    I would not , however , take Upon me to say , that the duties of juries may not be reduced , at no distant period , and placed upoh the narrow footing that the Christian Liberal , and the

    juries he exculpates ,, seem to consider them at present . By the recent expunging of the word falsely from these informations , juries are already saved the trouble of examining into that inconvenient question of the tfuth of a libel , and at the same time the

    defendant is saved the trouble of attempting his justification upon so frivolous a pretext as the truth of hfe opinions ; and it may not be too much to anticipate a further omission 6 f the word malice , or as much mote of thfe

    Free Press and Unitarianism in In dm . IN a former Number ( p . 584 ) we gave , under this title , an extract from the Morning Chronicle , with a few reflections of our own . After

    that Number was printed off , there appeared a letter in the same newspaper , ( of September 30 , ) signed * Joseph fvimet / , " purporting to be a correction of some $ rrQr in the . pai * a ~ graph forming the extract . Mr .

    Ivimey is the minister of the Baptist congregation in Eagle Street , London , and is conrie < ited tvhh the management of the Baptist Missionary Society . In answer to his letter , another was inserted in the Chronicle of October 3 .

    signed " Robert Aspland . " To this appeared a reply from Mr . tvimey in the paper of OfcfcObefr 11 , and the cort * espohdenCe was closed by a rejoinder from Mr . Aspland , which * tppeared October 15 . It se £ ms desirafele to

    several of dur correspondents , as we confess it does to us , tlrat these letters should be registered Ih onr ' work ; for Indian Unitarianism will , if \ Ve do not greatly err , form a prominent feature in some future volumes of the Monthly Repository : we insert then * v * frbatvmy and " without note or comment /'
