Description:Excerpt from Trial for Libel, on the Magistrates of Halifax, the King Vs. Joseph Howe, Before the Chief Justice and a Special Jury: Supreme Court-Hilary TermHowe takes his trial as he would for any other criminal offence. He is put upon his trial as the publisher of a letter which is designated a libel. It may be said by some, why prosecute the publish er? Why endeavour to punish him, instead of the author of the alledged Libel The answer to this may be given by saying, that it is the publica tion which constitutes the offence.In this case it will be shown, that the letter was published, and that Mr. Howe was the instrument of publication. The proprietor of a newspaper is liable for all which appears in that paper. Even if he were ignorant of a matter until it came before the public, still is he held responsible when he undertakes to manage a paper, he is answerable for all that appears in its columns, and he should be so answerable. If in all cases the author should be resorted to, how is the author to be found Or, if an author were given, might it not be in the fol lowing manner - not intimating, however, that Mr. Howe would act in the supposed manner from what I believe to be his spirit, I would conclude that, in any case, he would rather appear himself than give up an author - but suppose thatit was obligatory to proceed against an author rather than a printer, might not the publisher give the name of some person without property. From whom a fine could not be exacted, and to whom confinement in a Prison, would be provision of food and lodging The publisher is the person guilty of the offence between him and the public the question rests. He should be guarded as to what he publishes, and so guarded in doubtful cases as to be able to make amends for any difficulties which may ensue.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
