Evidence:

‘...the Court Journal (which by the way, seems to be very good – for nothing – )...The Court Journal must pay uncommon well, before I will rank myself among its familiars. It seems to be a mere repository of vulgar tattle and fifth-rate gentility. [Thomas] Hood is seldom to be recognized in its pages. In short, I would as soon have nothing to do with it.’
