Mr. John Ambrose Williams who owned the Durham Chronicle published an article in it attacking the conduct of the clergy who set the law in motion against Mr. Williams in the shape of a criminal information for libel. The case came for trial before a special jury at Durham. Mr. Scarlett afterwards Lord Abinger a most consummate advocate conducted the prosecution and Brougham the defense. Brougham made a magnificent speech but it was rather a political manifesto than a wise appeal to a jury at Durham who were not likely to be pleased with torrents of irony addressed to such topics as the revenues and management of their palatinate. The result was that his client was found guilty." Archer. This pamphlet was also issued the same year in London and Edinburgh.
