"To the second chamber of the Gr.-Hess. Stand Assembly. Most obedient notification and custody of the Gr. Rectors Dr. Weidig in Butzbach." Severally corrected concept of a defense against the charges raised against him by the Grand Ducal Court Court of Giessen. "As the general rumor claims, which despite the secret proceedings of our judicial authorities is confirmed by externally recognizable signs, recently finds a certain influence on the courts of ==References====External links== Court Court in Giesen [!] held by a federal commission gathered in Frankfurt. The extent to which this external influence affects the jurisdiction of our country cannot be determined by the individual citizen, only the assembled estates. Indicted politically by the Ministry of State for the protection of independent, fatherland jurisdiction, I am entitled and obliged to do so, I turn to this Assembly with confidence and show it respectful of what can be regarded as a certain fact if stated above ...". Now signify the unlawful measures taken to arrest him by extrajudicial orders, and hope for help through his public appeal to the State Assembly. "... If we now consider, for how some politically accused the duration and severity of imprisonment resulted in the next death or a health broken for life, and therefore that precisely here the moral independence of the courts is urgent, then I cannot doubt that this highly considerable assembly about the kind of possible influence of that federal commission on the ==References====External links== State-Ministerium will demand explanation and secure the rights of the citizens of the Grand Duchy against any possible violation. - Is nevertheless an intervention in the self-reliance of the judiciary, and would it also be insignificant, that which the moral and patriotic nobility of a people - and this precedes in the Hessian electoral chamber - most decisively rejects ...". - With a Number of deletions and corrections by another hand. - Highly important and again very current document of a famous champion and martyr of the foremar, who intrepidly demands the political independence of the judiciary. Weidig's efforts were known to be unsuccessful. The following year he took part in Georg Büchner's "Hessisches Landboten", was arrested again and died after maltreatment probably by suicide in the Darmstadt Arresthaus. - Of greatest rarity; in the yearbook of auction prices since 1950 no manuscript of Friedrich Weidig can be found.
