1.
Occasion of this work
article in the Times 20
Feb. 1809 about the 26
Informations for Major
Hogan's Pamphlet.
p.1

2.
The article quoted so far
a s concerns the facts
1. Two persons indicted for
slandering the British
Army who had never
seen the article plead
guilty.
2. Informations against 25
republishers of Hogan's
Pamphlet.
3. After they had retracted
on Hogan's flight.
4. Hogan's trustworthiness
had been attested by 9
Genl officers and he
noted for promotion by
D of York. p.1.

3.
To these allegations, no
public contradiction: private
confirmation. p.1.

4.
J.B.'s old conception
as to Libel law —
1. In fact undefined —
2. Useful to be so
would never have been
published scarcely expressed —
but for the
above article. p.3

5.
Seeing the battery opened
against liberty of the press,
26 wounded — J.B. determined
to try to spike it. p.3.

6
Position designed to
have been maintained as
to libel law —
1. Libel law incompatible
with English libertys.
2. To destroy them requires
nothing but execution.
3. Constitution must be destroyed
or libel defined.
4. Definition not impossible
5. Parliamt alone can work
a cure.
6. Juries may apply a
palliative.
7. In Cobbetts & Johnson's Libel
I could not have sd Guilty
8. By unanimity I would
have forced the others to
say not Guilty.
9. Thus particular relief
might be afforded to his
quotes.
10. — and finally general,
by extorting it from Parlt
as from the unjust Judge.
p.4.
