of this chance that the country press probably stands indebted
for the precarious and scanty measure of liberty
it has hitherto possessed. That Juries have
not in as yet ever afforded any to the publishers
of pretended libels any uniform security is but
too true: now and then they have acquitted;
oftener they have convicted: so that as yet legal security or any
thing like legal security for the most useful and sincerest
labourer in this branch of the service of
his country in this line does not exist in England.
What then is the advantage they afford?
it is this.
