TRIAL OF EDWARD LYON, (OF NORTHUMBERLAND) FOR SUBORNATION OF FALSE SWEARING: IN WHICH JOHN BINNS, WAS ENDORSED AS PROSECUTOR. WITH SOME ACCOUNT OF BINNS, INTERSPERSED WITH EXTRACTS OF LETTERS ... "Edward Lyon, a wealthy farmer, was tried for subornation of perjury in 1804 on the accusation of John Binns, a newspaper editor. Lyon had brought Binns, a Irish republican, to this country and helped him set up a printing press in Pennsylvania. Their friendship ended when Lyon accused Binns of seducing his servant, a young woman whom Binns later married. Binns, in response, accused Lyon of suborning the servant to testifying that he had seduced her. Lyon was acquitted after a jury trial. The publication of 'TRIAL OF EDWARD LYON...' occurs more than ten years later, with a preface by Thomas T. Stiles. Stiles had been attacked by Binns in his newspaper, which led him to investigate Binns' past" - Cohen.
