Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Deformity of the Doctrine of Libels: And Informations Ex Officio, With a View of the Case of the Dean of Saint Asaph, and an Enquiry Into the Rights of Jurymen, in a Letter to the Honourable Thomas Erskine
The doctrine Of libels was firf'c prac-s ticed among us in that accurfed court, the Star Chamber, grounded on the prin ciples Of the imperial, or more properly called the flavifh law. Nothing appears of it in our books, beyond the days Of Elizabeth, and Sir Edward Coke; but enough is fince to be found in them, down' to the trial Of the Dean Of St. Afaph, to glut the patience of the mopt moderate reader, and ficken him with the effects.
