Liberal press defies Baron Parke in clergyman case
A lengthy discussion argues that the parson’s conduct in his parish is a public matter and within journalistic scrutiny. It condemns Baron Parke’s dictum that clergy are shielded from press comment, urging support for Miall and broader freedoms against state church power. It notes fund-raising to defend the Nonconformist editor and warns of chilling effects on press liberty and civil rights.
