LIBEL.-On Monday at the Municipal court
in lhls city, came on the uial Of the editor OF a
paper, lalely removed hther from Providence,
called the Anri> Universalist, for libel on the
character of George B. Beal deceased
The proceedings in the case were interesting
on account of he nature Of the matter charged
tuary notice published in The Trumpet, Uni
versalisf paper. The Anti.Universallst said
the deceased was "habituated to profanity
but tina, he died peni,enr. The prosecuting Off.
Ger commended, that this was needless defama
ton calculated To injure the feelings Of the liv.
ing friends, and the reputation Of The deat; and
that it was not done for any coed motive, but
for making public quarrel with the Trumpet,
for the sole end Of gaining no,orieiy, and ad-
ding 10 the sale Of the Anti universalist. The
defence was, that the accusation was true, and
that it was made with the view OF correcting
the Misrepresentation Of the Trumpet.
After tedious examination which continu-
ed for two days, the jury returned a verdict yes
terdsy morning Of NOT GUILTY.
This case derives additional interest from the
strenuous attempt Of the defendant, to have Un-
iyersalists excluded from the right CT taking an
oath. The witnesses being all Universalists on
the part Of the Government, he labored to have
them rejected from the stand; but the court o.
verruled the objection, deciding that, "3 a man
belicved in the erisienee Of God, tOho oouid re-
,oayd the good and PUNISH the ,oicksd, he had all
the Qualifications required by law for admission
as witness or juror, though proof Nigh be
brought, concerning his religious opinions, as
matter to discredit his testimony.
