1824 Octr 4
Prosecution or Penal Code

See Republican for 1 Oct. 1824 Nº 13 Vol. 10
May 21 1824 Sentence on James Affleck Bookseller in Adams
Edinburgh for "vending seditious and blasphemous
"publications"

Punishment
False cause for mitigation, contrition declared on the
part of the convicted Defendant.

When it is for publication of opinion, no one that
ever sat on a bench of judicature can be so weak as to
suppose that by the fear of the punishment about to be inflicted
any real change of opinion can have been produced.

In no instance in which it has ever been made can
such declaration have been anything better than a
deliberate falshood: a falshood in which the Defendant is
the actor, the Judge who gives this as a reason, who has not ever given this alledged contrition as the cause of his being valid for the remission of the punishment as suborners, is a suborner.

This From instrument this conspiracy against reason and
morality has been universal among all English and all
Scottish Judges: it is tyranny employing corruption – irresistible
corruption for its instrument. It is one of the innumerable
masks by which the inbred corruption of the government
and through the government of the of the profession is so
abundantly and continually manifested.

They are not only themselves liars, but to the utmost
of their power and on every favorable occasion the cause
that lying is in other men.
