Edward Law, 1st Baron Ellenborough

R. v. Cobbett (1804), 29 How. St. Tr. 49.
Kontext: The law of England is a law of liberty, and, consistently with this liberty, we have not what is called an imprimatur (let it be printed); there is no such preliminary licence necessary. But if a man publish a paper, he is exposed to the penal consequences, as he is in every other act, if it be illegal.

“The greater the truth the greater the libel.”

Bilbie v. Lumley (1802), 2 East, 469.

“I wish that objections to questions as leading, might be a little better considered before they are made. It is necessary, to a certain extent, to lead the mind of the witness to the subject of inquiry. If questions are asked, to which the answer "Yes" or "No" would be conclusive, they would certainly be objectionable, but in general no objections are more frivolous than those which are made to questions as leading ones.”
