LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S MARCh 9. silt AI R. COCIIRANE, E. B. r. cit•pri.r. This was an action hronglit by Vice-Admiral Sir Alexander -Torrester Cochrane, K. B. to recover damages against the de fendant, the bookseller of Pall•mall, for printing and publish ing a acandalons libel of anti concerning the plaintiff; imputing to bins cowardice apd dishonourable and corrupt conduct in his Ammeter of Vice-Admiral. It appeared, that the libel was published in a pamphlet. en titled—" Secret Memoirs of the Hon. Andrew Corttrane John stone, of the Hon. Vice-Admiral Sir Alex. Forrester Cochrane, K. B. a Captain in the Royal Navy; with an account of the circumstances which led to the diacovery of Lord Cochrane Owl others, to defraud the Stork Exchange." The libelloita matter, which was the subject of the action, imputed to the plaintiff, Ist. That he was guilty of cowardice, When he was Commander in Chief off the Leeward Island sta tion, on the 6th Jab not making the necessary preparations to lien *tie French squadron, under Admiral n'illatime, and Jennie Buonaparte, oil the bland Tortola and St. '1 liomes, /sc. 2.1. That lie curruptiv snoiggled on board of his Majesty's ship Bellidc when at Halifax, mules, which he caused to be sold at 'fortola for his own profit, without entering them at the Custom-lions,. 3d. That he defrauded the Victualling Board, by paying for a quantity of duck, purchased on his own lir. count, in Bilk of Exchange drawn upon that Board, purport ing to he for fresh heef supplied to his ‘.ajcsiy's ships in the road of Tortola, no qtr.!) beef having ever been in fact supplied to the ships; and tth, That he had fraudulently appropriated to himself shout 2011 ;wife negroef, condemned notice the Act 4T lien. 111. c. 36; and tiansported them to a sugar plantation of his own at Trinidad, &e. The knowledge of this scandalous publication came by acci dent to the plaintiff through Vice Admiral Durham, iipm, which he iirdantly applied to the defendant to has° the author delivered up. Mr. Chapple, of course, referred him to A. Mackenrott, who was lately acquitted at the Old Bailey of for gery on the ground of insanity ; and the plaintiff immediately commenced his action against the latter, as the author; but in consequence of his being confined after the recent trial as a lunatic, that action was discontineed. and the present foie brought against the defendant. The publication being proved in the regular way, Mr. Smitten addressed the Jury in mitigation of damages, expressing the contrition of the defendant for having been un happily led into the publication of a libel, the tendency of which he did not know at the time it was put to press. He was exeectlingly sorry for what he hail done, confessing that there was no foundation fur the libellous allegations in the pamphlet. The Jury, under the direction of the Judge, found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages Tire Hundred "sands. MANSION HOUSE. Yetterday H. Phillips was brought up and underwent a se cond examination, charged on suspicion of having stolen silks, &e. from the warehouse oh' Messrs. Popeham and Co. of Cheap_ side. It appeared, that on Tuesday morning last the door of the prosecutor's warehouse was broken open, and an immense quantity of goods. of the description mentioned, carried away. No trace of the depredators could then be made; but urn the rime day the prisoner and another person went to an inn in Aldgate, where they requested leave to deposit a number of packages. The prisoner being known to the innkeeper, the latter suspected his conduct, and having sent for an officer, he was taken into custody ; and an enquiry having taken place, the whole of the goods proved to have been the property of the prosecutor. The prisoner having made a communication to the Lord Mayor, and requested to be again examined with the aid of his Solicitor, he was again remanded. GUILDHALL. Yesterday John Pankhurat was charged with stealing a quantity of money, from time to time, the property of Mr. Joliff, of Fleet Market. The prisoner, it appeared, was in the service of the prosecutor only two mouths, and into which he had entered in rather aii .tressed state. During Ihe time men tioned, however, his appearance and means bespoke a gulden improvement; and a quantity of money being unsied from the till, suspieiore fell upon Min. Another person, who had been in the service of the prosecutor severed years, having un oppor. timity of observing his emitter, watched him more narrowly. He stated, that in the course of the week he had missed several dollars, three shilling pieces, and other silver. Out Friday after noon lie put two dollars, and flute tokens for three shillings each into the till, and having left the shop about ten minutes he found (otitis return two of the latter gone, while no person !awe the prisoner could have approached the place where they were.
