Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, a postscript to the authorâs earlier work, seeks to address arguments made against the points he made in his initial writing. The author holds that no judge in a criminal proceeding should have knowledge of the relevant facts until the trial takes place and that justices of the peace can't also be considered attorneys general. Criticizing the idea that a jury cannot determine whether something is libelous, the author argues that it is their duty to decide whether any paper was libelous or not, even if the libel was against the state. The author also claims that according to the law, there is no such thing as a public libel, and that prosecuting a libeller in a criminal way contradicts the nature of a free constitution. The author concludes by stating that binding to good behavior should only be a discretionary judgment given by a court of record for an offense at the suit of the King, after a verdict and trial by a jury. Overall, this book delves into the legal concepts of libel and free speech, contending that the law should protect individuals from arbitrary prosecution and censorship.
