The article was, however, promptly voted by the Assem- bly to be a libel, and the attorney-general was instructed to prosecute the editor of the Spectator. This unfortunate man, whose name was Bartemus Ferguson, had not really been responsible for the appearance of the article complained of. It had been published, Vn 36 THE FAMILY COMPACT under Gourlay's name, during Ferguson's absence and without his knowledge. Yet Ferguson was arrested in his bed, in the dead of night, carried to Niagara, and... thence to York, where he had difficulty in finding friends to bail him out ; and in the summer of 1819 he was tried at Niagara and sentenced to pay a fine of £50 and to undergo eighteen months' imprisonment : during the first month of this time he was to stand in the public pillory for one hour a day, and at the end of the eighteen months he was to give and find security for his good behaviour to the amount of jgiooo.
Gourlay was, however, the chief culprit, and it was not intended that he should get off with impunity.
