[2], 45, [1 blank] pp, as issued. Disbound [some roughness along blank inner edge], light rubberstamp on title page. Good+. A second edition issued from Dublin later in 1792. Toler, a Member of Parliament, had apparently spoken ill of Tandy in public debate. An angry Tandy sent his second, Colonel Smith, to Toler's home with Tandy's formal message, charging Toler with introducing "my name into a debate, with observations of contumacy and contempt. Did you, or did you not, mean me a personal offence in the words which you mentioned?" Toler's written response refused to answer the question, on the ground that "the privileges of Parliament" prevented his doing so. Tandy persisted with his messages, leaving little doubt, according to the Crown, that he contemplated a duel. But Tandy's lawyer insisted that no express challenge to a duel had issued; rather, Tandy had merely sought an explanation from Toler. The jury, after hearing the charge from the judge, retired and, in less than two hours, returned its verdict of Not Guilty. FIRST EDITION. ESTC T180722 [8 locations]. OCLC records eleven locations for this first edition as of July 2018. Not in Harv. Law Cat. [see II Harv. Law Cat. 1203 for a different title on the trial] or Marke.
