We had, therefore, flattered ourselves that it would be scarcely pos- sible for the most jealous scrutiny to find a plausible pretext for interference. But it was our singular fate to be sacrificed not for sins actually committed, but from the apprehension of those that we might possibly commit.
We had introduced the practice of reporting law cases, and on this point the Governor and some of his advisers happened to be peculiarly sensitive ; insomuch, that although they had nothing to allege ag...ainst the paper as respects the impartiality and discretion with which such re- ports had been hitherto given, they could not tolerate the continuance of such a privilege. The immediate cause of their interference was this.
There was a prosecution for libel then before the Supreme Court at the instance of the Governor.
In the course of the trial the defendant (one Edwards, a reckless and desperate adventurer) had brought forward certain scandalous and libel- lous charges against the character of Lord Charles Somerset, both in his public and private capacity ; and to prevent the possibility of such charges being reported in the newspaper, the Fiscal* was instructed to assume the censorship.
