Van Vechten v. Hopkins
2 Johns. 293
Opinion
The publication charges the plaintiff with an act of political turpitude! immoral in its nature, and manifesting a want of principle. It is prima facie libellous, and that is enough on the present motion. The cause shown for holding to bail was sufficient, and is therefore one of the cases excepted .out of the general rule, that you cannot hold to bail for a libel. The sum required was not excessive.
Rule refused.
