By the record, therefore, be either meant to say, " That which I said of yon is riot libellous and of such a character as to entitle you to bring She action ;" or , if it is a libel, "although it may be ever sofas., nevertheless I was privileged in making the state ment I did make." His lordship would tell them, however, that unless that statement was roads boon tide, honestly, sod without malice, the law would not privilege the defendant in that which he had dove, and the defendant would be liable to compensate the plaintiff in damages ; but the learned counsel would ask the jury whether they did not believe, when the defendant now shrunk from putting •plea of justification on the record, 'inertias the truth of his statement, that that which took place wu the result of se old sore arising out of ti's defendant being opposed some months before ID his efforts to be restored to that congrega tion. Was there any truth in the statement' If the de fendant made it bout fide under an honest belief that it was true, and the law prieil.ged him, why, then the action would not lie against the defendant if it were ever so false. Nevertheless, the learned conned said he proposed to satisfy them it was oot true upon the evideoce of the plaintiff himself, who would be placed in the witness box Led the Attoroey-Cenral, on the part of the de feociant, would have en opportunity of cross-examining him. He propceed to prove, too, by other evidence, that it wail not true, because it would be shown where the plaintiff was on the evening in question. It would be shown that at one put of the time he wee actually preach- ing to • cougregatioo belonging to his owe body ; it would be shown that after that he went away, and was seen by a Mud on his way home. He would be tread to his owe bean, end when he got there it would be shown he stood by the bedside of his dying daughter for about an hour. As be had mid before, the action wee not brought for damages, but for the purpose of clearing the character of the plaintiff, which must be deer to him, sod was moat valuable to hint in every point of view, spiritual and temporal. Eves at that moment the plaintiff was willing to receive any ex : prosaic.° OD the part of the defendant intimatiag that whet bad been said bad been said is a mistake. If eves after the witnesses for the plaintiff were called the defendant would only admit that the person whom be saw, if he saw any perm., could not have been the plaintiff, the Litter was willing at once that the action should drop, and that the jury should be relieved from coming to a verdict ; but it the defendant persisted is his sinertion to the end, the learned counsel said he should have an opportunity of addressing the jury Apia, and he should of course ask file a very different result at their hands. Ebenezer Faller Quant, the plaintiff, was then called and examined—He said he bad resided is Bolton about four =.He was the secretary of the British Temperance the chief elemr of which were in Bolton. His ga lery in that office was 1501. a year. Be was also • Baptist =mister, and before September last be had been in the habit el preaching to conniptions. His remusentioe for that varied—sometimes • sovereign on the Sunday. He did not know exactly what his as:Mop would be from that some., probe* about 101. • year. He measly occasioeally mea nie. He was also a church member of a Baptist moo. The witness then deposed to the receipt of t°h=r from the defendant, the subsequent meetings at the &anal, at one of which the defendant, he said, read a papardelailiag the charges which be lied mode in that letter. saying he saw the plmotiff with • women on the Bury-road about 9 o'clock on the night in question, sad that he (de feadast) afterwards ascertained by personal conversatios with the woenso,that she was a person of loose charecter ; that his friend Steel watched him, and that together they after wards followed the woman and the plaintiff. On the follow in Monday plaintiff was expelled front the congregation is cosemsence of what bad taken Moe. There was so truth whatever in the statement which Buckley bad made in the letter, or of what he stated at the meeting, about plaintiff going with the prostititio. There was not an Ws of Math in it. The witness then explained where he hid been oe the night in quetioe, stating that he had her ooeduotiog a rename service in some almshouse. in Belem which occupied him about as hour ands quarter, and he left there about a quarter past nine o'clock, pro. eliding straight home, where he remained at the bedside of a dying daughter till half-past ten o'clock, wham he west home with another &tighter, who lived in Cheepoide. From th ere he returned straight back to his ewe hones. Cheapside and the almshouses, where be bad bees preach ing, were both in • different direction to the place where the defendant said he saw plaintiff with the woman. Remembered the &deaden' and some others separating from the congregation meeting at Moor-lane Chapel two jean ago. After being away fear or five meths they wished to return, and plaintiff was in favour of all being received back excepting the defendant and soother pence. He expesasd his opposition more then once publicly, and to Bamhlsy peivatelv. At the deacons' meeting, where the matter was inquired hit°, there was a person named Ishii. wood, who was not • deacon. Cromexamined by the Attorney-OoneraL—Os the 16th day of September, the day be received the defenda nt's letter, be received a notice to attend • aseenea' meeting that same eight. It was as follow. :—" To the Rev. E. F. Quaid. Dear Sir,—lt is my painful deity to inform you that • charge has been made to the deacons deeply affect ing your moral character, which is es follows :—That Mr. Quant has been seen at different times, in different photos, by different persons, in the company of fearedee of sametaised immoral character, under circularisation lavolving the gravest suspicion. The deacons deem It of the utmost im portance that this matter be at moo attended to, and therefore meet at the schoolroom to-night at half-past eight o'clock, and request yam attendance," Plaintiff accordingly attended that meeting, sad was there informed of what they had beard. Plaintiff did not ask who had given them the ieforniatioo, became he had Buckley's letter with him. The mama of Trams, Isherwood, and Leech were meatiotted as well as Buckley's. Isherwood also said that he had men plaintiff ou three dif ferent n is speaking to women—amain worm of im proper . The emstruotion he pet upon it was that plaintiff had been speaking to the mom under adz cumitsaas which he thought men. He stated the occa siome—oece in February and term in September. Plaintiff cross-examined Isherwood—Before going to Bo!. toe was at Bacot), in this county, fac six years. Was Wore the magistrates there. That was not sport a charge • indecent ass elt upon a girl.

Upon getting home, however, be was alarmed that the notes amounted to upwards of 1,0001., and be had besa in eon sequenee in very great trouble. ad wished to return the mosey through the plaintiff. Plaintiff ooseeetsd, and re turned the money to the secretary of the society before it bad been • quarter of an boor in his possession. The polies, however, were not satisfied, telling him that if he had been a catholic priest he might have taken the mosey, but being • Baptist minister he had done wren. Plaintiff at- Leaded a public meeting of the menthe' of the society. coo. dating of between 600 and 700 members, and be was asked to pick out the man who had brought the mosey to Idle but he was unable to do so. Had given up the money before be was takes into custody on the charge. There was sow a division is the church at %cup whilst plaintiff was there.

Sarah Annie Qusnt, the daughter of the plaintiff, and Margaret Oldham, deposed that the plaintiff reached his own house at half-past nine or 25 minutes to tee o'clock on the night in question, and did not go out again till about half-past ten o'clock, when he took Mime Quaid to Cheap side. . . This closed the plaintiff's case ; and at this stage a con sultation took place between the learned counsel engaged on either side, after which The Attorney• General said he wee happy to be enabled to state on behalf of his client that it wee but Jost to tar that in making the communication which he did the de feudant acted in perfect good faith. It was his duty, upon I being salted, to disclose that which be did. Ile firmly be- Hewed the story which he told, that he had g a la ab a plain tiff as described upon the evening of the Bth. After the evidence which had been given respecting the Meese:aims `of that night it was perfectly impossible to say that be might not have been mistakes—that he must not bare been mistaken ; and his own good seem therefore led him at once to adopt the advice which Mr. Pope and himself (the Attorney-Gwent) bed given to him, and to Mate that he must have been mistake. as to *mum the plaintiff on the evening in quartets. As to Um other questions pet to the plaintiff respecting a tnumectios at Bump, the Lamed Attorney-General mid le need not say them wee net the slightest evideooe in, the case as to that tramainios. His teamed friend Mr. Temple and himself, therefore, had agreed that a juror should be withdrawn, and that the parties should go away to their ours homes. Mr. Temple said he understood from what hie friend the Attairney.Cleoeral had said that the evidence which had beep given was admitted by the defendant to he a eatiefac , tory and sualcient Ammer to the imputation Wt had been I made spinet the plaintiff. The plaiutiff's object in Wows( the mottos was not to put money into his pocket, but to clear his character sad enable him to be useful is his generation and in his canto,. It was peasesery, therefore, for hiss to bring Wadi= for the purpose of establishing that altime ter, and giving to him the means of usefulness which he had before, and without which, as his lordship keel? he could not have stood as he did. Being, therefore, as h ad already been said, not dmiSoos of potting money into his peeks; or of having any advantage with regard to this action, he had consented, upon what the learned counsel understood to be a full retmctation, that a juror should be withdrawn. His Lordship mid be wan very happy that the cam had come to a termination ; they mast all rejoice that it had. He must say that he thought the evidence which bad been Lid before them was quite insuperable, and showed that the defendant must have been mistaken as to the mime be no doubt thought was the plaintiff upon the night in question. The result, he must gay, to his mind, and be thought to the minds of all those who had heard the one, wag not only that Mr. (pant came out of this transaction without the slightest stain but with his character elevated by the generosity and C hristian spirit in which he had acceded to the terms, not making any money out of it, but seeing his character cleared, wan willing the thing should he at red.
