Box 26 contains Bentham’s writings on juries. | '''This box has been completed transcribed!''' | ||
Box 26 contains Bentham’s writings on juries. Changes in British libel law in the late eighteenth century gave juries a much bigger role to play in such trials. But the crown was still able to influence the outcome of libel cases by packing juries full of compliant men. Bentham abhored this practice because he felt that stringent libel law undermined press freedom. Bentham included these sentiments in his ''Elements of the Art of Packing as applied to Special Juries'' (printed 1810, published 1820). | |||
