Extract

IT is owing to certain misrepresentations that the following charge is printed: although the Person who delivered it as a Magistrate could have wished to have avoided the submitting to strict perusal words spoke without preparation, on a sudden occasion, when he was requested by the rest of the Bench to attend on account of a prosecution of much consequence. It will however be a very great satisfaction if the publication may serve a general purpose, and keep up for the future in the minds of the inhabitants of this place, the ideas which were meant to be impressed concerning the submission due to the good government of the Laws in general, and the preservation of the most valuable Rights and Privileges to this University in particular.
