One sworn in court. A true Bill. On the names of the gentlemen summoned as Special Jurymen being called over, only five answered to their names. The Attorney-General prayed a tales, when the following were sworn:-- The Jury. Special-- Robert Savage, Esq., 11, Montaguplace, Bloomsbury. James Arboine, merchant, 3, Brunswick-square. William Fechney Black, merchant, Wilton-place. Charles Frederick Barnwell, Esq., 44, Woburn-place. Robert Eglinton, merchant, 29, Woburn-square. Common Jurors-- Charles Ricketts, stove-maker, 5, Agar-street, West Strand. William Polden, licensed victualler, Villiers-street, Strand. John Osborne, confectioner, 401, Strand. John Johnson Ruffell, painter, 24, Church-street, Soho. Thomas Reid, baker, 24, Old Compton-street, Soho. Charles Phillips, ivory brush-maicer, 20, King-street, Soho. J. Mahew, baker, 84, Greek-street, Soho. Mr. Bult opened the proceedings The Attorney-General said, this was an indictment found by the Grand Jury of Middlesex, for the publication of certain blasphemous libels. It appeared to him that all he should have to do, would be to prove the publication of the libels in question. He had not hesitated for one moment, when he found there were only five Special Jurymen, to pray a tales, because it was to him a matter of perfect indifference from what class of society the Jury was taken. It had frequently been laid down by the Judges, that to insult and vilify Christianity was against the law. Publications insulting religion, and addressed to the vulgar and uneducated, were most dangerous. He would call a witness who purchased these books in the defendant’s shop, the defendant himself being present; and he should prove that the defendant was rated to that house. It gave him pain that it should be necessary for the Jury to hear such shocking attacks as were contained in this publication. It consisted of a series of letters, and each number was sold for a penny. It was "Letters to the Clergy of all Denominations" and was, in fact, an attack upon the Holy Scriptures, particularly on the Old Testament. He should content himself with reading one extract.--(The learned Gentleman then read an extract from Letter 8, contained in the first count of the indictment.) Mr. Hetherington was in person to defend himself: they would hear what he had to say, and then he (the Attorney-General) would have an opportunity of again addressing them. The following witness was then called and examined by Sir F. Pollock. Alexander Kerr, a policeman, bought the "Letters to the Clergy," 5, 8, and 13, at the shop of the defendant, 126, Strand, on the 5th of February last. A young man served him. Knows defendant--he was standing on the threshold of the door at the time; has known him for the last three years; has seen him repeatedly at the shop. Paid one penny each for the letters.
