21 May 1809 Part 1 1 17
Elements of packing Part 2 Ch 9

§§.1. Crushing doctrine

1.
Libel law as it is is
destined for a separate
work — But without
some conception of it
no idea could be formed
of the chief mischief of
the packing system.
p.1.

2.
Treatment given to
the press is inconsistent
with the political use
of it. p.1.

3.
Fundamental fallacy
— confounding demand for
punishment with do
for disapprobation — Rather
wherever any disapprobation
is excited Guilty
follows of course. p.1.

4.
Propositions deducible
from recent libel law
practice and doctrines
1. Sufficient cause for
disapprobation in do
for conviction.
2. Libel, any thing tending
to bring government
into hatred or contempt.
3 or to question fitness
in a public man
— or to wound &c feelings
especially if in a
high situation. p.2.

§§.1. Crushing Doctrine

4(a)
Qualities in discourse
the punishable criminality
in which is
inferred from their tendency
to excite disapprobation —
I. Per Perceval Atty Genl
1. Want of fairness and
liberality
2. Flippancy
3. Deviation from decency
4 Unbecomingness —
5. Impropriety
6. Illnature
7. Want of candour.
p.1.

Attorney Gen's law as
above, though howsoever protested
by Deft Counsel
is confirmed by Judge's silence.

II. Per Ellenboro' — Ld Ch. J.
8. Tendingency to ridicule
9. Unendurability by
reason of contradiction
opposed to a Judge
2. This a contradiction to an observation
of deft's Counsel — viz
that by such doctrines the liberty
of eql Press wod be extinguished.

Ellenboro's incapacity of
endurance proved — his
aim to communicate
it to the Jury that
they may enable him
to inflict any number
of years imprisonment
&c.
p.4.

Thus let a Judge
utter falshoods so
flagrant and
the to
be punished for them
is not the utterer nor
the complainer. p.4.

Consistently with
this every Bookseller
who vends, and every
one else who helps to
disseminate Blackstone
ought to be punished.
p.4.

5. 1. Broadside poured upon
fact by signing fiction.
for fees — (By the oak
the paths of justice are
converted into a jungle &c)
6. By speaking as an advocate
from a Brief
7. By signing sham Pleas.
8. Object of distinction between
falshoods allowable
& not, enabling well
paid marksmen to pour &c
9 Endurable to pour broadsides,
unendurable to be
told of it. p.5.

£2000 a year in his
Lordships gift part
by letting lodgings for
which he provides
customers recommendation
to provident men
to pref retain lodgings
in time.

1 Per Ellenboro' stating
matter by which it is
meant to infer
want of fitness for high

2. Per J.B. among the
Parls Reformers there
are some by whom the
