1.411, IhTBLLIGZACE. MVO's BENCH. GUILDHALL, APRIL 24. THE KI.:0 e. MACLEOO.—This was an india- I vain tbr a libel againit the late Earl of Clare, which appeared in The Albion N.wfpaper, of hich the defendant was' printer and publither. The label was of great length, and contained, among Many other expreftions, refkaing on the eintraaer of that Nobleman the following : Your heart never overftowed with beneficence, your Lead never conceived any counfel but what was erne! and unjuft, and your mouth was never open ed but to utler national inveaive : you fay the people are vindittlive and ferocious; that you exit is a fuAicient proof to the contrary. You were pelted once with ftones; you fay you were in danger a fecond time—kwme of the thin!. Buck ingham had three warnings before he fell by the dagger of Felton. Perhaps public hatred is not the only point on which you agree." Mr. Scoyr, in a very learned fpeeeh, defended the letter containing thofe paragraphs, as a true and hiftorical account of tranfaatons which really harpcned in Ireland ; and which any man had a right to publith, with fuch obfervations as would natut ally prefent themfelves. In order to eftab lint the truth of it, the Earl of Camden was called; but as he had no other means of knowledge than is a Privy Counfellor, it was determined by the Court, that he could not be interrogated. Mr. *Lam; addreffed himfelf to the Jury with Pune force. He confeffed that this account was not altogether a faithful hiftory, but had tome of the colouring of compofition in it. The Arroausy-Gzezzat, in reply, faid, he Mould only, alk a verdia for the calm*, and leave the defendant the benefit of hishiftory. The expreflions above Rated, were neither the language of a hiftorian nor the language of truth) their ten dency was obvious. After fome obfervations from the Learned judge the Jury brought their verdia—Guilty. Mr. M'Leod was again tried for a libel in the in which he Rated that the As of Parlia ment paired for the purpofe of authorizing Martial Lai/ to Ireland, violated the original eontraa be-, tweezi the Government and the people, and juftified Vic Irifh in baking off their dependance on Great Britain. Mr.Scoir. addreffed the jury for the defendant, and attempted to thew, that every part of the fop pofed libel, abftraftedly confidered, contained pro pofitions not only confonant to the iwinciples of the laws and conftitution of the country, but the contrary of which it would be criminal to alTert. He (hewed, from the opinions of the celebrated patriots, who effeaed the great work of the revo lution in i6BB, that a fyllim of Martial Law is bonne to the Conftitution, and he fortified his fen. timents by the doarines laid down by the gre aten ancient and modern lawyers. He cont ended that the obfervations in the libel were general, and did sot apply particularly to Ireland. The ATTORNEY Gets UAL replied, that the libel did not contain abitraa theoretical opinions, but was a dime addrefs to the people of Ireland to avail themfelves of the firs opportunity of 'baking off their dependency upon the espvernment, which bad ieforted to the temporary expedient of mar tial law to fupprefs one of the moR dangerous re bellions that ever exilled. The Judge entertained no doubt as to the libel ous tendency of the publication. He regretted that the talents of the Defendant, which might have been fo eminently beneficial to the public, Ibould have taken fuch a wrong bias ; he hoped be would fee his errors, and atone for them by adopting a different line of conduit in future.— The Jury pronounced the Defendant Guilty. APRIL 26...•-iVATERS V. COLLIER. This was an aaion on a policy of inforance on a bottomry bond. The chip Britannia failed from London for Lifbon on the lath September, 1798, with a cargo of corn. On the 16th the met with a heavy gale, and was obliged to put into Ramf. gate to refit. The repairs amounted to a coati derable turn, which Mien, the Captain, was un able to difcharge. The Plaintiff, however, ad vanced it to him, he having firft hypothecated the !hip's bottom. The Britannia again failed, and joined convoy at Portfmouth, but the day' after was driven on {bore on the We of Wight, and fo mush damaged that the was covered with water every tide. The original voyage bad been in- Inject, and the owners abandoned. The condi tion on which the bond was payable having thus faikd, the Plaintiff brought his action againft the undenvriters. The depofitions of feveral {hip. wrights were read, who (wore that the Op was fo much damaged as not to be worth rerinng. Mr. ADAM, their Counfel, retied their defence upon two grounds : t. That the bottomry bond was involved ; and, 1. That at any rate the (hip had not been utterly loft, and that the Plaintiff might thus either have attached the !hip, or the perfon of the Captain. It i s Only in a foreign country, lw Grid, that the mailer of a (hip has a right to hypothecate her for repairs. In Great Britain the owners, as well as the Captain, are liable. The bond was this nothing more than the perfonal-Qcurity of Mien, and the Plaintiff had not an hirable intereft. But he fhnuld prove that the {hip was at this moment upon the high f ea ii; loaded with a valuable cargo. The under. writers - had fold her for 9001. to a Gentleman, who fhAmed her and made her again lea worthy for the (mall ruin of :6,1. .He did not pretend that the (hip (hoold be annihilated, but there could be no doubt that the meaning of the parties was, that the bond fitonld be in force, unlefs the (hip , was fo much injured as to be difabled from earning the freight for . the future. From the depofitions read, it appeared that the Britannia attually was again fitted for fea at a Yiiiall erpence, and is now oa her way to Cork, load e d with tea. Eisen's, Counfel for the Plaintiff, dill con that his client was entitled to recover. He was of no importance whether the hypo ion of the fbip was valid or invalid ; the iff was nevenhelefs interefted ; for he had Morga) condition of the Thies arrival. The (hip having in the conftrunion he rot upon the cafe when the been got afloat fo eafily was merely owing to parties had a difpute, then the verdia would chance, and ought to have no influence of tr the the plaintiffs. minds of the Jury.
