Every one must be supposed to be cognizant of a public law. - Edward Law, 1st Baron Ellenborough

There have been errors in the administration of the most enlightened men.

It is a principle of law, that a person intends to do that which is the natural effect of what he does.

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.
