"We must regard all matter as an intrusted……" — Leigh Hunt
"We must regard all matter as an intrusted secret which we believe the person concerned would wish to be considered as such. Nay, further still, we must consider all circumstances as secrets intrusted which would bring scandal upon another if told."
