On 2 June 1845, the Hong Kong Supreme Court heard a libel case involving Carr, editor of the Friend of China; it was the first such case since the opening of the port, arising from an article he published on 13 July 1844 that was alleged to have damaged the reputation of British Rear-Admiral Cochrane, and after trial Carr was found in his favour.
