   Hampden could not let it go. He wrote to newspapers and distributed pamphlets, telling whoever would listen that Wallace was a liar and swindler.

   So Wallace sued Hampden for libel and was awarded another￡600.

   Hampden transferred all his assets to his son to avoid paying. Wallace them sued him again in 1872, and Hampden was forced to publicly apologize in several newspapers.

   There was a story about it in the New York Times!
