dress' ball in this bookseller's shop of spacious di:
osenst•ns, being the front room of a little hods*, pro-
mised to obtain it; and we find that be was riot suf-
fered to rest.till he bad fulfilled his promise; for
the witness himself confesaed that be had great diffi-
culty in procuring it; and when be bad received it
from his hands, this prosecution fora libel on the King
and Constitution, which they were then trying. was
immediately commenced. At the time that Address
was purchased, the witness bought another Address.
and for aught they knew, (and in all eases were doubt
existed, they were bound to give the benefit of that
doubt to the defendant.) that was the very Address be
had advertised at his parlour window, (for be would
net call it a shop,) and that he was tempted by their
pressing importunities to sell this offensive Address.
This, he said, was a rank conspiracy formed against
the defendant, and that too at the very time when this
Society stood indicted in the county of Middlesex for
another conspiracy. They had circulated letters de-
famatory to the defendant, and they bad wickedly
tempted him to do an act for which they had after-
wards prosecuted him, and but for their intreaties to
a breach of the law, the Jury would never bare heard
of this defendant. If his prosecutors had descended
from their vaunted ground to an ordinary level, and
instead of this poor defendant, brought the writer to
his trial, it would have had more the appearance of
justice—first, because it was impossible that Ridgway
could know the contents of the book. and secondly, be-
cause the book might be read through without finding
a passage on which the talons of these harpies could be
fixed. His friend had preached up the desire which
this Address had manifested to create an insurrection,
and if particular sentences only were to be considered,
and abstracted from the general purport of the book. he
hardly knew one to which that, or some other preju-
dicial remark would not apply. Read the passages im-
mediately before and after those complained of, and they
could have no doubt of the meaning of the author, and
that he was a clear-headed and honest-hearted man.—
Look at the whole book collectively, and he would ask
if it smelt of blood? The author's attention had been
drawn to the Spanish Constitution, because in that a
favourable change hail been effected without bloodshed,
and the same meaning would apply to Naples up to
the time of the interference of other powers. and it was
in this light that he held them up to the view of English-
men; with the exception of these pass.iires, the whole was
an exhortation to temperance awl abstinence, and a
war with the revenue, which lie (lid not know was waging
war with the King. The author hail taken himself from
the mechanic's bench by his attendance to economy, and
the whole aim was to prevail on others to improve
their rendition by like means. He begged of the J ury not
to look at the isolated passages; in one part of his ad
dress he called himself a republican, the general
meaning of which is a form of Uovernment opposed to
Monarchy. this, if read detached, would be highly pre-
judicial to him ; but if connected with that which fol-
lowed, it would be seen that he only wished that the
throne should bend to the interests of the people. and
in that sense lie. and every person present, were, or
ought to be Republicans; for the very spirit of the
British Constitution was, that the throne should bend
to the interests of the people. The author's a 'thins
of Reform may be a mere chimera, but he had been
supported in those opinions by some of the greatest
and noblest men of the country from the time of the
Dike of Richmond in 1782 downwards, and by sour
of the most strenuous Tories thatever the country gave
birth to—even Dean Swift had only deprecated An-
nual Parliaments, because they were liable to abuse.
lie begged the Jury not to place implicit confidence in
one witness; the ground was tender, and they should
be cautious haw they trod upon it. It was upon this
single testimony that the other jackal! of the Associ-
ation had called upon them to give a verdict against
the defendant. Miller had said that there was a sign
over the door indicating that the defendant dealt in tea,
coffee and other exciseable wares; and could they think
that a man who sold theta for gain would call on his
very customers, and disseminate among them argil-
:nen:, to prevail oa them not to use those very things?
The evidence was. that be had been drawn into the
act by Miller, and those who set him on, who only
seemed to know one or two defects, which the most
perfect system of Oovernment was liable to, and they
were made the vehicles of their gain : they called it
precious, because they knew its value, and only clung
to it because they were Its bloodsuckers ; he warned
them against such Associations, and to do their duty
by defending the country from such harpies and
leeches. _ _

Mr. Justice lioutovo commenced the summing up
of the evidence ; at the time the writer said he would
not say a word about insurrection, he strongly re-
commended them to union, activity and co-opeiation.
His Lordship was remarking on the evidence and ten-
dency of the libel, when—
Mr. Bitouttnion said he was ready to address his
Lordship on that part of the libel on which he wished
to take his Lordship's opinion.
Mt. Jetties Hot.aovo—The whole must go to the
Jury for them to focm a judgment on it.
Mr. tiaouolux objected to this, and begged to he
r all•ired to hand in an exception, with a view to a bill
'd ell teptions and a future discussion if necessary, upon
that part of the libel upon which no meaning was put
upon the tecord.
Mr. Foams (with Mr. Brougham.)—Every charge

Mr. Justice HOLROTIL—That is matter for an arrest

Mr. grams thought that it was not so.

Mr. Justice HoLsorn continued his charge to the
Joey. The publication was in his opinion decidedly a
(libel. When he sold the Now Year's Address he also
sell aSetlese Address. and it did not appear to which of
