guilty ; if it were possible for them to think otherwise , they would give the defendant the benefit of their doubts by an acquittal . TJie Jury , without leaving the box , returned a verdict of Guilty . Mr . GimNEY . —My Lord , I move that the defendant be committed .

Before this case was opened to the Jury , Mr . Hill , who was Counsel for Mrs . Caplile , addressed the Court upon the subject of challenging a Special Juror ; the ground , however , appeared to the Court to be insufficient to warrant
the challenge . Mr . Gurney stated the case , and called Thomas Vere , who proved that he purchased the publication which he held in his hand , The Memoirs of Thomas Paine , on the 28 th of January last , at the shop of Mrs . Carlile , and also The Republican in the same shop .

The * propriety , and even necessity , of allowing-a- similar privilege to other colleges in whiGh there were Protestant students , was evident : several consistories and pastor ^ -r ^ -those of
Paris iri particular- —took repeated opportunities of representing this to the competent authorities , by petitions , for the establishing of ProtestanX wor ^ liipjn some of the places of education . The last appeal of this kind was a memorial presented , iii 1818 , to his Excellency the Minister

The Ctmsistory supported the memorial by a peMtlojb , which they considered the more likely to avail , because the Protestants of Bordeaux had just addressed to -th 6 Chamber of Deputies a petition respecting the religious instruction of Protestant pupils in
