LAW REPORT KING V KILNER AND RELATED MATTERS
The court refused to discharge the Rule to file a criminal information against Kilner for publishing two scandalous libels. Lord Kenyon warned against indulging a long-brooding quarrel and noted the alleged provocation dates back to 1790 with events in 1798. The case contrasts sudden transports of passion with ongoing resentment and suggests consequences for prolonged malice. In a separate matter Griffiths and Magllashan sue True Britons Society members over embezzled funds with the defendant accused of stealing the Trust’s money during stock transfers. The jury found for the plaintiffs with a verdict of £1,000 in damages.
