Mr. Justice Houtoro--I costar ie the- spines re-

Work the Jury made inquiryahont was clearly libellous,
and that what the Lord Chief Justice said was right
There was abundant evidence to prove the defendant was
concerned in this publication. It appears that he kept a
part of the shop, and there is so doubt the sale was con-
retied by him. • '•
Mr. Justice Be/T.—The fru Minelleis here Is, whether
the Jury are warranted i 3 the oonstrediiii put on the defend-
ant's conduct. The question left to dieJsry wee, whether

this evidence, it would be impossible any et co”ld be
brought to justice for a blasphemous palladium. This is
an extremely bungling attempt to obtain it awe trial. la
the first place the defendant occupies a shop below. sad a
room above, where the machinery is set at work. The de-
fendant Is seen below, and it is Itaposeible to elttir=
la his window was not an invitadoe to hey
blasphemous books. They are told to come into the sleep
wherribe defeodent is standing; and It la for the defendant
to show he was sot the seller of these books. He does set
prove who sold the books, and I have so doubt be was the
segue who sold the book. The Jery, is my opleies; did

Ondouhtedly a libel to speak of Jesus Christ, as he Is spokes

to speak of our Saviour this way, end I repeat ebonite e•
gresed for a new trial.
The Lord ester Juretcs then asked the delesdaet wimp
thee he had any thing to say In mitigation of punishment?
Waddington said. although be stood before the Court
for judgment, he was Dot disheartend.- He knew there
was a bar at which the Judges themselves most one day
answer for their conduct. Perhaps it might be said to
sine—" I'll cut him off who slandereth his neighbour
privily."—lt would be said to them as in St Mathew—
*, Depart from me ye cursed, into everlasting fire," le.
be. Many_ would feel the wrath to come, if they did
sot de justice and give the poor fair play with the law
eft/se laud. He should always applaud meat who tensed
from evil ; hot to those who oppressed the poor therm
-was nothing be would need*. This book (Blecitstome)
says, justice shall be dose to the poor as well as AA.

The .SOLICITOR.UtMERAL said, be "book' sot trouble
the Conn with many observations. He was sore tbe
defendant bad so posed to complain elf lieleg
noder any hardship on his trial. He bad teen most
hnmaneiy treated. Every thing
.he had to urge was at-
tended to by the Joey, and no interroptios but been
hollered. With rrepect to the nature of the charge, it
was quite impossible any. two could differ. This mu
only part of the prosecution against the publication of
the libel. Carlisle was convicted of publishing the
very passages found in this record. A more infamous
used blasphemons libel was never read t and if what
the defendant said about the increase of cirv•alation was
true, it justified the prosecution. The defendant was
not ignorant of the character of the publication, because
in One of his placards in the window, he described it to
be a blasphemous publication.
Here tbe 'defendant stated, this the assertion of the
Solicitor General wqs not true. -
The Sohicieoe.Gsmattah read the placard in the fol-
lowieg terms:—.. This is to give 'notice, Samuel W ..
dington does not sell spy thing seditious and bias
mous: but he has a strong suspicion that somebody u
his ,roof does." To what could that refer but to the
work solehie the defendant's shop. With respect to the
prosecution, considerable time elapsed before they wore
able to put as end to the pablication. , In eonseqesoce
of the notoriety of the defendant's conduct, it became
the subject of general conversatlee, and the Attorney-
General coneidered it his duty to put so end to it. They
had made great efforts for the purpose of putting dews
liters fahilleet, and the hope was, they should at last
succeed in suppressing what the public at large consi-
dered a terrible grievance.
The Judges then consulted on the quantum of punish-
ment,
Mr. Justice BATLEY. delivering the judgment of the
Court, gave the defendant some credit for not dmiyile
is his affidavit that he here of the peblicetion, Self -
tormented in the profits. Every malt was at liiiiff
thick adjudge for himself upon religiOus points. and
discuss religious matters, but the libel was not a diem!
sion but a declamation, describing the Bible as a work
of indecency and immorality. It was not a discussion
on doctrinal points but a work isjurioas to manners and
morale. Whenever cues of this sort bad come wider
Isdieiel consideration there had never been but ens opt-
don on the enbject. They had invariably treated books
ssf this description as libels, and he bad no hesitation in
ellyitig the bookiii question was a libel. It was declared
a Bbel in the case of Carlile. The defeodant bad•quoted
as from a book the Court held in 'reverence, and
admit of their oath they endeavoured to act up-
right in the discharge of their duty, so that they toight
be prepared t• stand before that tribeeel to which the
defendant hail allnded. The Court, taking into coed-
&ration all the circumstance/. ordered the defeedeet,
for the offooce, to be imprisoned In the Hones of I,?lit
faction, Colt Bath fields, one year, and to And anreff fp
for his goal behaviour for five years, himself in INK
and two others in 541:. each.
The defendant .inked the Court to make au order to
allow him pee and ink in prison. end for his preludes
against ill usage. ,
Mr. Justice liaetatv said the Court bad no power to
make any pledge. The keeper would, no doubt, do his.
duty, withont unnecessary severity.

cisien of this Court when the Bishop of Clogher is

This case Is one of peculiarinterest to the landlords
