Having obtained the copy, he now gave it verbatim. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Joni 25. The case ex-parte Thompson was further postponed till to-morrow morning. to their verdict, and such damages as would prevent a repetition of such an offence. The libel (a kind of snag). reflecting on the disparity of age tween the plaintiff and his wit., and containing most 'grins allusions, having been reek CoSIYN called Charles Corry, who sta•cd he was. in the year 1825, apprentice to Mr. - Boast. He remem bered the marriage of the plaintiff and his present wife, and received instructions from the defendant to copy the verses in criestion.

The or iginAl was all %%titter by Mr. John Bo(sst, and witness took the copy ef them to the printer's by his direction.: there were tau sets printed, one from the copy in Mr. John Boast's hand-writing, and ore from a copy in the wit-, ness's hand-writing. The second set was printed by order of Mr. John Boast, who desired they might be printed is before. Mt. John Boat did not attend as the •medical attendant on Mr. Leek's family, his'hrother, Mr. D rid Boast did. They cerried on business as partners. Witness saw some of the copies of verses l given away, and one of them stuck tip 09 the gateway to the County -terrace, but did not receive from the de fendant-any actual direction to distribute them to h , s Mends i the copies lay about the shop which was open Ito all cost ,mers. . Cross-examined by Mr. DIMMAN.—I believe Mr. John Boast once took out a tooth for Mr. Lock, and that was the only time he attended him. The plaintiff is an elderly man. His wife is young, but not very young. Mr. Lock has two daughters. Ihe eldest I should think is much about of an age with Mrs. Lock. At the time of the publication of this song, I was paying some at tentions to Miss Mary Lock; the sisters were much ir. • rotated at their father's marriage. -I am still paying attention to that Lady. I left Mr. Boast in November last, in consequence of some dissatisfaction: there had been complaints made of my neglecting their business. Re-eusmined by Mr. SCASLIFIT—I have no doubt that the person alluded so in the verses is Mr. Lock, the plaintiff. John. Burch, a printer, residing in Seven Dials, re members the last witness bringia4 a copy of verses to .be printed; the first set was printed, on the 16th ,of April, and. the manuscript destroyed; the second bet was printsd about the 25th of April. tross•examined by Mr. Nitric—The last witness made an alteration in the second copy; the first was entitled,.:". The Old Man who has four wives;" the se. coal was, by his desire, entitled, " The Old Man's Lamentation." There was a chorus in the original song, Which was 'a lso printed in the second set. There was also an additional verse. • Charles Carry recalled—l have heard what the printer has'said about the additional Term • The poetry of that is by Mr. John Boast, hibtiletated it whilst I wrote it. Croas-exantined by Mr. Cause.••-i don't know who directed the alteration of the title to the second . copy; I received the order from one a the brothers. I don't know which. The Loin Cane Jounce—Mr. Scatlett, you hare not yet prated the statne.of the plaintiff's wife. James Lock—l am son of the plaintiff ;my father married, in the month of April last year, Euphrosyne de St. Genies. I know the Boasts; they have both at tended my father's family; I have known Mr. John Boast attend more than once. Mr. Dzwwww addressed the Jury for the defendant, and stated that it was his duty to put it to them, whe ther this case had been sufficiently established against the defendant, not by the speech of the Learned Coun sel, but by the evidence that had been produced in the -declaration. It was stated that the plaintiff bad been married to-three wives, - and that he was the father of .terns children. The Jury bad heard of two daughters, and had seen one son, and whether that would affect their view of the case was for tl•eir consideration; the plaintiff had also set out that he had married a young lady of great beauty, virtue, and accomplishments, and was at the same time that this libel was published living with her in great happiness; and if.he was, he (the Learned Counsel) could not help thinking he was very wrong to bring, this action, which was the only way to make the alleged libel of importance. The plaintiff had also stated that he had attained the age of 64 years; he (Mr. Denman) could not think he had been very wise in marrying a young lady of such great beauty, and with such a fine French name; but what was there to fix the defendant with the publication of this libel ? They had merely the evidence of an accomplice without corroboration ; the manuscript, that was said to have been in the hand writing of the defendant, was destroyed. The copies might have been by him placed in the de ftndant's shop, and even of that they had no evidence but his own. The very production itself bore the marks of a very young composer, likely toisoast of the powers of youth in comparison with the defects of old age; and when it was by this witness admitted, that be was par ing his court to Miss Mary Lock, it would be evident that as the plaintiff's daughters had a dislike to their father's marriage, it was impossible for Corry to adopt a better mode of making himself agreeable to them than by tendering the object of the plaintiff's choice a sub- ject of ridicule. He was then found quitting the service of the defendant and continuing his friendship with the Locks ; and to render himself acceptable in the eyes of the father, was there any thing he could do more agree able than to discover the author of this libel, and instead of placing himself in that odious situation fix it on Mr. Beast, with whom he had a disagreement, in conse quence of his attention to the plaintiff 's daughter?— Under all these circumstances, he (the Learned Counsel) put it to the Jury whether there was sufficient in the testimony of that witness to carry the whole weight of this cause, and to warrant them in finding a verdict for the plaintiff, who Would have suffered but little by a production which had excited the laughter, not only of the audience, but of his Learned Friend Mr. Scarlett ? The LORD CHIEF JUSTICIt having summed up the evidence, concluded by crating that the single question' fur the consideration of the Jury was. whether they believed the witness Corry had stated the truth ? and this observation be could not help . making, that if he had not told the truth, the defendant might have called his brother, David boast, to have contradicted him. .

Am angst the company we noticed several of the Merchants and Bankers of the Metropolis, Sir Charles Price, Bart. filled the Chair, and was supported on his right by Mr. Ward, and on the left by Charles Barclay, Esq.. M. P. M. Thomas Wilson, the late Member, &c. The cloth having been removed, and the-customary toasts. given from the chair, and drank with the usual honnuri, The CHAIRMAN rose to propose the *health of Mr. Ward. He was satisfied that it was quite . .unnieessary for him to occupy their time by enteritis into the merits of the Gentleman, whom they hail assembled to con graiolate on his return. Yet he felt he might disappoint their expc•atisns, and do injustice o his Hon. Friend, if he neglected to advocate his qualifications. The situa tion of the country, at the period his Hon. Friend sr as called upon, was very pe cu li ar: an d h e must say, that at that time, he coneeifed the situation of the' City of L ndon Was most unfortunate, as they had just be n deprived of the valuable services of his Hon. Viend n his left,'lMr. Thtimas Wilson)—(Cheers). He vraigra . i. fled to observe, that hi s lio n . F l i eil d still continued to receive the applause which his public prirciples and private conduct still entitled him to. They had teen deprived of the valuable services of his Hon.' Foetid, and it then became necessary for the commercial body to support the election of some Gentleman connected with the commercial community, as a mil:Omit for their late esteemed Representative. He was assured they would agree with him in thinking that was matter of congra•ulation. that they had obtaned the consent of Mr. Ward to fill the place which had been vacated by Mr. Wilson.—(Cheers.) Daring the last 20 or 30 years the country had been agitated *by many important politicalquestions, and in some instances Parliament was called upon to suspend the hest and most valuable puin ciples of the Constitution. We were now, by the blessing of Paovi Dawes, enjoying a state of tranquillity,as regal d ed our connection with foreign nations; but it must be remembered th it we wet e running a course of comfner. cial rivalry with many midges of the Continent, and that it required the most extensive ability and the most index fatigable zeal to grapple a ith these commercial questions —Situated as the City of London was, it now sent f our Representatives into Parliament, of which Circe were from the trading classes, and the fourth was his Ho Friend, who was sent from a most important class. and one which it was especially necessary. should have a Suitable Representative—(Cheers). it was necessary' that the Representative ot the mercantile interests of this gieat Metrofols should be able to consult with the Mi nisters of the Crown on all que dons connected with the Commerce of the country, that he should be able to get up in his place, and state his sentiments, on ev ry su'iject of importance to his constituents. He should not en. .r into all the important topics which were likely to be in troduced to Parliament during the next session; but !•er hoped he might be indulged if he adverted, pet haps not discreetly, to one or two which appeared to him to he of paramount importance. His Honourable F. Scud said he would not go into Parliament pledged, and considering the importance of many of the qui Ltiuns upon which he must be called upon to decide, he co n . ceived this caution on the part of hitEloaomiable Friend was 'prudent and bonourable-,.(Hear, hear, hear). Many who did not cordially agree, with the p:ese t assembly on political questions, boas'ed of the Revolu tion of 1688, for which we were ceitainly in !ebted to the Whip; but in his (Sir C. Price's) opinion, the Whigs of 1688 were more like the Tories of the present day, than those who now assumed the name of Whip—. (Applause). In alluding to what was called the Catholic Question, he was one of those entitled Anti-Catholics : but though he could not get a pledge horn his, Hon, Friend to vole against the Catholics, upon other grounds he had given him all the support in his power, though had he (Sir C. Price) been returned, he wo ild have said it was his intention to oppose the Catholic claim. Btu in the Cathollc . Question, lie was sure his Hots; Friend's discretion was the best part of valour—(Applaase). His Hon. Friend's principle was, that he ought not to un dertake the duty of representing them shackled by pledges. The next question in public consideration was the Corn Laws, and considering the close de pendence of one interest with another, he could not, avoid expressing his regret,' that this ques,ion had been pressed in such a way as to excite hostility be.. tween the agricultural and trading interests. He hoped his Hon. Friend would pay his best attention to this subject; and when he entered the House of Commons, he would consider himself the Represen tative of every class of his Majesty's subjects. There were the leading questions of a drimestic nature ; .but there were other most important questions connected with the Nsvigation Laws, and our commercial inter course with other nations. On this subject-he conceived it was most important that changes should be made with great caution, because if other nations found that. we injured ourselves to their benefit, they would never recur to that system of reciprocity which was the basis. of free trade. Nor should it ewer be forgott n, that we , had arrived at an Unparalleled state of prosperity under the old system. He begged not to be understood as admiring the system only because it was old: no, be venerated it because under it; influence we l'ed ,ac quired strength and riches; and, n taithstanding the , 'late convulsions in the City, he might add, we sere the most favoured of nations. On these (widens he con fided with the greatest *satisfaction -on the judgment, penetration, and discretion, of his . Hon. Friend. He was sure his 11311. Friend would not be willtag,to get rid of the old system without first ascertaining that the new was a proper substitute. With respect tas the question of the currency, which had such important. effects upon national intercourse, be conceived that the City of London was peculiarly fortunate iu the selection ; of Mr. Ward, as no man on the Royal Exchange had app li e d his mind more laboriously, and advantageously to that subject than his Hon. Friend. On the whole, he thought it was a high honour to the citizens of London, to have chosen a man so capable of represent ing them admately.

Mr. TRULOVZ, in this case, applied to the Court on behalf of the assignees, to expunge proof of a debt to the amount of 4,2001. made under the commission by Mr. Hawkins. The money, it appears, had been in trusted to the bankrupts for the purpose of effecting annuities with the Duke of Marlborough. The creditor, Hawkins, not satisfied with the disposition of the money made by the bankrupts, had, in 1822, brought an action against them for lathes; which action was compro mised between the parties. It was now contended' that Mr. Hawkins had no claim upon the estate of thebank rupts, his real claim being upon the Duke of Marl borough ; and the whole matter in differenteaiving been settled by the compromise of a suit at law. Mr. DICKNRSTZTiI and Mr. Rout, for the defendant, Hawkins, submitted, that the whole affair of the annui ties was a piece of fraud on the part of the bankrupts, by which their estate under the commission was rendered liable. The annuity deeds were mere waste paper, and the money of the defendant was in reality applied by the bankrupts in part liquidation an debt due to them by the Duke of Marlborough. - At the time that they made these annuities, they must have known that there were judgments against his Grace for 487.0001. The Vice CHANCELL,OIt was of opinion that the proof must be expunged as prayed. In bringing his action for lades, the claimant had made his election of the _. annuity deeds, which he could not now repudiate for the purpose of transferring the debt to the bankrupts' estate. Besides, it did not appear that, at the date of these deeds, the bankrupts were creditors to the Doke of Marlborough to the amount of one shilling. His Honour said, that he would look carefully through the papers, and give final judgment fo•morrow. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Wzreinenza, Jim SS. LOCE V. MOAST. • Mr. COMTE opened the pleadings. This was an action by the plaintiff, a surveyor of the King's warehouses in the Custom-house, residing in Webb's County-terrace, New Kent-road, to recover from the defendant, a sur geon, residing in the same place, a compensation in damages, in consequence of the defendant having writ ten and published a false, malicious, and scandalous libel of and concerning the plaintiff and his wife. Mr. SCARLET? stated the case to the jury. The plain tiff in this case complained of an injury inflicted by the defendant, who had been by him employed in a confi dential situation; and he (Mt. Scarlett) was happy to say such complaints were not of very common occur rence. The defendant was a surgeon and apothecary living within a few doors of the plaintiff; and when the libel wairead, it would require no comment to shew with what feelings it had been put loath by the defend ant. The plaintiff, a Gentleman advanced in life, had married a Lady between twenty and thirty years of age ; but because there might be some disparity in their ages, the jury would not consider that for that reason ' the defendant had a right to exhib:t to the public those - circumstances with a view to make him ridiculous, which he had become acquainted with by visiting at the plaintiff's house, by dining at his table, and by being consulted as his medical adviser. It b a d been said by a great philosopher, that a young man married for a mis tress, a middle-aged man for a.companion, and an old man for a nurse; but iu whatever way a man might connect himself, still a friend, a neighbour, or a person confidentially employed in the way the defendant was, was nut warranted in holding up any person to the con tempt and ridicule of his neighbours. The plaintiff had been married three times; but because he had been so, he (Mr. Scarlett) did not think that was any proof he had been a bad husband, or was likely to be less happy in his fourth choice. Soon after his marriage, anony mous letters had been sent to his wife, and the libel complained of was stuck up in the immediate vicinity of his residence and circulated amongst his neighbours, printed, but without a printer's name, and the defendant was discovered to have been the author of it, in conse quence of a copy of it having been enclosed to a young Lady, a teacher at a school, where the plaintiff's wife, previous to her marriage with the plaintiff had also-been a teacher. From them eit was traced to the printer, to whom the defendant had sant it for publication by his own shop-boy. By the primer it would be proved that a hundred copies of the libel in question bad been struck off; and although it might be of such a descriptionls to excite laughter, still the plaintiff was not less entitled
