Hacftney , Sir , Nov . 20 , 1821 . THE pages of the Repository will have to record another instance
of incarceration and fine for imputed blasphemy , in the person of a third individual of the Carlile family ; and it
is worthy of remark , that in passing a sentence involving perpetual imprisonment , Mr . Justice Bailey liberally allows Englishmen the privilege of thinking for themselves , but , according

to the newspaper report of bis speech , the right j of combating established opinions i 4 expressly denied . Thus after all the shifting and perversion of language and common sense by the lawyers in the course of the former
trials , and their awkward attempts to confound legal restrictions with religious freedom , Mr . Justice Bailey has let the cat out of the bag . He at least speaks intelligibly , and tells us what we have to trust to in future , The
degree of religious liberty left us appears to be limited to just so much as is independent of human power , and , according to my comprehension of his speech , not a whit more . If
this should be recognized as a principle * of legal administration in religious matters , then I think most of your readers will concur with me , that established opinions are the greatest curse that ever civilized man endured .
For this candid exposition , however , Mr . Justice Bailey is entitled to our thanks . And now , Sir , a word or two with respect to this unfortunate family who have shewn so determined an opposition to the national Creeds . I am aw ^ re how unpopular it is to become the apologist of persons in the situation of the Carliles . ' The
reasonableness or unreasonableness of their theological speculations is wholly beside my present purpose , which is merely to inquire how far the characters , conduct and fate of this suffering family will bear a comparison with those who have heretofore become martyrs to
the diffusion of opinions . Report says , that Mr . Carlile became a convert to infidelity at the instigation of his wife 3 and the sincerity of her opinions may be inferred from the fact of her not hesitating to impart them to her nearest and dearest connexions ,
and her voluntary suffering in their support : her constancy and firmness are unquestionable , foreseeing , as she did from the experience of her husband , her own inevitable fate . The conduct of the sister appears to have been equally courageous and persevering , and it would be difficult to find , instances of similar determined
sacrifices of liberty and comforts in a cause which appeared to the sufferers to be founded in error , or to involve known immoral consequences . If it be ob r jected that "gain , sordid gain , '' has been the actuating motive , I am not
