Indecent Trials – Suppression
Sir
A short time since I observed in your
paper a paragraph of intelligence mentioning an a
plan intention formed by a respectable servant of the
Crown of bringing in a bill next Session for
preventing the publication of the evidence
in trials of for criminal conversation as a
means of opposing a salutary which to that
unhappy propensity to debauchery so characteristic
of the present wicked age.
The vigilance of the Right Hon. Gentleman
demands our warmest acknowledgements, while
the depth of his genius called forth his our
admiration. It is needless to spend time employ words in
displaying the beneficial consequences of so salutary
a plan: they are such as cannot
fail to strike the most superficial eye. But
such is the perversity of mankind, and so
ingenious a vice are the passions in finding out pretences in raising objection
for finding fault with all attempts to curb
it, that even this plan has not altogether
escaped from the propensity to cavil.
