The Freeman's Journal republishes a letter to the editor originally printed in 1856. The letter concerns the closure of Paddy Kelly's Budget when the type and materials belonging to the proprietor, Henry Evers, were seized by police.
The relevance of that event in 1868 is that the 1856 police action was instigated by James Martin (acting on behalf of an aggrieved client); the same James Martin was taking action against the Freeman's at the time of republication.
