Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Trial and Preliminary Proceedings in the Case of the Queen on the Prosecution of G. Achilli V. Dr. Newman: With an Introduction, Containing Comments on the Law and on the Course and Conduct of the Trial, Also With the Pleadings and Affidavits; And Copious Notes, Particularly on the Constitution and Practice of the Court of Inquisition Such serious legal, moral, and religious considerations are involved in this case, that its publication, in a correct form, is clearly required. It has been said that the trial could only cause scandal: if it were so, Dr. Newman would not be responsible; for the prosecutor had previously published charges - gross and sweeping - involving the great body of the Catholic clergy, and Dr. Newman came forward to destroy the mischief of the scandal by removing its generality. He said "Thou art the man! These things are true, of yourself!" Moreover, there can be no scandal to the Catholic Church; for the prosecutor confesses, that from 1829 he had doubts as to her doctrines, and soon after disbelieved; nor to the Protestant, for he avows, that for many years after he was perfectly persuaded of the imposture of the Catholic doctrines, he continued zealously to teach them, and to perform a worship he believed to be idolatry. To what religion can his history now be fairly said to cause scandal? If it be said, that supposing the charges against him to be true, he must have been connived at in the Catholic Church, the answer is to be found in the evidence.
