Mr. Justice Assort -You have reid collie enough
of this. You have shewn that it is a most improper
publication; it matters not by whom published. It
is to no purpose that you shew that there have been
blasphemous libels before your time; you must shew
that your own publication is not one.
Mr. Howe continued-The Jury would see what
.the real difference was between Mr. Garay and him.
Mr. Gilray, who published these things to serve the
purposes of the administration, had a pension for his
parodies.
The ATToRNILY-GENERAL said it was not before
the Court that Mr. Gilray had a pension. They
knew nothing of Mr. Gilray.
Mr. Hove said he had his informrion on this sub.
jest trom the relations of that Genilt man. He had
seen a plate of this same Gentleman's which might
be called a parody on the taking up of Elijah,. and
the leaving his mantle to Elisha. And who was in
the place of Elijah and Elisha in Mr. Gilray's print?
Why, Mr. Pitt was taken up to Heaven, and his
mantle was left to his political associates, among
whom were the present Ministry-those who insti.
toted this prosecution. While they encouraged these
applications of Scripture by their partisans, for it
was absurd to suppose that such things would have
been done if they were disagreeable to them, by such
a man as Mr. Gilray ; while they pensioned this am
ileman, was it decent to single out one of their poli-
tical oppeninis and to persecutd him under the guise
of a regard for religion ? Was it decent to do so in
the case of a parody, the whole object and intent of
which was political, and that too when they could not
produce a single-instance in. upport of their practice?
Was it possible to raistake the object of this I-

val-he had passed nights of an.vety and agony, and
he was brought to defend himself under all the dis-
advantages which a poor and unfriended man could
labour under. The public had been prejudiced against
him. The neivspapers throughout the country were
filled with false mad ignorant charges against him-
his character was blasted. Yet, be the result of this
trial what it might, be should be glad he had an op-
portunity of defending himself; and he felt that be
had done so to the satisfaction of ' every hottest man
-and, next co the consciousness of innocence, that
was what he valued most. He now stood clear with
those, who, if they had supposed him guilty of blas-
phemy, would have grinned at him as a monster,
and be should rest in peace as to the result. He
should bring witnesses to 'hew that as soon as he had
found that the Parodies were deemed offensive he had

done this to satisfy the objectiotts of respectable per

whether it was clear. from the work itself, and from
his actions, having those great examples which he
had adduced-whether it was clear that his intention
was not to ridicule the Ministerial Members, but to
proJece impiety, and to bring religion into contempt t.

Court, and others which he, for himself. thought ir-
relevant, but upon which, notwithstanding, he felt
the propriety of making some remarks. For instance,
the defendant bad spoken of obligations received
from him in the course of this prosecution, in conse-
quence of Ms attention to certain requests made by
the defendant, but he begged it to be understood,
that in making such replies to the applications of the I
defendant as those applications required, he had done
nothing mere that what he conceived to be his ditty
as Attorney• General. The defendant was not, there.
fore, to feel himself under any obligation—for from
the manner and the matter of the questions which
the defendant had put to him, he should have
thought it a dereliction of duty not to hare given
the most satisfactory answers in his power.—He
had no personal animosity against the defendant,
or any, other man whom his official duty called upon
him to prosecute, and, therefore, he could never hen.
tate to return a courteous answer to any courteous in-
quiries which might be addressed to him by such
men. Nnw as to the surprise which the defendant
had expressed, that be was not brought to trial upon
this prosecution, in the Sittings after last Term, he
would tell him the reason, and that reason ought to
have occurred to the defendant's own mind. Objec-,
irons were taken by the defendant as to the book from
which the Mastet of the Crown Office was in the habii
of striking Special Juries. This book, it was notorious,
had been returned to the Crown Office by the Sheriff
of Loudon. and the complaint of the defendant, as
well as of others was, that it did not contain a list of all
those in the city, who were by law eligibk to serve on
Special Juries, but that the list was confined to the
higher order of merchants. Why this was the case,
he (tee Attorney-General) could not say—but soon
after the defendant's complaint was made, the Sheriff
of London sent in several bobks, to the Crown-
Office, in lieu of that returned theretofore. and those
books were understood to contain a list of all who
were eligible to serve as Special Jurors.—ln con-
sequence of those circumstances, it was not deemed
right to insist upon the Jury that was struck
for the case of the deft ldest ; and as be had no op-
portunity last Term-of making any motion in Court
upon the subject. svbile the mistake alluded to was in
no degree a fault on his part, lie (the Attorney Ge-
neral) thought. it proper to have the trial postponed.
Sinus such postponement, was felt due to justice, he
thought it equally fair that the defendant, daring so
many months as that postponement must occupy,
should not be detained in prison. Hence be thought
it right to have the defendant I berated upon his own
recognisance. But it was quite erroneous to infer
that the delay was the effect of any, intention to aban-
don the prosecution, which was, in tact, continued in
its regular progress. Therefore, the defendant was
mistaken in considering this the revival of a prose-
cution which it was meant to abandon—for nothing
whatever, had occurred, since the commencement
of this prosecution. to alter the grounds or, in the least,
to affect the motives upon which it was instituted.—
With respect to the evidence adduced by the defen-
dant, to shew that he had discontinued the sale 0
this publication,that fact would no doubt form proper
matter fir the consideration of the Judges hereafter,
' when called upon to pronounce' their judgment; but
ft. had no islevanty to the question before the Jury,
iiehidt was simply this, whether tivepublicatitm *Bo-
ded to were a Libel or not ? The defendant had com-
plained that be had been improperly selected in this
instance for prosecution; but that complaint must
appear gronedless. when it 'was recollected that be
had avowed himself as the original publisher of the
piper which formed the subject of prosecution. The
defendant had indeed 'sleeted in the title-page, that
this paper /as"nicer' before printed ;" that it was
" an original, manuscript of John Wilkes, adapted to
the circumstances of 'the titles ;" so that the delen-
.dant was to be deemed mainly responsible fur its pub-
Ikation I once published, it was liable to be reprinted
by others ; but defendant, k was to be recollected,
was the fist tender of the poison, and therefore the first
person properly to be selected for prosecution; fur it
*al by him that the Mischief was set a-going, and to
hum will the consequences of that mischief be attri-
buted. The defendant had adduced a variety of peib:.
lications and prints, which it was impossible for 011
Man of just feeling or reflection to read or see with-
out the deepest regret; and what was the object of
producing this variety ? Why, to persuade the Coutt
to come to this conclusion, that because several libels
held been unpunished, his publication should escape
with impunity. Thin the defendant had pleaded
usage to justify guilt, but such a plea could not avail
before any just or rational tribunal. The defendant
bad endeavoured to excuse his own conduct by quot-
big Parodies upon the Holy Scriptures by some emi-
nent authorities. Among others♦, the defendant had
referred to the great author of the Reformation.--
But with all the praise that was due to this distin-
guished and meritorious individual. it must ever be
lamented, that in the course of the controversy which
he so ably maintained sigainst his Popish opponents,
be too often allowed himself to be betrayed by his
illl6loos into the spirit of that very bigotry which he
strongly condemned.
Here the Learned Gentleman was interrupted, and
became inaudible, in consequence of loud coughing
in the outer part of the hall ; and the Judge declared
that it order were not restored he must have tbe hall
cleared.
Silence being restored, the Leatnici Gentleman
resumed, and obterved, that any man, however high
his fame or general merit, who parodied the Holy
Scriptures, and tutus contributed to reduce the reve-
rence and solemnity of their character, was guilty of
a great offence. Another distinguished person quoted
by the defendant was Dr. Boyce. who was represented
to bate parodied the Loan's Prayer ; but, io so doing,
he (tee Attorney-General) could not hesitate to say,
that this Leatned Divine had done very wrong.
Then, as to the parody of Lord Somers, upon which
the defendant had dwelt so much.
he (the Attorney.
General) could not help expressing that regret, which,‘"
io doubt that great man himself would feel; if be'
bound' that every paper he had happened to write,
should, like that referred to, be Put Ashed to the world
after his Jeatliby some injudiciodffriend. But this
`Was an itiil to which great men were too often liable.

Pendant had also adverted to the mus;o to which
some of the Hymns of Dr. Watts Were set; hut neither
that, nor the music applied in the Hymns used in nor
own Church, could be seriously accused of having
the tendency of the publication before the Jury.
This tendency was indeed such a' could not bejusti-
fied in our law ; for the Christian Religion being a
part of the law, any publication which tendeJ to
bring the Holy Scriptures into ridicule, or to• render
them ludicrous, must be deemed illegal and
But the defendant had maintained that his publica-
tion could tint be fairly charged with the libel of im-
piety or irreligion, if it were not made out that it
evinced a desire to destroy.religion itself. This, how.
ever, was a most untenable doctrine ; for, whatever
tended to bring religion into contempt, as this publi-
' cation in his view most clearly did, was an impious,
profane act, and consequently a libel. The defendant
had said that he was a father. and he (the Attorney-
General) dared to say that he was also a Christian. .
Ulm, as he (the Attorney-General) had great respect
for all sects which w ,rshipped G',l:l in purity of heart,
he most express his surprise that the defendant could,
as a Christian, calculate upon saving the minds of his
children from serious mischief, unless their eyes were
hermetically sealed against this publication while ex-
posed in his shop. F.ir in this publication the Catechises
of the Church.the Loan's Prayer, the Apostle's Creed,
, and the Ten Commandments, which presei ibe all our
duties towards Goa and man, were insidiously attacked.
As to the assertion of the defendant, th at nothing was
a libel which was not sn pronounced by a Jury. he
(the Attorney• General) admitt.td. that. by law, the
Jury were the judges of the law as well as of the fact;
bur then it was to be remembered. that by the same
law it was provided, that the law of libel was not to
be measured by any capricious standard; for the very
same statute which invested the Jury with the right'
of deciding upon the law, authotiaed the Judge to•
declare his opinion upon any publication charged to
be libellous. Thus a provision was made against
that uncertainty which must prevail. if nothing wen
to be deemed a breach of the law of libel until the
verdict of a Jury had so pronounced it. If. indeed,
such uncertainty were allowed to exist. there was no
knowing to what degree of mischief it might lead.
He had the highest respect for the rights •ot Juries ;
but he trusted that the opinion of the Judge would
always have its due weight erns any Jury; and
in looking at the publication now before the Court.
he could have no doubt that the Jury- which he had
the honour to address would examine its chancier
and tendency, and decide from a full view of its
merits, without any reference to the alleged intention
of the publisher, whose intention was only to be
judged of from his set. This was not by any mama
such a publication as occasionally appeared in
.gious controversies; for in such cases, however the
disputants might differ, they never attempted to bring
religion into contempt or ridicule. But this pre-
sented a caricature of all that was most essential and
respectable in religion; and if such a pithlicatiot
were tolerated, it was impossible to say to what ex-
tent these persons were l.kely to go, who were the
systematic enemies of that sacred book which formed
the best means of happiness in this world, as wellste
in the world to come. The Learned Geittlentlii
concluded with expressing his confidence in the jot*
tactic of the Jury. s t"

Mr. Justice Aasorr commenced his charge, hy.
stating more particularly the form of the infortnal•
tion.-- The offence charged wasahe peblkafioil .cer,
libel, with design and intent to promote inspiety anff
irreligion : the chief part of the defenee had been
occupied in an attempt to spew that no sdefi'desie
or intent existed ; but if they were apparent on• thV
face of the production. if it were obvious. on inepec►
bon, that such was a necessary consequence, the lio
presumed that the party publishing had 'it it'contim;
platiun at the time of publication. Provided theJiirt
were satisfied that the libel had fietendeitcy charged,
its form and cheapness were calculated to accelerate
its curculatioo, and more widely to disseminate its
baneful effects. The discontinuance spoken of by
the decadent could not alter the tact of pvblieitioni
and though he might feel an early repentance, and
suppress the work a few days afte its appearance, the
crime was already completed, and the verdict cola
not be altered. though. ithe sentence of the -Court
might be affected by aarindication of contritinn..r.
The proceeding by information was known to the an
cient law of the land; it derived its authority ar fat
back as the proceeding by indictment; and whether
the sine or the other were pursued, could be a matter
of no importance to the Jury ; in the one and the
other the Attorney-General would equally have his
right of reply, even though no evidence were'cOled
for the defendant. It had been suggested that the
' Master of the Crown-office ought not to hare themes.
Planation of special juries; that he was to possess
that power had been settled by an Act of the reign
of George 11. He was furnished by the sheriff with
.a book or list, and from that he selected, as he kris
bound, the names of 48 persons fit to serve on speCial
juries ; each side had a right to strikeout 12, Ind the
retnaining 24 jurors were returned to try the question.
In ordinary cases the Sheriff, an officer also named
by the Crown, bad the duty of returning Juries. and
the proceeding in the Crown Office was as nearly es
possible analogous. His Lordship made these Oilier-
rations in consequence of what had fallen from Opt
of the Jury regarding what had appeared% the public
prints; whit the 1. awe Ist those productions were*
or did not know—but his Lordship was well-assured
of this—that one of the greatest evils known in the
present day was, that matters to he brought ufickr
the view of a Jury %A. err previously made the subjects
..t discussion in the newspapers, so as to produce dr-
fair impresions on the one side or on the other; and
to interfere with the impartial discharge of a most im-
portant duty. At the same time his Lordship was
persuaded that none of the gentlemen he now ad-
dressed had entered the box with any impropsi bias
' or predisposition: if gie defendant, as he stated, bad
been vilified and it was the duty of the Jury
not to allow what they ha*raril on of Court to !in v.
fie slightest influence tiiioln them—ate verdict was to
depend upon a con7iction as to the retort nt the libel.
The Attorney-Gener4l had said, a, truly, that the
Christian religion was part of the la r of the land,. and
any offence against it was therefore an off nee 4gainit

tion of the libel was purelt political, although 'a itli•
gious term bad been adopted; but admitting the fact,
it did not follow that the tendency or it' *as not. to

Lotus thy GOD in vain, for the Lono will not hold
him giiiltless that taketh his name in va'n." Did
not this libel take the name of the ALMIGHTY in
vain ? Did it not, allowing it to be political in
some • degtee, apply the sacred appellation of the
CluthTon to light and trivial matters ? Was it not
an application of the offices of Religion sad public
worship to matters comparatively insignificant ?
Hi: Lordship then proceeded to read and comment
upon the early part of the libel, observing, when he
arrived at the parody of the Lord's Prayer, that it was
unnecessary further to shock the ears of the Jury ; the
publicatit.n would be handed to theta, an they might
judge for themselves. It was contended that this was
sot an offence, because parodies existed on different
parts of tho sacred writings, and the service of the
Church ; that Luther, Dr. Boyce, and others, had
written them : it they bad, it was a matter of deep
regret ; their zeal and warmth might have misled
their judgment, and induced them to utter or publish
what, in calmer moments, they would haverepented
and condemned. The. employment 'of the style of
scripture narrative was in itself a high offence, but
not of a complexion so serious as that with which the
defendant was charged. Even the Parody of the
Psalms made by Mitten, could not be approved
more than that which the d:fendant had read, and
which, in truth, seemed to be a parody of Miiton.—
None of there instances could, however, furnish the
slightest excuse to the defendant. Caricature prints
had indeed no relation to the question before the
Court; but in far as they tended to bring religion
and its duties into contempt or ridicule, so far they
were offences. The question here was nut, what had
been done in former times; but what the defendant
had done in the present ? It was no question, whe-
ther he were or were not in himself a religiously dis-
posed man—it was to be hoped that he was so—but
it could neither increase nor diminish the measure of
his criminality. Although it was the business of the
Jury to determine the question of libel or no libel, it
was expected of the Judge that he should deliver his
opinion upon the nature of the publication. The
verdict was, however, to be the verdict of the Jury,
according to their consciences, and the opinion of
the Judge was to assist, and not to direct them.—
His Lordship was fully convinced that the produc-
tion was highly scandalous• and irreligious, and there-
fore libellous; but if the Jury were of a different
sentiment, their verdict would of course be an Sc.
quittal. It, however, teemed to admit of no doubt
or difficulty ; the design and effect were plain upon
the face of the libel; and to young and inexperienced
minds the consequences of a perusal might be most
injuriogs. What but a feeling of impiety, it not of
ridicule, could exist on the wind of a child during
Divine Service, if on the Saturday night or Sunday
morning this publication bad fallen in its way ? His
Lordship then handed the publications to the Jury,
desiring them to read it attentively, and to make up
their minds upon its object and effect.
Mr. Mous requested that the Jury should be fur-
nished, 'before they retired, with a copy of the in-
formition.— His Lordship accordingly handed to the
Jury an official copy of the information, and a prayer-
book.--Tfie Jury then withdrew, and remitted to:
the box in less than a quarter of a hour. Their names
were called over, and Mr. Law, in the usual man-
*et, inquired whom they had appoiuted to speak for
them as foreman ?
It being signified that Mr. BOWRING had been di-
rected by iiis fellows to deliver the verdict, Mr. LAW
risked him whether the Jury found the detendant,
William Hone, guilty or not guilty ?
Mr. Bowels° replied, in a firm voice— Not Guilty.
The loudest acclamations were instantly beard in
parts of the Court; Loss live the honest Jury, and
es boned Joy for ever, Were exclaimed by many
voices s the waving of hats, handkerchiefs, andep.
plauses continued for several minutes.
When order had been somewhat restored, Mr.
Justice ABBOTT interposed, and desired that those
.who felt inclined to rejoice et the decision, would re-
serve the expressions or their satisfaCtion tor a fitter
-place and opportunity. •

Owen, amused the amateurs with sparring at the
'theatre, which was well attended. The bells of
Norwich rang a merry peal on the evening of the
battle, and Painter, in a post-chaise and four, was
whirred info town with his Incas, in great state.

this instance. Painter, who was beat in 48 minutes
10 seconds on a summer's day, stood before his ad-
Vinery more than double the time in winter's rain,

bimaelf as game a man as ever peeled, but he was

perate kls.hand hits, although he received heavily
about the side of the 'head and- ears when at close

We have devoted a large portion of our Publica-
tion this day to the Trial of Mr. Holm, in the Court
of King's Bench, before Mr. Justice Armory, and I
Special Jury, 44 for printing and publishing a seditimis
and prophane libel" in the shape of a parody. The
trial will be read with particular interest by all
classes: The defendant was tried on a criminal in-
formation filed by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL : he de-
fended his own cause in a very able manner without
the aid of Counsel, and has been acquitted. -
In every view that can be taken of this cause the
result is most important, as furnishing complete and
incontrovertible evidence, that, howeva zealous the
Officers of the Crown may be to bring punishment on
individuals whose conduct troubles them, and how-
ever natural it may be for Rulers to endeavour to
repress and stifle oppcm,ion to any of their measures
—yet our Conslitution anti the administration of our
Laws, the ptocerdings in our Courts, and our bul.
wank, the Ts ial by Jut y, answer precisely the purposes
for which they were instituted by our wise forefathers;
wbo were never so chimerical as to espect an imma-
culate Government or an immaculate people.
Mr. Mos was again brought up this day, for the
purpose of being tried on the second Information
filed against him for printing and publishing an irre-
ligious and profane parody on the Loan's Prayer:
The Lord Chief Justice ELLEN:IOEOIIOU presided
on the Bench.

• • The ATTORNIT-GENZBAL stated the grounds of the
prosecution to the Jury in nearly similar terms to
those of his leading Address yesterday.

The publication was then read by the Clerk of the
Court ; after which the ATToaNaY-GrtuzAt, was
about to produce evidence of the fact of publication,
when Mr. HoNa rose, and stated, that he admitted
that fact.

The case for the prosecution being dm: clued,
Mr. Hone rose in his defence, which also varied but
in few particulars from that of his defence to the first
Information, of which we have, in our preceding
columns given so full an accoont. When proceed-
ing to reiterate his observations on what be termed
the unconstitutional mode of trial, by Information,
he was interrupted by

Lord ELI.IOIIOIiOUOI4 who said. that that was a
question wholly irrelevant to the present tria t
whatever aright be the merits of that anode, it was a
mode agreeably to the existing Law—that the defen-
dants might have demurred to such a mode of trial
before pleading, andihat judgment would have been
given on the demurrer—but that now that issue bad
been joined, and the case was before a Jury for trial,
it was quite irregular, and wasting the time of the
Court for the defendant to pursue the line of argil.
mein he had commenced-

The Defendant, however, still persisted, hoping
that every possible indulgence would be allowed to a
humble defendant in hii circumstances, pleading his
own cause, and with the whole power of the Crown
arrayed against him..
The Come Juarez rejoined, that irrelevant as the
matter was, yet if the Defendant conceived it at all
essential to his case, he would be far Irons desiring
to deprive him of the benefit of it, and would there-
fore hear him with all patience.
Mr. Hotta then continued ; and having concluded
his observations on this point, next adverted to the
question of the law of libel and the object of Mr.
Fox's Declaratory Bill, which for the first date, he
said, settled the law on the subject.
Lord ELLENBOROUGL—The law was the sante as
it now is long before ever that Bill existed. •
Mr. Hone resumed, and in allusion to the observa-
tions which bad fallen from his Lordship, remarked,
that it was difficult to imagine how a Bill which had
been devised by a man of such eminent legislative
capacity as Mr. Fox, and which had only been car-
ried into a law after many and long discussions, in
which the wisest and greatest men of their time had
participated, could be, after all, superfluous and nis-
i necessary.

The defendant subsequently adverted with some
warmth en the circumstance of bis having been re-
fused copies of the informations.
Lord Ectunsoaouon.—u You complain of that u
a hardship in your particular case, which, if it be so,
you only share in common with all his Majesty's
subjects."

.Mr. Hotis.—if Well, my Lord, for myself, and
for all his M4jesty's subjects, I do Nolen that it is a
most grievous and intolerable hardship that any man
should be called upon to plead to his guilt or Moo.
cence of a charge of which be is out allowed to bare
a copy."

The defendant then entered into the nature of the
present information against him, and complained that
the late Attorney-General on first moving it, had
stated it to be an information against him for
blasphemy—that the assertion had been reiterated
by Lord Sidasouth night after night in the House
of Lords—that all the Journals in the interest of
Government had concurred in assisting to bold him,

fortb to she world is A blstphemer and a wretch—
whereas the fact was, as he now found on curtaining
the record, that it was not an Information for blas-
phemy, but for irreligion and profaneness, which
were. offences of a very different die. While on
this pbint, he could not help farther, and more
particularly, requesting the attention of his Lord-
ship and the Jury, to an attempt made by two
Journals dc voted to the interest of Ministry to preltr-
dice the minds of the Jury now sitting on the question
before them, by a statement of the result of the pro-
ceedings of yesterday, wholly contrary to truth, and
by remarks upon it, obviously intended and most
directly calculated to mislead and inflame the minds
of the Jury who were to try this second information
against him. The first of thew Papers which he
would notice, was the Day and New 7 ilea, the Editor
of which was well known to be a man—

Lord ELLENBOIOIJOH.—" It is impossible that the
trash of Newspapers can be admitted as relevant mat-
ter here. What hare the Jury or Ito do with—"'
Mr. 1-loNzil It is not you, my Lord, but I who
am now on my trial."

A loud shout of applause from the crowd assem-
bled in the Hall followed this expression of the Defeo_
clant'a, and occasioned great sensation in the Court.
Lord ELLENBOROVOII called upon'the Officers im-
mediately to arrest and bring before him, any person
or persons whom they could recognize as concerned
in this gross insult to the dignity of the Court—but
the Officers reported, that with every attention to their
duty, they had not been able to fie on any particular
offender.

Order being restored, we left Mr. How& at one
o'clock, proceeding with his defence. The trial will
not probably be closed till a late hour.

This morning we received various Ales of Ameri-
can Papers to late dates, viz. Montreal to the I6th
ult. Charleston to the same date, Philadelphia to the
24th, Baltimore to the 25th, and New York to the
27th ult.

On the Bth of November W. B. COLTMAN, one of
the Commissioners appointed for settling the 'dd..

ferences between the Hudson's B4y and the North-
West Companies, returned to Montreal from the Red
River with H. *Resat!, Esq. The Earl of SILL-
Kra r, who was returning by the circuitous route of
Philadelphia, had not arrived on the 15th, but was
daily expected. The weather continued remarkably
fine for the time of the year. .
The people of Amelia island still suffer much from
the party feuds and dissections which prevail there.
On the Bth November the place was pot uoder mar-
tial law.

Want of room prevents as today from giving ex-
tracts from the papers before us.

BRIGHTON, DECBMBZR 17.
