Processes of “Pielgrzym” press editors in the years 1869–1914

(Summary)

Editors of “Pielgrzym”, published in Pelplin since 1869, similarly to editors of otherPolish periodicals in the West Prussia, did not manage to avoid release processesbrought to editors responsible for off ences against the Penal Code of the country.Nine out of fourteen responsible editors had release processes brought againstthem. As many as 45 times the articles published in “Pielgrzym“ were taken to theStarogard court. As a result, until 1914 the editors were imposed a fine of 12455 marks and sentenced to prison for one year, three months and one week. However, after appeals these rulings were reduced to 6925 marks, one year and one weekof imprisonment.
