Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Report of the Trial of Mr. John Murray: In the Court of King´s Bench, at Westminster-Hall, the 19th December, 1829, on an Indictment for a Libel of Messrs. Lecesne and Escoffery, of Jamaica Messrs. Lecesne and Escoffery feel that it is expected by their friends that the following Report of this Trial should be given to the public; for, however humble their situation in life may have become since their banishment, their case has been attended by many circumstances which give to it an interest of no ordinary kind among the numerous class connected with the island of Jamaica. This is not a proper occasion for the prosecutors to enter into the detail of the sufferings which they have endured in consequence of their unjust deportation from Jamaica; but one of their severest sufferings has been to be reproached with crimes as revolting to their own feelings, as they are at variance with the decency of every well-regulated society. The observations of their counsel, the Attorney-General, will shew that even this bitter injury has not provoked them to betray a single vindictive feeling; or to forget for one moment that it was their duty to resort to the protection of an English Court of law, without allowing themselves there to seek the gratification of personal feelings. Perhaps it never occurred before to any Court of Justice to examine libels upon the characters of private individuals so unmeasured in their malignity, and so utterly unfounded in truth; and had not Mr. Murray, with honourable frankness, expressed his regret for their publication, and shewn his sincerity by exerting himself to recall every copy of the work which he could trace among the trade, it would have been the painful duty of the prosecutors to have insisted on the full measure of punishment which such a publication deserves; they rejoice that they have been spared this necessity, and have yet been able to act consistently with the duty they owed to themselves and their families.
