This was an Worm/dim' filed by his Majesty's Anne-
ney-ti rrrrr 1. against the defendant, for publishing and
causing and procuring to be published, a blasphemous
libel, concerto/if the Holy Scriptures, and the Christie@
Religion, regained in " Pointer's Principles of Ns.

The decease', In person, abruptly interposed, and
claimed the right to be tried by a petit Jury, insisting
(upon the authority if Mr. Justice Blackstone. in the
4th vol. of his Caramegaries on the Law of ileglaad,
page I 04), that this was the only legal and proper mode
of obtaining • trial in such cases. The defendant pro-

The LoatrCatitiorrtca listened to bins with patience

knew of no law which prohibited the trial of the Informs-
lion by a special Jury. At present the trial must proceed;
but if the d rimiest could satisfy, the Court above. that the
else ought not to have been tried by a special Jury, he
might hare a new trial. On the present occasion, the
' special Ju bad been appointed by a rule of Court, and
sitting at Niri Prins. his Lordship had no alternative
but to proceed.
The defendant, whose language, gestures and demean-
our, it is impossible to describe, seemed snuck dissatisfied
with the result of his objection.
Mr. SRIPRIRD then opened the information Land
Mr, SOLICITOR ORNIRAL (with whom were Mr. °GR-
IM and Mr. LITTLCDA Le) stated the case for the crown.
The defendant stood to take his trial, upon a charge of
having published and caused to be published a blasphe-
mous libel concerning the Holy Scriptures; and he (the
Learned Solicitor) would not insult the understandings
or disgust the ears of the Jury by repeating the parti-
cular terms and expressions of the libel. It was enough
that the libel should be read once when it was produced
in evidence. Suffice it for the present to say, that it
was a libel upon the Old and New Testament. upon the
character of our Saviour, and upon the principles of the
Christian Religion, expressed In such terms as must
even be offensive to those who were disposed to question
the truth of Revelation. The only question for the
Jury was, whether the defendact had been guilty of
publishing and circulating the libel in question? The
libel, for which the defendant was now prosecuted, bad
been before made the subject of information in this
Court, and the publishers bad been convicted and pun-
ished. Many attempts had been made to prevent the
further circulation of it. An information had been pro-
secuted against a person named Carlile, for the publi-
cation of the same libel. That person had: been convict-
ed. and the Crown 141.1 seized all the property belonging
to him, which was to be found in his house in Fleet-
street. In short, no pains were spared to put a stop to
the circulation of this and other works of a similar ten-
dency. To counteract these efforts, it would appear in
evidence that the defendant took a house and shop
nearly opposite to St. Clement's Church, in the Stand
(one of the most public situations in all London,) and com-
menced the trade of a pamphlet seller. The shop was
divided into two parts by a partition, one of which,
together with the second floor of the house, was let to
Mr. Poole, a tobacconist; and the remainder of the pre-
mises were occupied by the defendant. The defendant
inscribed his name in large letters over the door, and
commenced the business of a pamphlet seller. Soon
after he cause into she shop, the utmost attention was
excited by placards exhibited in the shop window. One
of them was couched in the following terms:—" Paine's
Ageofßeason,andPalrner'sPrineißles ofNatere,are now
selling behind the curtain,- price :is. each. Ne connec-
tion with Waddington. the fanatic." It was perfectly
well known, that Paine's Age of Reason had then been
prosecuted, and declared by successive Juries to be blas-
phemous. Of this the defendant could not be ignorant.
Another placard was exp din the following terms:—
"To the forces of the firidge-street and Essex-street
Gangs. Samuel Waddington having seen them roaming
about his shop like roaring lions, seeking whom they
may devour ; this is to give notice, that Samuel Wad-
dington dors not sell any thing seditious or blasphemous;
but has a strong suspicion that somebody under this roof
dues." It was evident from this, that the defendant had
pronounced his own judgment upon the character of the
works which he exhibited for sale. The mode resorted
to of carrying oo his trade was this :—Witliin side the
shop on the wall were posted the titles " Paine's Age
of Reason,"—Paliner's Principles of Nature," and the
names of other similar works. Against each of these
was a hook suspended from a rope, which had commun.-
cation with the first floor of the house, and any person

the bag, the work wanted was immediately dropt
down through tho spout. The defendant, it should
seem, had supposed that by this ridiculous contrivanbe
and machinery, he might protect himself against the
cmisequences of his acts. But in this be was mistaken.
By law, be was responsible for the acts of his servants,
and if be kept the shop, though be did not vend blas-
phemy or million with bis own hands, yet he was sti,i re-
sponsible, as the persOn haring the controul and manage-
ment of the business. This conduct of tho defendant
excited • good deal of public attention. Mobs were
collected about his door, and the neighbours made
complaints that they were interrupted in their
lawful evacatie - At length steps'were taken to put a

He saw the defeadant Ofeplfsg at chi aperture, which

another officer wept into the shop, and pulling the ring
opposite -" Palmer`; Principle of Nature," a bac was let
dowo, into which he put two half crowns, which wens
drawn up by the defendant, who immediately went down
stairs chinking the money
.in his heads, and handed the
officer a chair, and in a mutate or two a copy of the
blasphemous work, now under prosecution, was dropt to
the officer; and be took it up, and left the shop. I.4der
thew circumstances, the Jury could have no doubt Mrat.
ever that the defendant was the publisher of the husk
in question. He was engaged in the very transaction ;
he was seen in the room taking the money, was heard to
chink it when he went down stairs, and afterwards was
present when the book was delivered to the whitest".
Both in law, as well as in fact. the defendant was clearly
the poblisher, and if they were of this opinion, they
could have no difficulty in Wins him Guilty.
Parton, a flew street Officer, proved that in. May last,
the defendant occupied a shop and premises, No. 2UOk,
in the Strand. His name was over the door. He saw
two placards in the dJendant's window, of which lie
took codes.
Mr. hlijeli lespey, Clerk to the Treasury Solicitors,
proved service of notice upon the defendant to produce
tbe original placards.
The defendant admitted notice, and said, the Counsel
foe the prosecution might go on.
She Cater Jrartcs said, it was Not to be taken for
granted • that notice to produce was Necessary is such a

4th of May, in company witikSteith and. Duke, two other
Officers, he went to the defetiaant's shop. He deseribed
the machinery and contrivance by which the defendant
carried on his business, as mentioned by the Solicitor-
General, and proved the purchaseof a copy of •• Pahner's
Principles of Nature," in the manner already stated.
The defendant then proceeded to cross-examine Ilia
' witness. His language and deportment were such, as to
call for the interposition of
The CUM JUSTICE, who said to the Counsel for tha
Crown, there is something in the manner of this win,
which appears to IRO to import derangement.
Mr. GURNIEY.—Your Lordship's suspicion has no fume-•
dation whatever.
The cross-examination proceeded, the defendant en-
desvooring to shake the credit of the witness, who stated
that be bad often been in the defendant's shop before.—
On one occasion, he bought at the shop, the ilefett-
dant', Letter to the Editor of The Traveller. The de-
fendant was present. He did not serve him ; but de-
sired him to put down his money, and take up the pam-
phlet from the counter, which he did, and the defendant
took up the money. He was positive that he saw Ow
defendant in the room above the shop at the time the
money was drawn up through the spout. Denied th st
there was any thing in the structure of the lock whicla
impeded his view. The defendant never refused to sell.
him blasphemous or seditious works. He assaulted
or struck the defendant in his owe shop. Could not b•t
palitive that the pamphlet he bought at the defendant's
shop was the letter to the Editor of The Traveller. Oa
one occasion, when he was in the shop, the defendant
abased him and called him names. Did say to the de-
fendant, that if be was a prisoner of his, and the mob en-
deavoured to rescue him, he would blow their brains or
his oat. The copies of the placards which he produced
now, were in the hand-writing of Duke, but he had Lira
made copies himself with a pencil.
The defendant complained in a violent manner that ha
had been surrounded by a host of incendiaries.
Mr. GURNEY called upon the Court to restrain the de-
fendant from using this sort of language.
The Cuter JUSTICE—It really strikes me that there
is something wrong in this man. There is another made
ofiloing sonteltin4 with him. The Statute prescribes
what is to be done in such cases.

The defendant said lie was glad that the Learned
Judge appealed to the Statute, and he would abide by
the law. Looking to the Jury, be said, he said his
would abide by their judgmeut. He was determined to
expose the parties. He would be judged by their ver-
dict, and if, as in the case of Sodom and Gomorrah,
there was only one righteous man among thew, he
should he semi.

The Cuter JUSTICE...." really feel • difficulty in pre-
needing in this man's case.
The JU•Y seemed to intimate a doubt that the defen-
dant was not right in hie senses.
The Cuter JUSTICE—There is a course which the
law has pointed out, which, if it becomes necessary, I
shall adopt. The Jury seem to agree with me that all is
not right.
Mr. utivrev—From all the information we hive re-
ceived, we have no reason whatever to believe, that
there is any ground for supposing that he is insane—
certainly not. We certainly have no notion that that is
the case.

The Cuter .Insanca —1 am speaking of this man's con-
duct and appratrance, .which ha►e very strong indica-
tions of what I hare alluded to. I shall let biro go on
in any course of etaniination that at all bears upon his
case; bat he must conform himself to the law.
What did you say to me?-1 said I would be a friend
to you ?
Waddington—A very good friend, indeed. Did yo
not strike me and threaten to blow my brains on't?--No ;
