HEWITT V. GRAY AND OVIERS. This was an action to recover a compensation in damages against the proprietors of " The Old Ori ginal Windsor and Eaton Stage Coach," for an in jury sustained in consequence of the overturning of that coach. Mr. SCARLETT and Mr. COMYs conducted the plaintiff's case, and Mr. MnanyArr and Mr. W. E. TAUNTON the defendant's. The case proved was this: The plaintiff, a widow lady, of moderate fortune, re siding in Windsor Castle, being in London in the mouth of August last, took an inside place in the defendants coach, being accompanied by her man servant on the outside. The coach left the Bolt-in- Tun Inn, Fleet -street, about three o'clock in.the af ternoon, on the lfith August. It was laden very heavily on the outside : there were sixteen outside passengers, (including the coachman), and six inside. The plaintiff's servant sat on the top of the luggage, which was uncommonly high. When the coach ar rived near Cranford-bridge, on its road to Eaton, the new Opposition Coach appeared in sight, at about a hundred yards distance. The defendants' coachman, with a view to pass the latter coach, drove to the right-hand side of the road, in the centre of which was some gravel. fle was driving at a moderate pace, but the coach being out of its equilibrium, was overturned ; and in consequence of the accident, the plaintiffs right wrist was broken, her elbow dislo cated, her forehead cut to the bone, and she received several other severe injuries. She was afterwards put under the care of Mr. John M'Queen, of Eaton, who attended her for several months. She also had the advice of Sir David Dun•las, and was subsequently iiged to come to London for the advice. of Mr. Chile, and took lodgings for that purpose. She was represented to be now far from well, and had, for some purposes, completely lost the use of her right arm. The expense she was put to was stated to be upwards of £2OO. Mr. M.tanyarr addressed the Jury on behalf of the defendants, in mitigation of damages, attributing the misfortune to mere accident, and not to any neg ligence imputable to the defendants' coachman. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said, that the defen dants were clearly liable, upon the bare statement' that the coach had been oderladen with luggage and', passengers to a greater amount than the law autho-1 rised. The law allowed only twelve outside passen gers, and expressly forbade any person sitting on the top of the luggage. If the accident arose from these causes, the plaintiff was entitled to damages. She appeared to have incurred a very considerable pecu niary expense for medical assistance; but in addition to the amount of that, she was entitled to something for her personal sufferings, and the permanent in jury she seemed likely to have sustained.--The Jury found for the Plaintiff—Damages £3OO. MORRIS V. MACKINNON, M.D. This was an action for slander. Mr. lifectrast opened the pleadings. The declaration state', that the plaintiff being employed in the business of an apothecary and accoucheur, and having for many years borne the character of a person well skilled and qualified for such business, and having carried on the same with great profit and advantage, the defen dant contriving, and intending to injure him, had wilfully, maliciously, and without any probable cause, uttered the following slanderous words of and con cerning the attendance of the plaintiff on the child of a Mrs. Bolter, namely—" Your baby has been de stroyed by calomel : the pallet of the mouth, the bones of the head, and the root of the tongue, have been entirely destroyed by mercury," &c. by reason' of which slander the plaintiff was greatly. injured in his profession, his former patients having ceased to, employ him. The defendant pleaded the general issue—not guilty. The damages were laid at E.. 5000. Mr. Sc A R L ET r stated the plaintiff's case, and pointed out to the Jury the nature of the serious injury ofl which his client had to complain. Preservation of' character was of the highest importance to every pro fessional man, but more particularly to a medical man, whose existence depended solely on the good opinion entertained of him by society. The plaintiff had to complain of the most serious injury that could befall a man in his station of life—namely, the total destruction of his professional character, by the slan der uttered by the defendant. Mr. Morris, the plain tiff, who resided in Chandos•street, Covent Garden, had for many years carried on the business of an apo thecary and man-midwife, with great reptitaticn himself and advantage to the Public. He had had a numerous connection, and was considered a man of griat respectability. The defendant, who resided in the Adelphi, was a gentleman of the same profes sion, though in a different branch, and was a man likewise of character and respectability—he was a doctor of medicine. It happened that the plaintiff had been called in to attend the family of a tradesman some of whose children were in a state of ill-health.— One of them had died, and another being in a dying state, Dr. Mackinnon was desired by the parent to give his advice; which he did, but on that occasion he used language with respect to the plaintiff, which reflected in au unbecoming manner upon his profes sional skill, and was calculated to dolim irreparable injury. The case, however, of the plaintiff rested alre particularly upon the slander uttered by the de fendant concerning him, to Mrs. Bolter, the person named in the declaration. About the same time that the plantiff attended the family of Mr. Defoe, he was called in to minister to the sick child of Mrs. Bolter. The child had been afflicted with the measles, and becoming dangerously ill, the plaintiff was sent for; -and he gave it such medicines as in his judgment seemed best adapted to remove the disorder. 'the child, however, got worse, and the mother having procured a ticket to the Western Dispensary, to which the defendant was Physician, the latter attended the infant; and upon inquiring who had previously pre pribed for the child, and what medicines it had re zeived ? he was informed that the plaintiff had at ended, and had prescribed powders, some of which .s'ere shewn to the defendant ; upon which he uttered Ughly offensive language concerning the plaintiff, cud said that the medicine given was poison. On a ,übsegent occasion, when the child died, ho uttered .he words stated in the declaration. Such was the :mature of the slander of which the plaintiff had to complain--slander which was destructive not only to its reputation, but blighted ail nis future hopes of existence. If the case was made out in evidence, no damages that the Jury could give would more than compensate the plaintiff for so serious an injury. James Defoe, a master carpenter residing in Mtn gerford-market, stated, that in June, 1817, Mr. Mor ris attended a sick child of his. The child died ; and another of his children being affected with the same' disease immediately after, he sent for Dr. Mackinnon, for his advice. As soon as the hitter had seen the i j child, he said he w i s hed witne s s had sent for hi m sooner, but assigned no reason then for the observa tion. Afterwards, when the second child died, he said, that if he had been sent for in the first instance he would have saved both the children, or he would have forfeited his existence; but Mr. Morris knew no more of the inside of a man than he did.of the inside of the moon. The defendant had attended the second child two days before it died, and in that interval had seen it six or seven times. Witness had known Mr. Nlorris 16 or 17 years, and had employed him before. He had previously lost two other children, under the care of the latter. He had lost a fifth child under the care oF Dr. Mackinnon himself, but it was not afflicted, with the same disease as the others. Wit ness had ceased to employ the plaintiff in his family, not solely in consequence of what the defendant had said, but also on account of having lost fuur children under the care of the former. William Sidney Jones, shopman to the plaintiff, temembered making up • some medicines for Mrs. Bolter's child, which the plaintiff had attended. After the child died, he remembered a conversation between the plaintiff and the defendant, the subject of which was a Coroner's Inquest, which was about to be held on the body of the child. In that conversation the defendant offered to write a letter to the Coroner, assuring him that there was not the slightest ground of imputation upon Mr. Moiris's medical skill; and that the medicines given to the child‘were proper for its disease. Such a letter was afterwards sent by the Beadle of the Parish to the Coroner. In fact, the plaintiff had told the witness that the defendant had attended the Inquest, and had assured them that there was not the slightest bound for impeaching the plain tiff's practice. The witness was then asked whether the plaintiff's practice had not been very considerable ? This ques- tion was put, with a view to chew the general injury which the plaintiff must sustain from the slander of the defendant; but the Counsel for the latter objected to the question, contending, on the authority of a note in the first volume of Mr. Serjeant Williams's edition of Saunders's Report, p. 'AI, that no evidence could be given of any damage, unless it be specially stated in the declaration. As, in an action by a victualler for calling his wife a w —e, by which it was averred several persons had left his house; this was not stating the special damage. The LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE agreed, that this was the general rule, and it was founded on reason; for the special damage ought to be stated in the declara tion, in order that the defendant might have an op portunity of meeting it. It was not competent, there fore, to adduce evidence of general damage, while the declaration mentioned the names of only two in dividuals who had left the plaintiff. Elizabeth Bolter stated, that her husband was a barge-builder, residing at Hungerford-stairs. In July last, Mr. Morris attended her in her lying-in, and she was perfectly satisfied with his conduct. In the month of December following, she had a child, taken 01 of the measles; no medical person then attended, bbit shortly afterwards, the child having a sore throat and mouth, she sent for Mr. Morris, who attended it from the 6th to the 12th of December. She had some powders of him ; the child got worse and worse, and she requested him to attend every day. He told her, however, that there was no danger; but not be ing satisfied with him, she made interest to get a let ter to the Dispensary, and in consequence of that, Dr. Mackinnon came. He came up stairs, swearing at the darkness of the staircase. When he got to the bed-side, he shewed the child his watch, in order to ascertain whether it could see. He then took some barley-water in a spoon, and gave it to the child. He then asked who attended the child ? and witness told him it was Dr. Morris. The defen dant asked, whether it was Dr. Morris of Parliament street? She replied, " No; it was Doctor Morris of Chandos-street." Upon which he said, " Doctor he d—d! he is only an Apothecary." Witness then shewed him some of the powders the child had been taking ; and the defendant said, it was all poison, and that her child was entirely destroyed with calomel. Witness asked him what calomel was? and he said, it was mercury, and that mercury had destroyed her child—that it had destroyed the bones of the head, the palate, and the root of the tongue; and that he could have saved the child if he had been sent for sooner. lie added—" Go where I will, it is the ge neral cry; he," meaning the plaintiff, " serves their children all alike. He has murdered your child."— The child died nest day about one o'clock, and when the defendant called, be looked at it, and taking hold of one of its hands, said—" It is a beautiful child—l never saw a finer child in my life. D—n his blood! he," the plaintiff, " has wilfully murdered it with mercury.' He told her, that if Mr. Morris sent in his bill she was not to pay it ; for he had be ..at speak ing to some of the faculty, and was ready to come forward and make oath before a Court and Jury that lier child had been murdered. He said he would see her righted, and desired that he should have the plaintiffs bill when it was delivered, adding, that he would attend her or her husband at any hour of the day or night, or any of her family, if he was sent foe. Her nurse was present at one of these conversations, her husband at another, and a fellow-lodger at a third. Witness not being satisfied, desired a Coro ner's Inquest to• be held on the body of her child, and demanded justice. She had told several people that Dr. Mackinnon had said her child was murdered. The day the - Coroner's Inquest was to be held, the defen dant sent for her down stairs. He said he would not come in, because there should be no one present but themselves. He said—" What are you going to do at the Globe? (the public-house where the Coroner' was to sit)—What is all. this work about?" Witness said it was about what he had told her, namely, that per child had been murdered. Ile rejoined, "it will do you no good; the child is dead, and cannot be re stated. This is what I get by attending poor peo ple's children." 'Witness had never employed the plaintiff since. Hannah Law, a fellow-lodger of the last tlary Ann Robinson, her nurse; and Richard . . her husband; who had been present et difrorent parts of these conversations, corroborated her statement ire every particular. Mr. lionoratus G. Thomas, a gurgeon, formerly in partnership with Mr. Cruickshanks, was called to prove that he had examined the child alter its de cease, and that its death was produced by a different cause from that assigned by the defendant; but— The Learned Judge said, there was no occasion to i it rece've such evidence. Th e p l a i nt iff' e ll er „ed, that the ‘rds were falsely s p o k en , an d t h e d e f en d ant b y his p a did not say that they were true. The case of the plaintiff being closed, Mr. GURNFX (with whom was Mr. DF.NMAN) ad dressed the Jury on behalf of the defendant. fie admitted, with his Learned Friend, Mr. Scarlett, that nothing was of more importan c e to a pro f ess i ona l man than character. On the part of his client, he was not instructed to suggest any thing that could in the slightest degree detract from the plaintiff's character. Both the plaintiff and defendant were re spectable men in their stations in life. The Jury could not fail to observe, it was not pretended that on any occasion the defendant and plaintiff had had any quarrel or misunderstanding. Nothing of that kind was suggested. It was impossible, therefore, to impure any malicious motive to the defendant: nei ther was it possible to ascribe any mercenary motives ' to his conduct, because both gentlemen were engaged in totally distinct branches of their profession; and. besides, as the defendant had attended from the Dis pensary, he 'had not received any fees. The defen dant had instructed him to declafe that his words had been misunderstood and misrepresented; and the strongest proof of the truth of his statement Was the promptitude with which he stated to . the Coroner's Jury that there really was no blame imputable to Mr. Morris. There was no proof that the plaintiff had sustained any dam age in consequence of the slander ; for there was no per .on whb had ceased to employ him, except Mr. Defoe and Mr. Bolter; and according to the evidence of the former, he had not ceased to employ him solely in consequence of what the defendant had said. Considering, therefore, all the circumstances of the case, the smallest damages would be more than a full compensation for any in. jury which the plaintiff might have sustained. The Jury, under the Learned Judge's direction, who cautioned them against any feeling incompatible with discretion and moderation, found their verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, Pire Hundred Pounds.
