Hicklin involved one Henry Scott, who resold copies of an anti-Catholic pamphlet entitled "The Confessional Unmasked: shewing the depravity of the Romish priesthood, the iniquity of the Confessional, and the questions put to females in confession." When the pamphlets were ordered destroyed as obscene, Scott appealed the order to the court of Quarter Sessions. Benjamin Hicklin, the official in charge of such orders as Recorder, revoked the order of destruction. Chief Justice Cockburn, on April 29, 1868, reinstated the order of the lower court, holding that Scott's intention was immaterial if the publication was obscene in fact. Justice Cockburn reasoned that the Obscene Publications Act allowed banning of a publication if it had a "tendency ... to deprave and corrupt those whose minds are open to such immoral influences, and into whose hands a publication of this sort may fall."i disagree because he has the right to publish whatever you want ]]> 2018-01-02 19:26:35 UTC https://padlet.com/awade5/98flotbk0hi1/wish/218389116 https://padlet.com/awade5/98flotbk0hi1/wish/218391701  The Petitioner, Sable Communications of California implemented “dial-a-porn” as a business and was charged with violating a federal statute prohibiting obscene telephone messages.  In 1983 the Petitioner started a porn phone line in the Los Angles area.
