REFLEC77O.VB of ids LID oirits PRESS. The, Brentionmess of the press is so doubt a very great mil ; but abuses are the consequences of human trailty, which blends with the best austitutions, and to annihilate the liberties of a whole people for the purpose c i. zitlrig a few jonrsalists or pamphleteers, c o uld be era y less abated than the idea of burning the good town of Kingston with the slew of getting rid of the ettimptittoes that habit it. Wherever a rigorous ten •orship is imposed on the press, liberty, genius, in .lastre, every thing, in fact, that aggrandises nations .dignifies and adorns human nature, must innate ,;tately decline. What mon of any talent would consent • m pen volumes or pamphlets which be may never be al lotted to publish,aud which, in plare of saucing to him the applause and esteem of his countrymen, way only ✓erve to place him nnder the hann of some Acton* censor, who is probably too indolent to read, or too ig norant to understand . what he orestunptuonily pro scribes. By sack a regulation, the whole literature of a lorry may Le left at the mercy of a set of men not ittlt cheated above the rank of officers of police—men !.n, haling an evident interest in flattering the preju fliers of their employers, will probably enter upon the censorial office with feelings, very much a-kin to those i•i* the superficial critic, who imagines that, not to find work full of faults and blemishes, would look like a re.iection on his own sagacity. We may be told, indeed, that a censorship might be limited to the Inciihrations of political incendiaries, and not apply to works written on the innucent topics of arts or science; but few that hre arrainted with the natural progress of Itnuain . faint will believe that the evil would stop here. There is in fact no other medium betwixt an enslaved and a lirantions press, than that of making an anther reepon • 'lle fur whatever he publishes. This, undoubtedly, is tie Irne secret of managing the productions of the -ess, in the same way that toleration is the true secret of managing religious sects; and yet the potentates of Ilirope were for centuries extremely averse to art upon h which has for ever put an end t o religions iwrsecutiOu. There are, no doubt, many thistles pub lished *kith should tarter meet the puhlie eye; hut the c .nom of truth is z•arill, upon the whole, to I.e powerfully rraal by the collision of sentiment. and it must be re rtemberal, that the press possesses a self-correcting trinciple, and, in fact, furnishes the only antidote for Ouunds it indicts. In our courts of law, the testi loony of contradictory witnesses, and the iugenuity of e;:posing advocates, must often be exceedingly perplex i!.g to the Judge and Jury; and vet no one supposes Catt the ends of justice are defeated by allowing. the ...st unreasonable liti ga nt th e bene fit . of all these A great English Dittmar, to whom a reveiend I -other had hero plaining of tie power and pro ;. eras of the dissenters, is said to have replied in these ninted terms, `, Out-live them—out-pray them—ont• preach them ;" and. while we adtuh that no quarter a :maid be given to blasphemy and sedition, we would, 3 a similar principle, say to those journalists who would rejoice to see restrictions imposed upon a ilif terest class of politicians :—Out-quibble—out-argue— out-writs them.

The declaration stated, that before the grievances committed by the defendants therein-after-mentioned, the plaintiff had been insured in the Essex and Suffolk Fire Insurance Society, for his house and premises, and that a fire having happened thereon, be had received a compensation for the same, from the said Society, and that the defendanta s eentelehtx and intending to Injure him, &c. published a malicious libel, of and concerning bins, imputing that hr had falsely stated his loss, and had received a greater com pensation than was fairly due to him, from the said !..)ciet v. defendants pleaded, first, Not guilty; and, se cond, a justification, that the supposed libel was true. The plaintiff replied, that the defendants had pub lished the libel of their own wrong, on which issue was joined. The damages were laid at ii.lloo/. 'lbis case excited very general interest in the county. on account of the opulence and respectability of both parties. At the last Assizes the cue was tried, before the same Learned Judge, but the plaintiff was nonsuited upon a technical point totally independent of the merits. The Court of Kings Bench baying granted a new trial , the case now came on to be disposed of upon the merits. The cause was called on yesterday afternoon about one o'clock, and after the Court had been occnpied un til near eight in the evening, the further proceedings were adjourned until this morning, when the trial was resumed, and it did not erne to a conclusion until about four o'clock in the afterioon.

The premises had been insured in the Essex and Suffolk Fire Office to a certain amount on each building, ice. but to an animal much less than the injury enstained. Nett day Mr. Butler, the Society'e agent, residing at Chokes ford,went over to the farm, for the purpose of estimating the amount of the loss, and upon his report the Society paid the plaintiff the sum of 41111. (ill. Gil. as a furl compensation for the injury be had sustained upon each of the buildings, and the farming stuck and utensils in snred respectively. The total amount of the plaintiff's loss was stated to be rather more than 1,71411. At this these the defendants were on the must friendly terms with the plaintiff, and Mr. Isaac Sewell, the sou of the defendant, Mr. Sewell, nes clerk to the Deueh of Ma gistrates at Halsted, having been appointed to his si tuation by the plaintiff. to the autumn of the year INK no doubt was entertained of the fairness of the plaintiff's claim for the loss hr had sustained ; but in the mouth of September in that year, Mr. I. Sewell haring married a daughter of Mr. Daniel, au attorney, of Co. cheater, with whom he was about to enter into co- Ipartnership in business, he was desirous of disposing of ris professional practice at Halsted, for which he had agreed with a professional gentlemen at the price of one thousand pounds, in condition that the latter should succeed bias in his office of clerk to the Bends of 31a. eirtrates.

To this eirenutstance WAS ar.criheil the feeling of hostility on the part of the defendant, Mr. Sewell, which produced the libel in question, for, subsequently to this twriosi, the defendants, and Mr. Isaac. Newell. who hail also her a I tirec:or of the Fire-office, caused an inquiry to be made into the cirennottatme I.f the plain tiff's tire, nisich had happened in I'+l3, and after various discussions on the subject, the defendants in the melt sent a letter to the plaintiff, ell the •26tle of January, Ixl9, signed by tooth, calling upon him to answer cer tain acensalihms touching ti.e elaint t..r 10/421, which he had loathe, and using strott,;. t..ruis of reproaels, accusing hint of dishonourable, hol . air, and 11.411111 th-is: conduct towards the Society, in having recei,eil sums it money for partienlar items specified, to tt birti he s: as not en titled.

To sit, w the msictr s with which the libel in question was published, it was proved I that 'Mr. Sewell hail pnbliciy alien at or read copies of the paper to different cumpailie, of t o-moot to %shoot the plaintiff was known ; had sent copies of it to friends ut the plaintiff, and other:, atm had even in a public stage coach brought the plaintiff's supposed fraudulent con duct into conversation, amongst persons strangers to hies, and before whom he accused him of fraudulent and dishonourable conduct totvards the Pire-office.

Oa the part of the defendants there were three I eipal grounds of defence relied upon: first, that the sup posed libel did not arise from ally malicious motive, but purely f the sense of duty %%bids the defendants, as Dire! tors of the Fire-offre, owed to the Society, in call ing upon the plaintiff to explain the particulars of a transaction, with which the defendants here not Ac quainted instil the matter came officially before a public inciting of the Director., to consider of a proposition for assimilating the mode of insuring farming-stocic, to that adopted by other Fire-officio, u turn the affair of the plaiutiff's fire was investigated, and was found to con tain circumstances of strung suspicion; second, that in point of fart, the plaintiffs claim t.iol contain enumerated I ; stems of demand fur loss to which he was not entitled, no such losses leaving been sustained ; and to prove this part of the case, a volume of evidence was adduced, arts of the witnesses bring Newman, the bailiff, already mentioned: and third, that the deft udaut, Mr. Smoothy, could not be answerable fur damages in respect of any aggravated circumstances in the conduct of his co defendant, and consequently as this was an action for a joint part,. the damages must be cootiued strictly to the supposed libel. Mr. WaLronu addressed the Jury in an animated and eloquent reply. Mr. Baron tianaow summed up the case for the Jury, 'and directed theta, that if they were of opinion that the plaintiff was entitled to a verdict, they could not distinguish between the rase of each defendant, for in this form of action the injury of one•was the injure of both, and the amount of damages they must settle . be tween themselves. The condurt of the defendants col laterally, to the publication of the libel in question, was only-to be received in evidence to show the temper Or mind and the motive with which the libel was published. Taking all the circumstances of the ease into considera tion, they would tit such damages as the east seemed to require.
