Interesting Record: Magee's Weekly Packet;

John Magee, the publication's editor and printer, was sued for libel in 1789 - 1790 by Francis Higgins, resulting in his imprisonment. "By the beginning of 1790 Magee was broken both in fortune and in spirit, and his attacks on Higgins and his friends ceased. Though himself brought to the verge of ruin, he had accomplished his ends. Higgins was removed from the Commission of the Peace in 1793, and afterwards struck off the rolls" (Norgate, John Magee).
