He defended the Alien and Sedition Acts and severely criticized the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions. He was impeached and removed from the bench on a charge of slander arising from his refusal to allow an associate judge to address a jury. Alexander Dallas was the prosecutor. Second and best edition, with appendix which collects material on impeachment, absent from the first edition, which was also published in 1803. It includes not only the trial with much material on the nature of impeachment and Addison’s lengthy justifications of his conduct.…
