This man's freedom was attacked by a man writing under the alias Anglo-Americanus who used ametaphor of a "two-edged weapon, capable of cutting both ways". This man closely allied himselfwith the Popular Party and James Alexander. This man's lawyer argued that the jurors "aresupposed to have the best knowledge of the fact that is to be tried". During his trial, the judgedeclared that the jury would be (*) perjured if they found him not guilty. This publisher of the firstarithmetic book in America was represented by Andrew Hamilton, a Pennsylvania attorney who convincedthe jury to carry out an early instance of jury nullification. This man got into trouble for writing editorialsagainst New York colonial governor William Cosby. For 10 points, name this subject of a 1735 libel trial.
