Church, J. (John), approximately 1780-approximately 1825 -- Trials, litigation, etc.; Trials (Sodomy) -- England
defendant was there, for what earthly purpose could he be there, than
that imputed to him? Gentlemen, the whole is for your consideration. I
have no doubt you have paid great attention to the proofs both on the
part of the prosecution and that of the defence. You will lay your heads
together, and I am persuaded, you will pronounce that verdict, which your
conscience dictates, and the evidence requires.
The Jury immediately found the Defendant GUILTY.
