TO
HENRY COOPER, ESQ.,
BARRISTER AT LAW;
For the noble stand and more noble attitude which he took on this
trial--for the very eloquent, very bold, and very honest style of his
defence--and, above all, for the manly resistance which he made to, and
the contempt which he showed for, the menacing frowns of those persons
who conducted, advocated, and supported this prosecution: and to those
HONEST JURYMEN who resisted their fellows in the attempt to throw the
defendant into the hands of her enemies, and the enemies of their
country; and who, by their honesty and independence, have given a death
blow to those corrupt, wicked, and malignant _would-be_-censors of the
Press, calling themselves a Constitutional Association; this report of
the proceedings is gratefully dedicated by, and the sincere and heartfelt
thanks is hereby offered to them, of
MARY-ANNE and RICHARD CARLILE.
REPORT,
&c., &c.
This was an indictment at the prosecution of "The Constitutional
Association," and their first attempt to obtain a verdict. The defendant
pleaded Not Guilty.
