From the opal*, of Mr. tAitty the jary would hare learned who as op had to dash wiflo *ld who, in the present action s the plaintiff bad to 4 Id 16 0 ; e 1rre needed but 10 ogee Ilia. do ' s ballast/, , to hettie before the Court the Sian of all to *host attack upon individual repots ' Von was Ate most to be drevded ; a man whose talents It was scarce possible to overrate • whose abilities could *oh , be exceeded ll' the zeal salt which he exercised theist; and even whose seal was hardly so remarkable as the utter scrupulousness with which, upon any and every occasion, he threw his tremendous powers into action. The comparatively unprotected individual who now appealed from the defendant to the jury was a gentleman little known to the world, a native of the sister kingdom; awl, in hot, almost a stranger in the country in which he lived. Since his arrival in Eng land, Mr. Cleary had taken part in the politics of that part of the empire in which he had become resident ; and being an elector of Westusinater he had exercised the invaluable franchise which Ise possessed rightfully and conscientiously: In the course of his political el- Illets he had beemoreminecteil with Major Cartwright, a person whose long and laborious life, and uniform in illoilsisteney—Mr. Brougham begged the worthy Major's *Arden, consistency he should have said, but he was Maki n g of another irolis Anal, whose i11e011.461,111CV was as obvious as the Misjar's iiviformity—lint whose labo rious life and steady adherence to one class of principles could not fail to emossami the respect of those who widely perhaps differed from him as to the sound atss of his doctrines. Using however in habits of Won sq. with 111;sjor Cartts•right, and enjoying the lospitality for winch that genders. in was celebrated, it was natural that Mr. Cleary, when his friend was proposed for Westminster, should he found in the ranks of his sapporters; and oat of the plaintiff's exertions upon that occasion arose the libel for which he otsw sought reparation. Another candidate proposed for election at that period was Mr. Henry Hunt, and It having pleased Mr. Hind, in pursuance of his owe particular views, to attack Mr. Cleary's conduct and character, and haviug publicly read a private letter fur the purpose of abasing that Gentleman, which letter was iotentled for his eve alone, and never meant kw ;midi ration, Mr. Cleary tb;soglit it right to retaliate upon Mr. Hunt by reading a letter, purporting to be a letter of Mr. Cobbett. bat which Mr. Cohbett had since thought ,pdjamp Je was hardly ',economy Hat he Mi.' B.) rea I the whole of that :rater, be eause the Jury would hear it read in evidence. Ile should only say that it was a letter in which Mr. Cohbett was' speaking in April, NON of Mr. Hnnt in a very diffe rent manner from that in which he indulged towards that individual at a late That Mr. Glint should have complained of Mr. Cleary for representing to the electors of Wrs:minster the tone in which Mr. Coblott lead spoken of him at a former period, as contrasted with the panegyrical strains in which at that election Ise re eo ttttt ;ended him to the suffrages of the people, was per hare tolsearcounted for with.sonse appearance of reason ; hut why Mr. CObbett should turn with such a vindictle, not to say ferocious spirit upon Mr.Cleary for such an et: posure, seemed.otterly irrecomilealtle with charity and hasnanity. The letter of Mr. Coiabett opoke in terms extremely ailferent front those in which he had been in the hahit of representing the character of Mr. Hunt. Why then should Mr. Cohbett cortiptain of this exposure or the change in his sentiments—just as if this uAs the only instance in which he was ever known to change his opinion upon any subject ? It was really extraordinary that Mr. Colobett should feel angry at such an inyutation of ineoa sisteucy. If it were not a thing that hail happened every I year, every six menthe...or even every six days, still SUM could be no great injury done to Mr. Cohbett by dela,- tion in this iortaoce. If such changes took place whit out number, yet those who experienced the amusement, the instruction, and the pleasure which the display of great talents were calenlated to impart, could not be better or worse for the ducteations in alr.Cobbetes opi nis.ns, so long as his powers were employed upon ocea sions in themselves innocent. Inconsistency in a course ofyears, or even in a course of months, cuuld not be in , furious to Mr. Cobbott's character as a writer. If it were material, however, to the present inquiry, he thought lie should he ahle to 'hew that Mr. Cohbett had not the faculty of retaining the saint opinion for a week —nay not fur an hour torether, upon the same snlijeat and that in number after number of Isis paper, his its cansistency and violent changes of opinion— The Caw Awl - tot—We are rather limited it our in quiry here. Mr. Brougham. We must centime onrselves the bees which are the subject of this action. Mr. l'ottarre—Pray, my Lord, don't stop the Learned lianas-roan. I wish host to have fell worse. Mr. Itnocaulm said, he was only endeavouring to skew that Mr. Cobbett could hare no just reason lot diepleasure at the imputation of iaroosisteney In his transition froasattacking to defending Mr. Hunt. Ursa ' t this letter by Mr. Clown , at the MIN se rise to th'e libels width , n—libele which iand tL 'hat doenment. The trot declaration was dosed the ea appateistly its Auseftesi of as Address to 1111 r In five different shapes bad this libel appeared. 'llse Learned Counsel proceeded to read some of the most offensive passages, and among others that which im puted to Mr. Cleary, as a motive for the alleged forgery, that hr committed it in consequence of receiving "a pecuniary reward from his opulent and base employer, stir Francis Burdett." So that, said the Learned Cs nit se!, the defendant was not content with simply charging this to he a forgery—an imputation of sutheietit malig nity—but a motive most be attributed, of the very wont character, namely—that the forgery was committed for the lucre of gain! If any other an than Mr. Cobbett was a defendant on the record, be should leave the race in the hands of the jury without farther continent ; but as Mr. Gobbed was the defendant, soil as that Gentlemen meant to defend himself, it became necessary for him to say a few words as to the nature of the question theylad to try. The defendant had not pleaded aja stifieat ion ; he bad merely pleaded the general issue, not guilty, denyinz only that be had published the libel. fly that plea be admitted that the letter was DOT a forgery, aid therefore it was *sly opus to him TO eounment npon the wordii.g of the publication, and slew, if he could, that it was not a libel. The imputation was that of forgery—utiel was clearly libellous, and, therefore, if the publication of such an imputation was Invalid home to the defendant. be accused to be clearly without airy defence. The Learned Gentleman concludes! by a powerful appeal to the Jury, tipoa the folly of considering that men are not as much entitled to the protection of their good fame and character, as of their worldly property; and urging that an unbridled nod licentious iadafgrnce of slander in the press, would be destructive of all those blessings of which a free press woe the fruitful source. Mr. John Weight was the firm witness tsar/doe& Ile depose.' to the following effect :—I ate at-quaintest with Mr. Cobbett; 1 know Isis hand-writing, the letter now put into any hand, dated !holey, 111th April, lattet, supposes! forgery), is Mr. Colstett's hand-writing titoct =Mainly, I received it from him by the post; and hate ntadosibt at nil that it is his hand-writing. Cross-esamiased by Mr. I . I I IIIIETT ight (id a Instil elld peremptory voice), Sir, look at rte. lam requites! to look at his Mr. Cionaerr—My Lord, is not Wiiglit to lout: at me ? The Cut= Jcerter.—tle may dank at you if he pleases, but he is to direct his answers so, that the Jury mut may hear hint. Mr. Conorry resumed his cross-examination—Wright, were you nut my servitor ?—\o, I was not. Yon were my clerk, employed by me?-1 was not. Were yon in any employinent r—i can't say that I was; I flax an arnt for you. You sere not employed by me -You always denied it voerself, at the time you wrote that let. ter; 1 always understood that I was year agent. The uitness then underwent a most terse examination by the defendant, and deposed in substance as follows: The letter in question was not ui private letter, it was never so considered ; most of the letters you sent Dl', and which are bound up in the hook I hayermlueed, aro private. There was a Idng arbitratinu of iserouuts be tween us in the years 1810, 11, and 12. It is entirely an invention of your own, to say that I threat tied to expose vourprivate lettets, unless you gave way to my demands.' This is the first tistag_l anger lola, at IL. first delivered this letter to \lr. Place, at the time of the election in HOS. I had it hack, and I delivered it again to the same person in 1815, at the then election.
