Vaughan
Sir
A variety of paragraphs having appeared
at on various a variety of occasions in the Times, glancing twilled
out reflecting on the gentleman undermentioned, sometimes by
name, at other times a mode of description not to be
mistaken, sometimes even by name, an attempt
was made, in the vain view for the purpose of public justice, to
defend answer but content vindicate the proceeding in question before on the same ground stage at the same tribunal
which exhibited the charge. The answer was,
that the defenceobservations might be very just, but if they
were inserted, five guineas must be paid. If
the same condition had been answered to the reserve had been maintained in regard to
publication of the charge as to that of the attack as in regard to the defence,
the demand would have been less unreasonable, or
rather the resonance of opportunity of making it would never
have existed had existence.
As it is The practice in this instance avowed
to be the custom of the paper.
According to this system plan, a newspaper, instead
of being a vehicle of public comment a useful intelligence, is to be an
instrument of extortion, by means of which individuals
are to be laid under contribution, by
being stigmatized by accusations against which harrassed by groundless imputations to which
they are not to be permitted to defend themselves
without delivering a purse heavier than what it is common for a highwayman to risk his neck for
usually fatal to the highwayman's share, no
Reforms opportunity of exculpation is to be permitted.
