The writer for the Colonist expresses their thanks to a subscriber for 'informing us that the notorious Watt holds his levees in His Majesty's Jail, and occasionally writes in Mrs. Howe's blackguard paper, under the signature of a Presbyterian Divine'.
The writer goes on to reiterate Watt's alleged crimes and claims credit for the discovery of these. Watt's 'species of criminality', the Colonist claims, would 'destroy all confidence in society' and the public 'are certainly indebted for the denouement to our articles on the Press'.
