The defendant published in a newspaper an article reflecting on the conduct of the clergy of Durham in omitting to cause the church bells to be tolled on the occasion of the death of Queen Caroline. The article imputed brutal enmity, hypocrisy, conduct rendering odious till it stinks in the nostrils the name of the clergy of the established church, and officiousness in political matters carried to the extent of losing even the semblance of the character of ministers of religion. 24 pages, printed in double columns. A trial from the Reports of State Trials, New Series, 1889, published in facsimile, 1982. This particular trial report has been removed from a volume of Macdonell & Wallis's State Trials and is now preserved in a modern card cover for practicality - an unassuming but serviceable rebinding that favours function over finery.
