COURT OF ARCHES, DOCTQRS' COMMONS, NOV: 21 BEAVER V. BRAVER. This was a cause of divorce or separation from bed, board, and mutual cohabitation, promoted on the part of Mrs. Beaver against her husband, by reason of cruelty and adultery.. On a former Court day the pro ceedings were opened by the Learned Civilians oss the one side and the` other, when the Court (Sir J9grt Mcnot.t.) observed it would recommend the parties to endeavour to compromise the matter. This day , the cause again came on for hearing, and after enter ing. into a part of the evidence, the Court was of opi. mon the husband ought to be dismissed from the suit, and accordingly pronounced for the same. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, NOV. 20. THE BISHOP OF DERRY. • The ATTORNEY GENERAL moved this day to make the rule absolute which had bees obtained against Messrs. Jenkins, Lynch, and }levies, proprietors of the. Cambrian Newspaper. Mr. leant, sheaved cause against the rule. The pan a ph in question, which stated that the Bishop had long speculating in trade, and was at length put into the Gazette, appeared in the Cambrian of the 9th of June. There were two grounds of mitigation in the present case. The first was, that Jenkins was pot a determined libeller, but was led into misrepre .sentation merely by - accident ; the second, that the anament he had found out his error, be had made ap - t *cation to. the Bishop, with every acknowledgment tr= . From the mode in which the libel got into , it was to be hoped the Court would nit thin n necessary to visit the defendants with the , ' usual strictness of punishment for libel. Jenkins had for some 'fears past vorrespon'ded with a Member of the House of Commons, who frequently sent him paragraphs. On the Bth of June, Jenkins received a letter, containing the statement in question, with some others. From such a source, he could not doubt the authenticity of the information. It was put in the ,paper ,of the 9th ; it remained uncontradicted for nearly three weeks ; when from some paragraphs in the Bath and Chester papers, it appeared to be with lout foundation. At this time he had received no no tice of any prosecution against him ; but with the' spontaneous honesty which became a respectable and peaceable man, he inserted a contradiction of the pa ragraph, with a suitable apology. On the '22d of September, it came to his knowledge, that an address _had been preseNted to the Bishop by the Derry Grand Jury, assuring him of their respect, and alluding to I the subject of the libel. This he immediately inser ted in his paper. - On the 22d of October Jenkins re jceived a letter from Mr. Chambers, of Dublin, the 1 Bishop's Solicitor, from which he had the,first notice of the prosecution. This letter recommended it to him to go to London, wait on the Bishop's Solicitor there, and by throwing himself on the Reverend Pre late's clemency, try to avoid if possible the conse quences of a criminal action. On this, Jenkins in stantly wrote to the Solicitor in London ; but not feeling satisfied. with merely writing, he came on the third day after to London, and waited on the Bishop. He then stated to his Lordship, that he got the para graphfrom a Member of Parliament ; but, on his re turn home, he recollected that in the anxiety of the interview, he bad omitted mentioning the name of the Member. He then immediately went down tc Bristol, where he had heard that the Member in ques tion was, and got under his hand an acknowledgment of his being the author. Lord ELLENBOROV V H here interrupted the Leirned Counsel, and observed, that as the libel was traced to its source, it would be for the discretion of the prose cutor to consider, whether he would proceed with the present prosecution.' .. The ATTORNEY GENERAL said, he would take an opportunity of statiag something on that subject to . their Lordships hereafter. Lord ELLENBOROUOII on this said, that no excuse was furnished for the publisher, by any thing which had now come out. The Court had merely offered a suggestion to the prosecutor ' s discretion. The Arroaxer GENERAL replied, that all those to pics would be attended to in the progress of the busi ness. They would all have their weight in due time. 1 Mr. Je.Km wished to know what his Learned Friend meant by due time ? MT. ATTORNEY GENERAL.—" I will tell my Lear ned Friend in terms which cannot be misunderstood. Let Mr. Jenkins suffer the rule to be made absolute, and let judgment go ii x de(atilt ' • let us know ..whin evidence be can furnish for the detection of the au thor ; and It will be then foi f its to determine otl the .. coming printeati•thatisifit‘inif capitals, that he had said, If aiibel-werecopied verbatim from one paper 'Rat) arfother r he (the ATTORNEY-GENERAL) would be the last man to press for judgment against the copyist and that his opinion had been sanctioned by the Court. In consequence of this 'publication, he had received letters from several persons, now waiting the sentence of the law, calling-on-him to. act on his own opinion, and not bring them up for judgment. Lord ELLEstioaouon said, it was nor worth while to refute such an assertion; and, perhaps, if the At torney-General enlarged upon the subject, the sarrie opinion would appear in some paper of the next day, with the addition, that- had admitted it to be correct. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then repeated the terms on which Jenkins and the other defendants might ex. pect clenseity. ' Let them suffer judgment to go by default. But no stipulation would be entered into. The defendants were to use their own discretisko; and the Counsel for the prosecution would be giiided by all the lenity consistent with justice. He must again controvert the injurious idea, that the copyist was not , culpable. There was scarcely a case, in which he did • not consider the copyist as more profligate and wick. ed than the original author. Lord ELLENBOROUGH said, the publication had not yet been proved a libel. But he recollected an appli, cation fora similar rule,. in the case of a late. Noble Lord, (he believed it was Lord Loughborough) against the 'printer of a paragraph, stating that his fortune had • been ruined by gambling transaction!. The Rule was made absolute in that case, and the Court would not hesistate to make the present Rule absolute. . Mr. GARROW 'moved for a similar rule against the printer of the Morning Herald, and three others for the same libel in the Morning Herald the 27th of June. Mr. ABBOT sheaved cause against the rule. The paragraph had not originated with the Morning He rald. Every thing that could be done as an apology was done. A contradiction of the paragraph ap peared on . the 21st of July. Mr. ABBOT then read the apology, which was very full and very submissive. This apology might not amount to an excuse, but ap: plications of this kind were always made to the dis cretion Of the Court ; and the Court would in its wisdom consider whether any deliberate injury was meant to the prosecutor. Lord Why did not the defcn. dant make some inquiry into the truth of .tlie report before he printed it ? It would have probabsy saved him the trouble of the apology r' The ATTORIOZT•GENERAL said. the stoology had not the meritsof being original. It was aLso taken from the Cambrian. the Lord ELLENIOROUGH.—. 4, There is no excuse in . apology ; all that can be said, is, alter first calumni ating the man; they then nauseate him with flattery." The rnle made absolute. Mr. Dmortart moved to make the rule absolute against the proprietor and printer of the Morning Chronicle. Mr. JEXYLL declined troubling the Court, at any length, after their opinion had been so fully declared; but he must, in justice - to his clients, mmtion a few facts.. The paragraph in the Morning, Chronicle was copied verbatim from the Morning Herald of the 27th of June : it appeared in the Morning Chronicle of the 28th. On the following day, the defendants hearing_ that the paragraph was unfounded, an am ple apolog y was inserted in their paper of the 30 th of June. He (Mr. Jekyll) was aware that it was no excuse to say, that from the long period of the ori ginal reports remaining untontradicted, they were led to believe it true. and only inserted it as a matter of common intelligence. But if the Attorney-Gents.. rat had looked over the Morning Herald, he would not. have thought that the paragraph in the Morn ing Chronicle contained any additional sung, for it was a mere copy. Mr. RAINE followed, and. made some observations on the shortness of the time which intervened between the offenceand - the apology.—The Rule made absolute. A similar application was made against the pro prietor of the Statesman. Mr. READER said the paragraph was copied from the Leeds paper.—Rule made absolute. JUDGMENT. Mr. JEKYLL moved for the judgment of the Court on William Laing, who had been found guilty of an assault on William Williams, at the late Hants As sizes. The prosecutor had removed the cause in the Court of King's Bench. Mr. Justice lismstv.before whom it had been tried, read the minutes of the trial. From these it appeared, that, in June last, a number of persons residing in the neighbourhood of South Sea Common had procured the leave of the Magistrates to amuse themselves with a variety of rural sports; and the defendant, who is , a general merchant, was appointed one of the Com mittee of Management. At the time when the sports were going fonvard, a very large ring was 1114de for those who were actively employed, and several per ions, and among the rest the defendant, were exerting lihemselves to keep the crowd from breaking in—by -Some accident, however 4 the prosecutor, who is a journeyman shipwright, was forced into the ring, un der the feet of a horse. The moment he got up, he .tras violently attacked by the defendant wtth a large knotted stick, with which he struck him 14 blows on the back and breast, which incapacitated him from working for a long time after. It appeared that Mr. Liustice Bailey had, on the trial, mentioned a sum which he thought would have been a sufficient remu- Pnemtion ; but it was not attended to. The defendant had also offered the sum of £lO to the prosecutor, who would have taken it, had he not been advised by a third person to remove the cause. Several affidavits were put in, in mitigation of ps. nishment ; they chiefly stated,that the defendant did not strike the prosccutor on the breast, and that the stick he usedwas not more than half an inch in diameter. Mr. Gast LVE hoped, as the defeatdant had done eve:y thing to compromise the matta, and as the A : ttelitaiiketitor' Wile ttiori have ban gives! by him, that the Court would • lenient in their jutt:ment. hutyr.r. and Mr. Bopiotcat contended, that it. . most crue} and unprovoked assault, and calleci exemplary punishment. Lord ELLEenottot)Gu reprobated the cdnduct of the person who had prevented the compmrnise. merely to sum of money into his own pocket. He thought highly reprehensible to move the coda front . Court which possessed a competent jurisdiction.— As the parties appeared to have me.tsured of the paeans of remuneration necessary, by their Original compromise, which a niischievous friend had 'nevem. ted, he was of opinion that the slum of el% whicf then appeared to have been acceded to t would be vi .sufficient tine for the defendant to pay. The defendant was fined RIO accordingly. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS:NOV. so. DAWsON t. WOOD. This was an action against the .Sheriff under the following circumstances, which led to a decision that must be generallrinteresting : • Dawson, in addition to a public house in London, occupied by himself, held another also in the City, in• which the business was c,irried on by ow: Pike, his ser vant. The licence was in the name of Pike, tho re gulations of the Citt requiring that 'it should be in the name of the actual *occupier, but the n.inie over the • door Was Hindlcy, who had, before conducted the business 9f the house as servant to Dawson. One liutd„ . a Creditor of Pike, having agreed to indemni:y the sheriff, took the property in the house in ettecu. tion fag his debt, upon which Dawson, the real pro prietor, brought his action for the value. The Cum , JUSTICIII at the trial thought that Dawson had held out Pike to the would !s the pro': prietor, and of r.eeessity induced many people to deal with him upon that credit, he ought*to bear the loss, and a nonsuit was entered, with liberty to enter aver. dict for the plaintiff, if the Court should differ frogs the Judge at Nisi Prius. After hearing argument by Serjeant Co rata is suppott-of the nonstut, and Setjeant BEST agatisto it, the Court decided in favcur of the plaintiff, thintiil it would be going too great a length to say that the propeity a_principal should in all such cases where the business was carried on by a serrant, be consider. ed as the property of the servant, relying . much whila respect to the law on the stattite of James I. which, under these circumstances makes the posaission a good title in rases of daninotcs, and thereby determines by implication that the law it otherwise iu other cam. The nonsuit was set aside and 'a vtrdict entered for the plaintiff accordingly. SOUTH AMERICA. 41 , The American Papers contain the following ac count from she Spanish M4in: 44 Accountsa have been received from Carthagena by a ship which sailed towards the middle ot Septem ber. It appears that the inhabitants of Sant* Feehave disagreed among themselves respecting where the sea of Government should be formed. The diseon. tented persons had separated themselves from the revolutionists, and were joined by a party of troops with arms, &c. from the Archbishop of Mexico, who lekis loyal to ,the King of -Spain, Ferdinand VII. iatalhtints of Santa Fee, friendly to the new order ings, had mustered their whole strenztli, and march- ' id out to meet the enemy 2or 5000 strong. The battle ended in favour of the Republicans, v.ho ake.- wards celebrated thevietnry in honour ot Ferdinand VII. The Mexicans lost many men, and fought en ihe dt i t colours iif the King of Spain. This has, it Madded; quieted for a time the commotion', and the w Governor co:anilines to maintain his authority ; but it is apprehended . that ere Ipiig.fresh . iittempts - will be made open the place and inliabitants by the* people of Mexico, who call themselves the loyal is. habitants of New Spain." • PROM MLXICO. " We have seen a Gentleman from Vera Cruz who informs us that the Vice-King of Mexico had supplied the Governor of idaracarie with military, arms, and ammunition, for the purpose of resisting the rebels of the Caraccas, whom it was determined to bring to submission.
