Excerpt from The Beauties of Erskine: Consisting of Selections From His Prose and Poetry

Speech for Captain Baillie, in the Court of King's Bench, November 24, 1778.

My Lord, - I am likewise of counsel for the author of this supposed libel: and if the matter for consideration had been merely a question of private wrong, in which the interests of society were no farther concerned than in the protection of the innocent, I should have thought myself well justified, after the very able defence made by the learned gentlemen who have spoken before me, in sparing your lordship, already fatigued with the subject, and in leaving my client to the prosecutor's counsel and the judgment of the court.
