      The Kino v . Samuel Waddington . — Tbe Defendant , who was convicted at the late sittings in Westminster of publishing a blasphemous libel , contained in Palmer ' s Pvinofptes of Nature , was brought up lor judgment . lie mo ^ ed for a new trial ,

      and on this amongst other grounds , that one of the Jurymen having asked the Lord Chief-Justice whether it was an indictable offence for any person to publish a work denying the divinity of Chr ist , hi * Lordship answered in the aflffermatire , upon which direction , he said , the J * ury

      found him Guilty . Now he insisted that in this respect the learned Judge was clearly wrong , because the statute exteuding liberty of conscience to Unitarians had expressly declared that to deny the godhead of Christ was not an offence in the eye of fcke law . r—The Solicitor-General said the Defendant had
