Junius on taxation and press warrants in the General Evening Post
The writer presents three points where Junius’s view is misrepresented. He argues taxation of colonies is a plain prerogative of Parliament, defends liberty against press warrants as excessive, and critiques Doge laws and game laws. He calls for balanced debate and cautions against exaggerated claims of necessity while condemning abuse.

Intercession of Three Countrymen Lets Bail Skate Scot Refused
Junius accuses Lord Chief Justice Mansfield of abusing power by bailing a suspected thief whom the London Lord Mayor refused to bail. He argues the thief was caught with stolen goods and had no defence, asserting the man was legally bail-able and demanding explanation for the bail. He pledges to prove the charge publicly in due time.
