In January 1645 Dillingham and Robert White, the bookseller responsible for the Parliament Scout, were apprehended for defaming the lord-general. This involved an odd reading of the offending newsbook, and it was probably Dillingham's opposition to peace talks that had caused actual offence. Dillingham was soon released and, with White, founded his second newsbook, the pro-army Moderate Intelligencer, which supported the abolition of the monarchy and welcomed the beheading of King Charles I. It received the doubtful tribute of an ironic treatment by John Cleveland : ‘An Intelligencer is a State-spie, he pries into each mans breast, and would faine know all mens crimes but his owne … He is the Countrimans Chronicler, and he sings JO PEANS to his Muse, as to the Rusticke Dieties’..
