This is a record of the 1822 trial of John Ambrose Williams, proprietor of the Durham Chronicle, for libel against the clergy. The account details the proceedings of the trial held at the Summer Assizes in Durham before Mr. Baron Wood and a special jury. The alleged libel was published in the Durham Chronicle on August 18, 1821. This volume provides a detailed report of the arguments, evidence, and legal interpretations presented during the trial, offering insights into the legal and social climate of early 19th-century England. It is a valuable resource for those interested in the history of libel law, freedom of the press, and the relationship between the press, the clergy, and the government.
