_Salem Observer_, Aug. 4, 1827.

In the "Salem Register" of Oct. 11, 1820, we find the report of the trial
of a man charged with the crime of Sabbath-breaking by delivering milk to
his customers. The presiding judge (Mitchell) seems to have made a very

person or persons to prosecute such individuals as they happen to know who

of Norfolk, which was not labour of _necessity_ or _mercy_.

Churchill, for Defendant, in cross examining the witnesses,
enquired why they rose at so early an hour, on the 25th June, and
went to walk? They answered that it was partly to exercise, and
partly to perform their duty as professors of religion. They said
they had made up their mi
