* * lilftUUU.One woman, Mrs. Maria Joa-quina Alves, was brought to trial fot; denying the real presence and oth$r tenets of the Roman Catholic Church. Although she was arrested January 31, 1843, she was brought to trial only on May 2,1844, when she w as condemned to death for blasphemy, heresy and apostasy. The English group interested in Dr. Kalley’s work petitioned the queen of Portugal inkier behalf, and an appeal was taken to the Court of Relacao at Lisbon. The decision of this court did not reach Funchal until April, 184S, Mrs. Alves meanwhile remaining in prison at her own charges. On a technicality, the sentence of death was commuted to imprisonment for three months from the date of the sentence, with a fine of six dollars. After the expiration of her sentence, she was detained in prison to meet this fine and the costs of her prosecution and imprisonment, finally being released in June, 1845.Dr. Kaliey Arrested1waM*misiopo:vaM«GcArAtreVitirniidemipa;anlt;thachinizsorretuniPrisorTwatskit
