T if As to the words iQ Christian name ^ of which so much use has been made , I ask io ( he first place , what is a Christian name ? Does it mean the Baptismal name ? Then no Anabaptist could have the benefit of the charity : bui no one that looks at the clause ca ' n doubt ttie object was irierely to have the proper description by which the person
Wag to be known , that is to say , both his names ; arid Christian is the term by which We usually designate the pr < snofnen or first name , in contradistinction to the second , or surname . With regard to the regulations , if we are to discuss the literal meaning" of every
expression , you will find it repeatedly said in many passages , that * all poor children of Bedford' shall be taught . If we are to argtie upon words , I say these are stronger Chan all the obscure , and by-tlie-bye
inferences ^ ich nave been drawn . The question is of great importance , of immense magnitude indeed , when we regietrct the principles on which gentlemen nave . argued it , principles which , say what they" will in disclaimer of persecution ,
amount to this , that the Jews are to continue , as they were in dark and barbarous asres , a proscribed , persecuted people , aliens and enemies by birth , incapable of property and civil rights , in defiance ' of all
the progress which a . liberal and enlightened' policy has been making , and I trust aii < l hope will cbhtinue ' to make , in discarding such narrow , bigoted notions from ihelir ' east of ' every honest an <}" generous FriencfoY mankind .
My Lorfl ; I leave the case with the most perfect confidence to your decision , satisfied ' that you will give it tne most dispassionate consideration , and that you will reinstate tttese petitioners in those privileges from whic ^ li " it has so unfortunately been attempted to exclude them . " ^ Thepordf CkartceHor deferred his judgment , stating * the case to be one which he
feltf to be of tKe highest importance , and that'He" would name an early day for" its decision . '{ Mft ^ hope to be able , with tfce assistance of our Valuable legal Correspondent , to present bur readers-witti a full and correct report of the CJiaricellbr ^ s iudgfment in this case , so interesting' to the friends of reh ~ gious liberty .
