• ~~ logzreseined to Government; be would My . , 46 1 regret it, they will have the wisdom and honesty to keep it from the public eye until they have beard both sides, sad then they aid, I hope, proceed as Government ought ; and if they find their suspicious well founded, inspect the Clown officers to proceed upon them:" but ' if told that it had unwarily been printcd.by any branch of the legislature, he would say, " Worse and worse. I am sorry it should have been printed-even for the use ra n members, much more for the public at large: Gon forbid I should print it to make k more public— to circulate it among all who can afford sixpence to buy it,, or who could go into a pot house to mad it I" Other newsnapers felt in this manner. You will look in vain among their files for that which bore upon its from a caveat against its insertion; but the defendant published it, and he is this day brought before you to answer for the publication. I need hardly take up your time by mentioni-g another libel in another newspaper. in a letter from the discarded clerk, Lye. The plaintiff was es s amined before the Commissioners, but he was not exan,i,ed in a way to do him any good. He was in• formed that there was somethi:ig about him ; and he des red to be heatd, but the Commissioners did not tell him of what he was accused. But Mr. Beaumont's evi• dence was omitted ; so was the evidence of Mr. Sedg wick, Johnson, Schabner, and Steven/. Mr. Lye's letter begins'l with large characters, not his own name, but " Mr. B.' Beaumont, of whom you have heard so much, and of whom you _shall now learn something more." Mr. Brougham read some extracts from this letter, end said, Lye is not a clerk in the County-office now—Why does not she defendant put him in the box ? Why did he not,' justify ? ii Anticipating that 1 might one day be called' upon to develop or explain certain ambiguities in your management, I made minutes of your conduct for ten years." 1 put it .(he continued) to any one of you, it you found a clerk who had been with you for 10 years, and who had been, during all that period, keeping a record of all that he might hereafter produce against you, whether you would believe that clerk worthy of your confidence, and whether, if you had heard of any of your !steads having such a clerk, you could expect in that record, kept till the day of malice should pro duce it, to find the hand of truth traced in its let tees? The letter is not confined to Mr. Beaumont's, public conduct—to his duties in the fine-office, or to his transactions with the Stamp-office. But you may . judge of the feeling which animated this wretched man, when I tell you that he had the baseness, in this letter, to go back to the parentage of Mr. Beau Mont, and to twit him with having been boils of an artist. My friend, the Attorney-General, naturally sluirrks back or flies away from this as incredible; and as you- may have the same doubts, I shall mead the pas. sage: Mr. Beaumont's father was a painter. It is no sitatreful accusation to be called the son of a painter, end I have heard the highest legal officer in the king done in the presence of the highest birth in the land, boast that he was descended from one. Mr: Brougham read sonic further exit acts—" Were sou not attist ex pert enough to invent a suitable colouring to destroy me without resorting to matemials 1 ke these; wretched dauber, foul-mouthed bespatterer of the character you envy." The law gives Mr. Beaumont only one l method of recomeense ; but recollect. Gentlemen. ac•l cording to the amount of that compensation will the public estimate your opinion- of the purity of the Motives with which he has acted. He has Wildly confronted his accusers, confiding in the conscious tec titude which must have inspised his breast when he could thus dare to defy to the proof all his accusers, who, it not aided, were at least not thwarted by the Comminioserr, He has boldly faced the 'combination of. persons whose power, resources, and information rested upon the evidence of no less than six individuals, against whom be had only his undaunted innocence to oppose,; and he has defied his accusers to call them into the witness box before you. gl I ili the whole of the twenty yems in ehieh he bas presided over that great establish ment.in which upwards of a million of money has passed through his hands, and more than 90,000 policies have been granted—it there had ben respecting any one of those transactions on any one of the days of those twenty years, one sore place 'or suspicious feature, one solitary circumstance that would not bear the most severe search and scrutinizing examination, he would have been indeed not a bold man, but a mid man to have defied to the investigation of his conduct such a host of adver saties with such a magacine of arms, and so.little scruple to use thee); but he has defied all his accusers— he has faced all these witnesses—he has dated their in vestigation,and it is theyond not bewho has shrisak ifor,, in pleading the general issue, they have admitted the falsehood of the slanders they have dared to publisles I have spoken meekly, as became me, of that tribunal ' in whose name these slanders have been sent forth.l .1 regret, that, by a course of erroneous inquiry,.l and extra-judicial investigation, that by overstepping the bound of their commission—by reporting hearsay sur anises about what they had no right to examine, and by 'tinting what they had no right to report, they have brought discredit upon that magnificent system on' which 1 have taken leave to speak—on which public { .economy and retrenchment so mainly depend; and I am sorry I have ever seen the day when the wise insti tutions of that great Captain and greater Statesman have' been obscured by the conduct of his unworthy coidjutors. I The lwo publications in the Morning Herald of the .11th of Octst6itond 81st of -Ottole r, 1826, the latter ,being the letter of Francis Lye, were put in and read..— Llse reading occupied upwards of in hour. Thomas Saliihner, the cashier and chief clerk of the, ;County FirePece, proved that the plaintiff was the I managing rector;p the office was of large emolument. Francis 14a was bookkeeper, and Was dismissed. Crosszizainined—There are 60 Directors altogether. Several' of them often attend. Mr. Beaumont is the mane 'tng Director. The clerks are 'entirely under his ac contr •1. Witness did not know from Mr. Beaumont whe tr. he bad or had not determined to bring hi, action before the appearance of Mr. Lye's letter. The Arroawsy GENZRAL said, that he was under great difficulty, as indeed every defendant was who had to contend with his Learned Friend; because his inge unity, talents, and eloquence always enabled him to dress his case so as to captive his auditors; but in this ease he had been . so energetic that he (the Attorney „ General) hardly knew whether his calmer manner would make any impression; for after a lung experience he could never so completely identify himielf with his client as his friend had done; but be envied those wise . could feel a reel passion, and from the ion:actions s,of their clients possess that degree of pathos which ~enabled them to tan away with the feelings of ati who *beard them. He had been considering what could have „been Mr. Beaumont's object in bringing the ectiloie feel vier, little had been said about damages? His friend -amid confessed that the Morning Herald was i, Ostia srHspectable paper, and admirably cenducted. .Fleitliti• —.flit was not in the habit of bestowing up . Ors n 410146 ;Amy : extraordinary praise, even where be was : eoncerOd refer Atm, and ,he left, his clients in .this respect to the testimony of his friend, for which he was *rueful, of Which be bad a right to mad himself; Ind Which he •, Japped - tbe Jury would eeniember. lie could, ho, wow account for Mr. Beasmone's object in b-' action; he wished Mr. B;ougham to make a him in vindica ion of his conduct, and that soothe bis feelings. His object had been satis6 must consider it accomplished, and - he would doubtle-s be satisfied with a verdict spigot him. was not t he conduct of the coMmissioners, nor the duct of Mr. Beaumont, that the Jilt were to try were not now cal'ed upon to do reparation to Mr. mont for any imputation that might have been upon him in thecowse of that inquiry, hot their buss... was to see if there were any thing its the present puts lication of which he had a tight to complain. 1.11, (ihe Attorney General) hoped Nlf. Beaumont's eon duct would come out dear ; he had no ill will to ins ; bort .be would say, that Sty.. Beaumont made grievous complaints against . the Commissioners about that which, in due time and place, he would no doubt make appear to be an improper,charge; but would any man say that the mode Mr. Beaumont had taken was the best way of supplying his character, if he had lost it:Which he (the Attorney-General) waster from sat ink ? Certainly not. Mr. Beaumont would not himself think so upon reflection, his character would stand just as be fore; and for this reason,that the inquit y was depending. Why then did he not wait the regular t;me for showing that the imputations were unfounded.? If Mr. Beaumont desired to put his eloquent Counsel forward to make a favourable impression upon the public before that trial, he bad done very right in bringing the action,. but the 'Jury would not lend themselves to insist. him. The proceedings were published by the HouseelCOmmens ;, would his Learned Friend ' , • that when he presented a Petition to the House, containing imputations upon the conduct of some individual, an Action could be main tained against the editor? . Mr. BiTUGHANI sail he conceived that the piblieetide of a libellous proceeding would be iteated is * Obits: breach of plivilege; aid referred to the cases . of Lord Abingdon and Mr. Creevey. Lord TENTERDEM-1 am of opinion . iiitietionwoold lie. The AT FORNIIY GENERAL proceeded—tie had given no opinion upon the ma• ter, but when it arose he hoped it, would be calmly ditcossed. The pubiication betore the Colin was not intended by the defendant to cast the slightest reflection on Mr. B Kin ont ; it was part of the fruit of that great, tree which Lord St. Vincent had planted.; the public, who had a feeling in the success of all economical reforms, had ay fight to be acquainted with it, and the Editor, who had simply communicated it to them in a more eonveaient form, was not therefore sub ject to an action of slander. It r&ght be Mr. Beau. wont's object to strike the first blow, but he was mis taken in supposing that the report necessarily cast any imputation upon him. The County Fire Office received the amount of duty on their polities, and were amount • . . able for it to Government._ Their ser . untry &vett re 'ceived these duties along. with ilsWprentriums,_and the ‘ olfice was then reimbursed w ith its , advances, tp Govern anent. • Tne imputation snightte'sip4 Vine agents, if they stated that subsisting polielesh4d biertilisindttned, or that the insured bad not paid thealtsty. The impiaper accounting or the fraud of the agents might createasis takes if these were any, but Mr.Beauniunt chose to make •t his own case. Sill he (the Attorney . General)•rnight' say, without accus'ng Mr. Ifs'eetteriont of deiigning • any; thing wrung, that his mode of doing the business opened a wide door to fraud: With !tweet to Mr. Lye's 'letter, ithat certainly would have' been a libellous publication if it had not been in answer to Mr. Beaurnoin's own tetters. His three litters .to . the Commissioners and to r tlar Lords °fast Treasury appeared in the first paper_, they refit:Med in •the strongest manner upon Mr. Lye, tido was justified in anaweang thew; and the Editor, wbo had asserted those kite: haaas bouod to insert tht: answer. But that answer clearly *hosted. that pine was a contruveray depending beitawefi Ake writer and' Mr. Beaumont; it therefore eirfildchnt'ild' Mr- Beau; moues character any inju4, as every man who read the letter would plainly see there was &dispute between the. parties; and therefore would not credit any thing that might appear to Mr. Beaumont's disadvantage. If Iris. Lordship should think that.bitite :trim role of law the publication of that letter made the defendant liable, it was only a ease for nominal damages. • Lord TUITIRDEN said, that when a.person published . anything for his own profit, he ought first to ascertain its truth. A part of the first publication was certainly hichly injurious to the plaintiff's character. His Lord-' ship was sorry that the Conitinissioners had let it piss from them, f t it u as, besides, the subject of their in quiries. The letters ;hat had been supposed to have been writtee.try d plaintiff had been published by the defendant withoht„ . (tis consent --an answer from Lye might have been et pecited. In that letter the words " foul falsehoods" occur again and again, and he ad vises Mr. Beaumont to behave with Christian charity, and to lay aside all nialiCe. Ihe question was, whether there was any justification for publishing that letter?l The defendant had, without the plaintiff's authority, published something which he took to be letters written by the plaintiff; and because he thooght fit to publish those letters, he therefore published the answer. Had the plaintiff authorised the publication of .the first let ters, it would have been a very different thing. If the Jury could say they wete such: publications as they would be willing to have publishtd,cif ttiensselves, they would find for the defenelani;Asutlf they did not think so, then they were bound to God for ilssj pl.oiouff, with such damage. as they would deem to be 6 paper com pensation.
