Edward Vernon Sparhawk, a printer and editor, faced arrest warrants due to his involvement with the Canadian Times, a newspaper that published content offensive to the House of Assembly. On February 3, 1823, the Speaker of the House issued warrants for the arrests of Sparhawk and Bowman, another individual associated with the publication. The Canadian Times was banned shortly after the arrest warrant was issued for Duvernay, who was connected to Sparhawk. Sparhawk's case is also mentioned in various historical documents and sources, such as "Nation-Making in Early Canadian Literature, 1789-1870" and "Maine Reports," further illustrating the significance of his role in early Canadian literature and the political landscape of the time.
