Sittings after 3liehaelmas Term before Lord TIMMADEN and . Commoo . Juries. EUSTACE V. CONWAY. This was at action brought by .the plaintiff to recover cnnipensation in damages for Worsts spoken try the defendant, imputing to him wilful and corrupt perjury. The defendant p!eaded the general issue, and also a it istification. Mr. F. Powcx, with whom was Mr. BASTOW, stated the plaintiff's case, from which it appeared that previviii to the month of MarXh last, and for some time subequently, an action had been depending be taeen the assignees of a bankrupt against a person named Steele. In this action the defendart appeared' to justify bail ; t!-:e persons to be his sureties were a Mr. Moire and the defendant in the present action (Mr. Conway) When Mr. Conway appeared at the Chambers of di,: Lord Chief Justice, it was alleged in opposition to him as,bail, that he had very recently been a bank rupt, and an affidavit was put in of the present plaintiff (who is a clerk to the solicitor cpposed to Steele) which stated that the plaintiff (Eustace) went to a house, No. 7, Wine Office Court, which Conway gave as his address, and found that though he was in possession of those premises, they contained no furniture, and that in point of fact he did not live there, but at Holloway, where he occupied ftirnished apartments. The had on behalf of Steele attended twice at his l o ortiship'sfon the 14th and lith of March). On the latter occasion, when Conway learned the substance of Eustace'saffichreit, he, addressing him, said,A , Hew dare you swear that 1 hat no furniture in my house - it Wine - Office Cogit? Yoe have been guilty of vile and corrupt perjury--it is AR, infamous lie,' and I can prove it to' be such by fifty' .witne.ses." This visa the-language the plaintiff' ecins' plain.; of, and for the irjitty arising to him from which he so?glit compensation at the hinds of an impartial Jury. llis el ent (the Lear ned Counsel - sent on to say) was a young man just er:teting upon life, to whom , character was of the hieest importance,. and in his situation of an attorney's c:erk, it must be perfectly shvious, .that npthing could prow more injurious than such an imputation as had teen cast upon him by the defendant. The first ts• 'mess call d was Edmund Hynde—l ant the brother of Charted - I y nde, the plaintiff's attorney ; I know the plaintiff; this is his handwriting; he signed these ailiJavits. 1 remember 'be cause against Steele being in my brother's office.--, I was in his Lordship's chambers iu March last, relating to this cause; Conway and Eustace were both them An affidavit was on that occasion sworn ; it is dated the 14th. The affidavit was read in Con v ay's preseate. The affidavit stated that there was no furniture in the house, N 0.7, Wine•cffice-court, and that the people in the neighbour hood did not know Mr. Conway as a resident. , . . Examinaticn of Mr. Ilynde resumed—l did not hear Conway say any thing on the first day *elating% the bail. The justification was postponed till Saturday, 17. h March; on that day both Eustace and Cnnway were there ; they vete in the outer chamber; t,everal persons were present. 'lle witness then stated the slan derous words already set forth. This was in the hearing of every person in the chamber. Mr. Conway was re jected as bail. A let er was sent on the same day to Mr. Conway, calling on him to make an apology. Cross examined—Mr. Downes, to whom Mr. Con. way gave a trefeience, told me Mr. Conway might safely be looked to as bail in that action. He told me Conway was in the habit of taking houses nut cf repair, and let ting them at increased rents. I did not hear Etistace say that Conway ant Steele: were in the habit of getting up sham commissions of bankrupt. I did 110 - heat Ittidace say any thing to provoke the language used by Cuna ay: - . . 'Re examined...lt was after the Brat affichlyik. was ..._ read that Conway referred Eustace to Downes for his character. • The bail-piece was then put in and read, to ahem the gamine sued for in' the actit.n, 181. . Thomas J. Richards—l am a watchmaker. in Shore ditch. I went with Eustace to No. 7. Wiae-effice•court. on the ISth of March. I went over that house iiith him. I did not find any one tesiding elves there were workmen, but no residents; there was not any lutnitnre in the house. I saw Conway, who stated that.he hied at Hidloway, but had i.iven his addre.S there, his dwel ling In.u,e being solar off. He - meutioned that he had a hr:we in Watling-street. ' • . Cr ess-ex imined.There were ten rooms in the house in Wire-office-court; I'went into all, the rooms, from the parlour upward-. • Air. DICNMAN, with whom v as Mr. EVANS, appeared for the defendant. He conceived that enough had been laid before the Jury to shrew that sufficient proaocatinn had been given to extenuate , it cot fully to justify, the language he had used; but when, added to that. they should bear the evidence which he was instructed could be produced, he confidently anticipated a verdict for the defendant. It w' old appear, he had no clintst, that, not only was the affidavit sworn to by Eustace utterly without foundation in fact, but, that, in reference tots he had used such language as was calculated to . :excite angry feelings in the heart of the delendaet. Such, .or instance, as charging him and Steels with getting up sham commissions of bankruptcy. The fast was, that the squabble took place in the outer room, at his Lord,hips s Chambers. The parties, might become quiet enough a hen they got into the imusediate•pv:sence of the Judge, but a hik in the outer apartment, it was well known that consunt.disputes were going tortsard between parties, and it was extremely probable that the words imputed to his client had been dropped in the heat of contention amongst five hundred other quarrels., br d TENTERDEN— Not quite 60 marry, Mt. Common Sergeant. ' Mr. DICNIdAN—At least they were uttered amidst much heat and altercation. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to say, thatbefore the cause came to an end the Jury would see that at least the affidas it was utterly false—that it was one made, too, by an attorney's clerk, acing professionally, and nothing could be of greater importance than that such . Gentlerhen shoUlti. be made ; to speak the truth, for the into cos of . half 'mankind air. in their !ranch. It could not have escaped the attention: of the Jury, that though Richards, the watchmaker, accompanied.E.lstace through the house in Wine Office court, yet he was not called upon to make any affidavit relative to,;4l),ence of furniture,thaugh quite in as good 1 sktuatica fletbat purpose as any man could be. Tt.e evidence Vi bic h. heibou 1 . 4 lay before them to prove the 'falsehood of Mr. Eustace's stateurent•would be perfectly 'simple. He would show, from Mrs. Conway's medical cb- ttendant, that-at the time is question she was confined y illness in 'tyre back, parlour of the house sa inspected y kichards.and Eustace; that there was furniture in I her -room and in other apartment , .

Probate of this instrument was opposed by Messrs. T. and 11l Roby, on the grougd that-the deceased was t f uhsoundmind. 'The learned Judge went through the evidence NI forne length, and was of opinion that the instrument contained the sane test i anientaiy intention i i the deceased.
