The Trial of Henry Hetherington, on an Indictment for Blasphemy
Hetherington, H. (Henry)
Hetherington, H. (Henry), 1792-1849 -- Trials, litigation, etc.; Trials (Blasphemy) -- England -- London
"My Lord Chief Justice Denman, the eyes of the country, and of foreign
countries, are upon you. The issue of your sentence is the same, except
to the individual; for, liberate him, you respond but to the voice of
all enlightened men throughout Europe; incarcerate him, and by passing
an inhuman sentence upon an innocent man, you enforce a judgment that
you have promulgated in Parliament to be abhorrent in principles and
feelings, and this will produce a powerful redaction.
"PUBLICOLA."
