Ann Paxton Gee v William Pritchard And William Anderson: 17 Jul 1818

The Lord Chancellor repudiated an argument that the publication of letters should be restrained, because their publication would be painful to the feelings of the Plaintiff; and said, ‘The question will be, whether the bill has stated facts of which the Court can take notice, as a case of civil property, which it is bound to protect.’
