From the publicity
of the accusation
government desire
such an opportunity of
defending itself in
it would not have
even the accusation
conveyed privately
from hand to hand
While from Though by the liberty thus proposed to be allowed guilt
on the part of the rulersfunctionary has every thing to ( lose and to fear
in has everymuch thing to gain.
1. When a charge is then made public, the functionary
being apprised of it, has in his hands full knowledge
of his the nature of it and of the which in the
supposition of his innocence will be but must conducive to the
rendering itclearing his character of the imputation manifest. Whereas when the possibility
of making the charge public will sly is taken away, men will
be the more industrious in gaining private circulation to it
in which case the in the continual course of things, the
guilt charged will become greater and greater than
the guilt really incurred: a man's character may
then have been destroyed and infamy in various classes
inflicted a line content knowing it and for want of
its having been in his power to defend himself underfrom it. 19
Such private accusations
are more
likely to be exagerrated
than public
ones: being
by the sense of oppression,
and d exempt
from the check of
shame
But there is such a slab of things every anything
that which thus may be Public a functionary can be reded
is commited on own this supposition the
having done his utmost to change the law from bad
state into a better. 20
Under the restriction
in question no harm
that can befall the
reputation of a public
man are to
un, unless he
has done his utmost
to remove it
