LAMENrABLE IGNORANCE OF PRISONERS. The Re.
corder, in his charge to the jury at The Liverpool
Sessions, on Monday, dwell, upon this subject, and
adduced some startling examples which had been
brought under his notice /: One man had been found
entirely ignorant Of religious subjects, believing that
Christ had been stoned DEATH and no, that he was
cruci6sd. Another. pipemaker by trade. had never
heard of Jesus Christ. Another did not know who
his Rsdeemer was, but could partly guess. Another
was entirely ignorant on the subject; did not know
the meaning of Redeemer; knew not where Christ
was born, but believed that he was twice crucfed-
first in heaven, and the second time in hell he had
no idea whatever Of what became of the soul after
death. Another knew not the Redeemer, nor who
Jesus Christ was. Another who had been i've years
in Liverpool. aborer could say who his Saviour
was-had no idea did not know what was to become
Of him after death; had heard of Jesus Christ, but
did not know what he And 80, said the learned
Recorder. with regard TO the female prisoners; one
woman knew not the name of her Redeemer, had

him. Engl;sh pauer.
And this in enlightened England, where they have
habeas corpus. trial by jury. and all that; and whose
government abolished African slavery at a cost of

three millions of slaves in the United States not one
can be found as ignorant of the Christian religion
