The article presents a range of documents on the confiscations of the first Slovene satirical bulletin Brencelj (The Horsefly, 1869-1875,1877-1886) and the jury trials of the proceedings brought against its editor Jakob Alešovec (1842-1901). At the end of 1871 Alešovec was sentenced to two months of imprisonment in the Žabjek Remand Prison in Ljubljana. In memory of the sentence he served, Alešovec published the booklet Barley Gruel from Žabjek in 1873. In his satirical texts and caricatures, Alešovec often made comments on public prosecutors, police censorship and the various bans put on the Brencelj.
