Nor in what manner utterd -ther the discourse be directed addressed to any person in particular,
or to uncertain persons at random; as if a

Procedure Choice of six disreputable qualities to be specified in the accusation Where the Defamation a man complains of
consists in - the char imputation of disreputable
qualities not amounting to political offences, let
him have the liberty of fixing in specifying any six of
the qualities contained in the above catalogue, and
the same number so for every imputation in the discourse he complains
of in the discourse in question, and if he can make

make out that the imputation relates to any other
of the disreputable qualities specified in the catalogue,
although it be not comprised one of in the six
[specified for that purpose] proved unless it should
appear [from the complexion of the case as it turns
out on the hearing] that the party accused was
deprived of a just defence he might have made, had
he been apprized that the charge was of such a
nature.
