Parliament Scornes The Sun And Prosecutes Seditious Libel
A London newspaper column condemns the True Sun libel case against True Sun proprietors for urging resistance to taxes. The piece skewers the Solicitor General, praises Serjeant Talfourd and Mr Kelly, and attacks the Whig government for pressuring law and punishing dissent while defending the House of Commons. It portrays the opposition as contending for liberty amid a charged political climate and laments the treatment of Lord Durham and the Earl Fitzwilliam.
