This article, originally published in the Yass Courier, provides a detailed account of James Martin's prosecution of the proprietors of the Freeman's Journal. It asserts the view that 'the prosecution as it now stands has all the appearance of having been commenced because the paper has been a stern opponent of the present Administration, and has commented freely and unfavorably on the acts of every singe member of the Government ... It shall certainly not enhance the reputation of the Cabinet either individually or collectively, and we venture to predict that many days shall not pass ere a journal still more bitterly opposed to the existing Government shall spring from the ashes of this victim to legal tyranny and Ministerial ill-will'.
