MR. KEAN'S RECEPTION AT NEW YORK. (From the New York Daily Adoreliser of Nov. 16] . RIOT AT THE PARK THEATRE. On Monday evening, agreeably to public notice, Mr. Kean made his first appearance at the Park Theatre. The boxes on the first and st cowl row had been previously taken by his friends, Ind early on Monday all the pit tickets were disposed of, and notice placed on the outside of the doors that no tickets could be had. About an hour before the time of perfounince all the avenues leading to the doors were choked up, and the rush to obtain admit tance was very great. All parts of the house were cram med lung before the curtain rose, and it was evident that it was composed of materials which would not remain quiet. At the commencement of the second scene Mr. Kean ap peared, when the shouts of his friends Ind the hooting% of those unfriendly were almost deafening. He bowed, and pp prated anxious toaddressthe audience; but the tumult was so great dist nothing could beheard. Mr. Simpson, the manager, came forward, and with great difficulty was heard to say that Mr. Kean wished to he heard, and that lie hoped an Anne , gican public would not condemn him without a hearing. When he retired the uproar was renewed, and continued throughout the whole five acts to such a degree that Mr. Kean's voice was not heard during the whole performance. He frequently attempted, by his gestures, to address the house, but it was impossible for his friends to obtain for him a hearing. During the piece he was pelted with oranges, apples, &c. At the close of the play he was an nounced for Wednesday evening, in the character of Othello, amid uproar and tumult. TO TILE EDITOR OT THE DAILY ADVERTISER. Mr. Editor,—With oppressed feelings, heartrending to my friends and triumphant to my enemies, I make an appeal to that ' country famed for hospitality to the stranger, and mercy to the conquered. Allow me to lay, Sir, whatever are my offences, I dia. claim any intention of offering anv thing in the shape of disrespect toward* the inhabitants of New York. They received me from the first with an enthusiasm, grateful in those hours to my pride—in the ?front to my memory. I cannot recal to my mind any act or tbanght that did not prompt rite to an unfeigned acknowledgment of their favours as a public. and profound admirati in of the private worth of those tildes in which I had the honour of moving. That I have committed an error, appears too evident from the all-decisive voice of the public ; but, surely. i: is but justice to the delinquent (whatever may be his enormities) to be allowed to make reparation where the offences were committed. ikly misun derstanding* took place in Boston. To Boston I shall assuredly go. to apologise for my indiscretions. I visit this country now, under different feelings and auspices than on a former occasion. Then I was an ambitious man, and the proud representative of Shakapease's heroes ; —the spark of am bition is extinct ;—and I merely ask a shelter in which to close my professional and mortal career. I give the weapon intOdiehamis of my enemies; if they are brave, they will not turn it against the defenceics.. EDMUND KEAN. Washington-Hall, Nov. 15, 1825. We received the foregoing note last evening, accompa nied by a request from the manager of the Park Theatre that it might be inserted in our paper this morning. If by the remark, that he has committed an error ap pears too evident from the decisive voice of the public," Mr. Kean alludes to his conduct at Boston, and supposes that to be the ground of the unfavourable reception he has met with here, we have no doubt he labours under a very serious mistake. It is primarily his moral conduct which excites the opposition of so large a portion of the citizens of New York to his appearance on the stage. How far this apology will satisfy the public, we pretend not to say. I From the New York Garrtte of November IS.] Mr. Kean made his first appearance, since his return from England, last evening, in the character of Richard. Great crowds had collected in front of the Theatre pre vious to the hour of admission ; on the opening of the doors they poured in in streams, and in a very few minutes the house was filled throughout. On the ringing of the bell for the commencement of the performance, the clamor and shouting amongst the friends and foes of this individual began. The curtain rose, and two of the minor characters of the play appeared and commenced reciting their parts, but the confusion was too great to allow them to be heard. Kean was loudly called for, who speedily appeared, bowed, and prepared to address the audience. The noise, however, did not abate, and after standing upon the stage full a quarter of an hour, finding that the audience were unwilling to listen to him, he re tired, when Mr. Simpson, the Manager, presented him self, and claimed to be heard. He respectfully re quested that the audience would grant Mr. Kean the li berty of addressing them ; he was sure that it was not the practice of Americans to condemn without a hearing, and he trusted that what Mr. Kean had to say was such as would prove perfectly satisfactory. On his leaving the stage, Mr. Kean re-entered and intimated, by gesture, his wish to be heard, but the uproar was renewed, and he was refused the liberty. After waiting upon the stage about 'ten minutes he again retired, and the play was re sumed, the first three acts of which were intirely panto mimic—not a word could be heard. In the fourth and fifth acts, in some of the scenes where Kean was not on the stage, some passages were audible, but the part of Richard was, throughout, conducted in dumb show. fluting the wooing scene, in the second act, one of the many missiles that were thrown upon the stage passed directly over the heads of Mrs. Hilson (who represented Lady Anne) and Mr. K., nearly striking the latter. Mr. Hilson,who was in one of the boxes in front of the pit, being alarmed for the safety of his wife, immediately leaped upon the stage, and conducted her off. Mr. Simpson then appeared, and, with an expression of countenance indicative of sorrow and indig nation, seemed to implore that the audience would act with more decorum, and display a little more respect for them selves. After some delay, Mrs. Hilson again appeared, end the piece proceeded; but, as before, the din of mingled ap plause and hisses rendered the dialogue inaudible. In the following act, an orange, thrown from the gallery, struck Mr. Kean upon the breast. He immediately picked it up, displayed it to the audience a few minutes with looks of in dignation, and finally threw it behind the scenes. After this, there were few intermissions of the uproar; and the falling of the curtain was attended with the same tumult that accompanied its rising. After the termination of the play Mr. Kean was an nounced to perform Othello, to-morrow evening, which annunciation had the effect of renewing the confusion. On the conclusion of the afterpiece Kean was loudly called for, when Mr. Simpson appeared and stated that be had left the house, and that it was not known where he was to be found. On the receipt of this information, a part of the audience displayed a disposition to commit violence, and we understand some damage was done to the benches, fixtures, &c. The street in front of the Theatre, during the whole of the evening, was thronged with a number of turbulent individuals, who betrayed much anxiety to make a forcible entiance into the building, and at one time had nearly effected their object, but were prevented by the active ex ertions of a E:rotig police. LANGE AtASA OP AMBER FOUND IN TILE ISLAND OF NEW PEOVIDLNCE.—About the middle of last year a sailor being fat;gued, sat down near the sea, on a block, which he supposed to be a stone. After having slept some time, in attempting to rise, he found himself glued to his scat. When he reached the vessel, one of his comrades remarked that he appeared to be scented with a very strong odour ; and when he learned how it happened he invited him tore turn and bring an-ay the stone. The former had at first no inclination to comply in consequence of its bring too heavy; so much the better replies the other, you will make your fortune the sooner, for I believe it to be a large piece of amber which will sell for a large sum. He immedi ately mounted a horse, crossed the island, and brought away the atone. He showed it at fist to a Jew, who offered him only the tenth part of its value. The circumstance soon spread, and the Captain of a merchant vessel then in port, purchased it of the sailor ; and after passing through several hands, it was finally sold in England for 12,300/. sterling, at the rate of eighty-shillings per ounce.—New England Paper. tont.testrx HOSPITA L. —The following tr the Monthly Return of Patients from the lit to the 30th Nor. : In Patients admitted by letters -11 l Ditto ..Accidents - 23-140 Oat-Patients admitted by letters - 110 Ditto Ace:dents - 124-243 Total . 393 in-Patients discharged . . - 139 Remaining in the Hosyna. . • 179 THE: BRITISH PRESS. 4 , .44; OLT Y BUSINI:SS.

A petitioa was presented from Mr. Thomas Jonathan Wooler, relative to his having been refused to be admitted as a Student of the lion. Society of Lincoln's Inn, and praying the Court to peti tion the Legislature to procure an amendment of the Law in that respect, which being read, Mr. NVooler addressed the Court in support of his petition, and it was referred to the Committee for General Purposes to consider the saute and report their opinion thereon. A petition was presented from sundry Freemen, inhabitants of the Ward of Cnpplegate Without, praying the Court to apply to Parliament for an Act to repeal the disqualifying claims of the Act relative to Elections in London ; which being read, was re ferred to the General Purpose Committee tp consider and report. Two petitions were present d from the inhabitants of the 'Ward of %%airy and Dowgete, ! pr improvements at Brick-hill-lane, Lipper Thames -street, and Greenwich -street, which were read, and referred to the City Lands Committee to consider and report.

The resolution was ordered to be advertised; and it wu referred to the City Lands Committee to superintend the carrying the resolution into execution.

The hounds found almost immediately on entering the cover, and went away in excellent style; but in a sharp run of upwards of an hour Reynard escaped under favour of the snow-flakes, which fell so densely that, com. bined with the impervious obscurity of the vapottr, not true of the horsemen ever saw the hounds during the chase, but followed them by the echo of" the tongue." Se►eral gentlemen who rode from Cheltenham to enjoy the day's sport were unable, in " the darkness visible," to find the hunters they had sent on before them to the cover, and were obliged to return on their jaded hacks.—Chtlteu. horn Chronicle. MRS. HORN! AND HER CHILD. [From the Guernsey Sta• or Saturday, Dec. 3.] CONSPIRACY. TIM IMO V. DE CAMPOURCT, DE JERSEY, AXD BROCK. The interest which these causes have excited in the public mind was fully apparent on last Saturday, when they were heard and de termined. The first trial which was heard was that of M. De Campourcy. He was thus indicted :—" The Crown (Accra indict M. Louis de Campourcy, of the parish of St. Jarvis. in France, that he be ad judged to such pain and penalty, corporal chastisement, or tine, as the Court shall deem lit, for having, on the 31st of August or let Sept. 1825, either alone or with other accomplices, taken away, or plotted, or participated in the taking away, of Laura Eliza Home, daughter, under age, of the Rev. Thomas Home, who had been placed under the surveillance of the constables of the town by the Royal Court ; and also of having concealed her from the said day, Ist September, 1825. to the 10:11 November, or thereabouts, in contravention to the prohibition of the Court, as contained in a warrant issued by the said Court, on the 3i September, 1825." Alter a trial of considerable length, the majority of the Jurats con demned him to a fortnight's imprisonment in the public gaol, and to all costs. The caae bring proved against M. de Campoureyi Alr. John de Jeracy's indictment was next read. With the ex ception of the name, at was exactly similar to that of M. de C., and he was sentenced to one month's imprisonment in the public gaol, and to pay all costa. Mr. J. Brocies indictment was next read. It differed from both the others in this, that it contained the Fe eon d charge only, namely, that of haring participated in the concealment of Laura E. Horne. The King's Procureur's conclusions in this cause were, that Mr. Brock should be adjudged to pay a fine of 601. Tonrnois to his Ma jesty, and all his costs. Several of the Jurats were of opinion to tine Idr. Brock, but a majority sentenced him to receive a repri mand only, which was immediately given him by the Bailiff: During the trials the Court was crowded to excess, from their commencement at noon to seven o'clock in the evening. LATE Fists AT EDINBENOH.—The subscription opened in Edinburgh for the sufferers by the great fires in that city appears to have been so successful that more than enough was raised. What to do with the surplus became then a question, and, after one or more discussions on the subject, we find, from the following paragraph in the Edinburgh Observer, that a decision has been come to : •• BALANCE OF THE FUND RAISED FOE RELIVE OP SUE - FERE It! If If THE LATE FIME.—On Tuesday the sub-committee again met in the Council Chamber, and, after some discussion, it was resolved to recommend that a small part of the surplus fund should be sent to the sufferers by the late fire at Illiramichi ; that a part of It should be appropriated to assisting in establishing a House of Refuge as an experiment (it being thought that our Brideisell, if made a place of real punishment, and managed as the Glasgow one is, would supersede the use of such an Institution), that the greater portion should be set apart ns a distinct fund for the relief of persons who may corporeally suffer by future tires in the city." EIfIiAORDINARY FECUNDITY.—On Monday morning, a setter bitch, the property of a gentleman residing in this town, whelped nineteen puppies at one litter.—Cheltenham Chronicle. EXTRAORDINARY PRESENCE OF MIND IN • CHILD. —Two days back a little boy, named Thomas Curd, his mo ther a widow and dress-maker, in Broadwall, Illackfrisrs-road, being left in the house alone, with an infant sister in the cradle, between twelve and one in the day, accidentally set fire to his clothes. A gentleman next door, named Rogers, hearing hint WfILAM murder, ran out and knocked at the door, a hich was opened to hint by the boy himself. The hair of his head was burnt off, the flesh of his neck, ann., chest, and face burnt to a frightful extent, no vestige of his clothes remaining but what stuck to his blistered skin like tinder. In this shockingstate,forgethil of his own agonies. the first word he spoke was, " go up, go up, my sister will be burnt." Upon Mr. Rogers ascending to the room, it was found to be tilled with smoke, occasioned by the boy's throwing water over himself to quench the fire.

A discussion arcse as to whether the pspers.which had been brought into Court should not be impounded, w.th a view to their production in a suit which it to be instituted to decide the question originally brought forward in the shape of a motion for an in. junction.

IN THE MATTER OF SIR G. PAGE TURNER. Mr. Nutt! mons alluded to the application which had been made on a former day fur an advance of 5001. to Lady Turner. He said that the committee felt great difficulty in acceding to the de. mand, as she had already received the sum of 1.900/. ; they were anxious to be indemnified before they advanced any additional money. The LORD CHaNcet.t.on sqid, he had no means of knowing that 1,9001. were not sufficient. or that an additional sum of 5001. was required. Why did not the Master report what was fit for Lady Turner to receive? Her Ladyship's Solicitor said that the committee ran no risk in making the required advance, for whether the Commission was tra versed or not, the lunatic's family must be supported. Lady Turner was at present in very great distress. She had in fact re ceived but 900/. of her husband's property, for two payments of 5001. each. made to her, were far her own pin-money. Mr. PurwasobE observed that the Committee were anxious that something should be done for Lady Turner. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that tint only the committee, but every body else, was desirous that he would do more than he should. Before he proceeded further, he wished for an affidavit, stating that the required aunt was absolutely necessary. After a short interval, an athilavit to that effect was put in, and his Lord ship said be should give bit opinion to-morrow. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, THVRIDAY, Dtc. 8. The Court was occupied the entire of the day in heating causes of no public interest. COURT OF KINCIt. OuziDRALL, TUUASDAY, The Lord Chief Justice this day, pursuant to adjournment, sat at Nisi Prins to hear common jury cases. in the Guildhall, Lon don, where he will continue to sit till Christmas. MONTRIOU c, JEFFRIES. The tote plaintff is an atlomey . practising in London, and brought this action cover 94L, being the amount of bit bill for profes sional business done for the defendant. Mr. SCARLETT., Mr. GURNEY, and Mr. SToags conducted the plaintiff's case, and Mr. MARRYATT that of the defendant. Mr. Jeffries is a farmer, residing in the parish of Long 31elford, in Suffolk. The small tithes, which from time immemorial have been paid be a modus, had been demised by the clergyman to a Mr. WarnfOrd, an attorney. This gentleman, desirous of break ing down the moduli, demanded that these tithes should be paid in kind ; and for this purpose summoned Mr. Jeffries and eleven other farmers to appear before two magistrates, under a statute passed in the 7th and Bth of William 111, which gives the magis rates jurisdiction to decide summarily in certain cases of this kind. The summonses were for the fah of Nov. 1821. Mr. Montriou, the plaintiff, happened at this time to be.in this neighbourhood on other business, and he was consulted by Mr. Jeffries and the other parties, against whom the summonses had been issued, on the best means of resisting this claim. Mr. Montriou was under the neeea sity of returning to town before the day for hearing these sum. mouses, but he, having advised with Mr. King, an attorney re. siding in the neighbourhood, in the habit of acting as clerk to the magistrates, and having together with him examined the Act of William. gave him instructions how to proceed. Twelve sum 'mows had been issued, and as it would have been inconvenient for all the parties to travel a considerable distance to go before the ' magistrates, Mr. Montriou told them that it was not necessary for them all to attend, and that the whole matter might be settled by the hearing on one summons. Mr. Jeffries accordingly, and one 'or two others, only attended. Mr. King, who was acting as the agent of the plaintiff; told the magistrates that the Inhabitants meant to resist this claim on the ground of a modus, but that they were not at that time prepared to go into the evidence to support it, nor to state what was the specific nature of the months, and he, on their part, begged therefore that the matter might be adjourned : the magistrates had no objection to adjourn the investigation of it, but Mr. Warnford would not consent, unless his costs, which amounted to 22 guineas on the twelve summonses, were paid. Mr. Jeffries, and the other persons with him, would not consent ; and the Magistrates were therefore compelled to make an order for the payment of the tithes in kind. The Magistrates were afterwards desirous of reviewing their order ; but ‘Varnforti would not con. sent to this, and Mr. Alontriou advised an appeal to the Sessions. The 31agistrates, in Sessions, thought that they had no authority to overhaul the order w hi c h h ad been already made, but they drew up a case, and removed the m a tt er , b y a writ o f cert i orar i, to the Court of King's Bench; and the Court, on argument, affirmed the order of Sessions. The present action was brought to recover the plaintiff's bill of costs, incurred in the course of these proceed. Ingo. The defendant Jeffries and the other farmers had already been put to very great expense, and had paid the costa of Warn. ford ; and they resisted the payment of the plaintiff's demand, on the ground that both his costs and the various expenses to which they had been put had all originated in his want of due skill, caution, and attention, in the very first stage of the proceedings. The Acts of 7 and 8 William, which has been referred to, dces not give the Magistrates any jurisdiction to inquire into the sufficiency of the modus, a question of far too great difficulty for such a tribunal. The material part of it, as it bore on this cause, is a clause which gives the Magistrates power to suspend their order for the payment of the tithe in kind, on the notice being given to them in writing that such payment is resisted, on the ground of a mining, and that the parties are ready to give security for the cost s , in case they should be defeated, on an investigation of the sufficiency of the modus before a competent tribunal. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, in summing up, told the Jury that it' they were of opinion that the plaintiff had not advised with due professional skill, and with that attention which a prudent and cautious man would have used, then they would find for the de fendant. Ile did not mean, however, to be understood as saying that the plaintiff was to be ousted of his claim merely because he had committed an error. The plaintiff was not to be required to know all the law ; no attorney was, no counsel, no judge was re quired to know all the law. If on the other hand they thought there had been no wan: of diligence of skill, they would find for the plaintiff. The Associate having as usual called upon the Jury to consider their verdict, while they were putting their heads together for that purpose, Mr. SCAREITT said, he would for the present consent to a non_ suit, in order that this claim might hereafter be more fully three tigated.—Plaintiff nonauited. MOOlir N.P. V. LANODON% The plaintiff, Mr. Peter Moore, M.P.. is the cha'rtnan of the British Annuity Association, and this aetioa was brought by him in that capacity to recover 2201.. the deposit morey on the purchase of an annuity. This annuity had been put up for sale at Garra. way's Cake-house, and for the purpose of deceiving pu'reltsiters as to its value, was described as a rent charge of IOU!. a year, issuing out of a large freehold estate in the county of Carmarthen, consist ing of five diathict farms. It was purchased by an agent of the Association and 2201. paid down as •deposit. Oa examination. however. of the estate from whence this annuity was to spring, it was discovered to Ds so far from the large unencumbered estate which it had been described to he, in point of fact let out at a rack. rent of 1111/. a year, and to be charged with the payment of 1,600/. on the death of an old lady. who now holds it. There was no de fence, and accordingly a verdict was girea fo; the pla!ntiff.—ba magcs '2201. COMMON PLEAS, Ttr,pltib . 1 "DO • .t, .• •• • • rs d Midditscalebre Lord ChirY Jeetice 4 T 011i4 Comgrowiti SLANDER. TTUT p. 'ARSONS. This was an 'schen for slander. The plaintiff carries on memy eitensive business aa a baker, mid complained that the defendant, with an intent to injtiratile in his business, had falsely end mali ciously said that he haft bren convicted and 6r.. , ,1 4001. for mink c platter of paris wit h the flour with which be made his tread, in consequence of which false and slanderous words the plata uff h... suffered very material injury. • The defendant pleaded Not Guilty. Mr. Sergeant VAUGHAN stated the facts of the ca.le to the Jury. The nature of tbis action had been already mentioned to them. It was one whiCh involved the credit and character of both pasties very Materially. Action* for wards spoken slanderously dffikred both in nature and degree, and they oftentimes betrayed mote of the soreness than the soundness of character on the pert of (hose who brought them. BUt in the presence instance, although the plaintiff had no disposition to involve the defendant in litigation, had he only made that decent and common apology which was lic enser, under the circumstarces l yet, since he had refused to coat. ply with so reasonable a proposition, the plaintiff owed it to.,his character to bring the matter before a Jury. The circumstances of the case were very short and very Minsk. -The plaiutiff resided in High.street, Alarylebonc, and was what is celled a cheap baker. lie certainly sold his bread on cheap terms, but that was a circum stance which neither he nor the Jury would be very likely to urge as a matter of serious complaint against him, prinrided the article which he sold them was of as good a quality as what others charged a higher price for. As a proof that such was the case, the single fact of his extensive side was sufficient. He nes in the habit of baking from sixty to eighty sacks of flour weekke, end was not only carrying on this large trade in London, but had also a great con newton in all the neighbouring villages. Hia name indeed had ac. quired such celebrity, that people whir did net deal with him availed themselves of it, and pirated it by writing up, in large characters, " Tilt's bread sold here." Going on thus, he about three months ago was extremely surprised to find that his business was suddenly and most rapidly diminishing. Unable to account for the falling offof his customers, he set about making inquiries into the cause, and he presently discovered that it arose from some false and ma. lignant calumnies that had been very industriously circulated by the defendant, had the misfortune to be a baker himself. COURT: Adjourned S, Mr. SergetinttVlLDE—No, he is nct a baker; he has the misfortune to be a coacbmaker. • Mr. Sergeant VA UGHAN—Oh ! I thought he had been a baker, but it happens that he has s tenant who is so. which varies the caaa but a very little. The Learned Sergeant then said, that on the plaintiff making inquiries of his friends why it was they discon tinued to deal with him. their answer was, •• Really and truly we cannot take - your bread any longer, Psr we understand it has beets adulterated." Conscious of this being a most gross and unfounded calumny, he tried to trace it to its source : and for that purpose asked of those who informed of it, who was their authority for say ' ing so ? and at last it was traced up to the defendant, Mr. Par ' eons. It then became necessary to see the defendant on the sub ject ; but he neither would give up his author nor make an apology fm the slanderous expressions he had used. The words complained of were spoken by the defendant in the presence of two persons, and were uttered in the shop of one of them. The words were—'• Have you heard what an unfortunate job has happened to Mr. Tilt ?" The person to whom he addressed himself answered •• No, what is it ?" To which the defendant replied—" Wby he is fined 400/. for using plaster of patio." The Jury would observe that the whole turn given to thin slanderous and false imputation was most malignant. The defendant did not merely talk of something that had been rumoured to the detriment of the plaintiff 'a character, but he openly and broadly woke of an actual conviction; thus de daring thkt the flaintiff had not only been tried, but had no defence to make, and had been convicted and tined by the Magian - airs—and for what ? for using plaster of pain in his bread —one of the most obnoxious ingredients that could be used ; for it was of such an indigestible nature that the s to mach would nut receive it, and would render the bread impossible to be eaten. Upon mak ing this discovery, of course the defendant wet forthwith called upon, and the plaintiff being desirous, if possible, to avoid a lawsuit had hint remonstrated with, and he was then told that if he would only make a suitable apology he should hezr nothing more about it. But that gentleman would not do any such thing. Ile was then asked to give up his author, or to state upon what grounds it was that he fottnded this report. For, though it might appear that he had been indiscreet to report any rumour that he had heard, yet the plaintiff considered it would still be quite a different thing from being the author of it himself t but he could give none, nor the leant reason for the circulation of it. The plain tiff was therefore left in a,situation in which he owed it to his °art character to bring this action, in order to give the defendant an op portunity to prove the truth of those words if he could, and to jus tify himself in making use of them. Buono such jestification had been pleaded. He had denied altogether his having uttered them, and said, by his plea, .that he was not guilty of circulating such A report. Therefore the Jury were not called upon to try the question whether the word! were qua; it *As not pretended by the-detenclint that they were xi; the only thing the Jury had to ascertain was, whether this gentleman ho d used them. With regard to the da mages he would observe, that although in an action of this kind special damages were not necessary to be shown becanse the words were in themselves actionable, yet it would be proved that the plaintiff had sustained considerable injury by the conduct of the defendant - , and that many-persons had- difteatiaaefftitallogarlth him in consequence of the reports to which the defendant had given currency. The Jury would bear what the Waimea efvlbStplaintiff had been previously to this injurious report being made, and how much it had declined since then. The plaintiff woulcdbave been less than man if he had submitted to the imputation cast.upon his character, and he was perfectly justified in calling upon the de fendant to give an account of his conduct. The business of the plaintiff had decreased one-half within these three months, and that circumstance must be earthed to the defendant, who, if not the author, wan the first mover of this most malicious calumny. The Jury would impartially consider what were the injuries the plaintiff' had suffered, and would give him a verdict, though temperate, yt t such as would be commensurate with the damages he had sus tained. John Robins, a master baker, examined by Mr...flesgeant TAnDY—I remember being present about three months ago, when Mr. Parsons and Mr. Wells, who is afro a baker, were tc gether. Mi. Parsons came into Mr. AVells's shop, in the evening., and said. " Have you heard what an unfortunate job has happened to Mr. Tilt? Mr. Wells said, No; What is it? Parsons replied Tilt is fined to the amount of 4001. for using plaster of pads; he did not say )tow it was used. I said that such a thing could not be done, and he said it could, for he (Tilt) had a copper to boil it down. No one else was present. I then went awes. 4fter that, I mentioned the circumstance to another person, at a public-house. and I then received a letter from Mr. Tilt, requesting me to gag up my author, which I did. _ _ Cross-examined by 31r. Sergeant WILDE, the defendant is a coachmaker. ..... By 31r. Fergeant TADDY—He lets a house ton baker, ar.l formerly carried on that business himself. It is about ten or twelvi. years since he was in the trade. John Moore examined by Mr. Caateart.r.—l collect the flour sacks from the plaintiff. who carried on business in a very large way. I used to collect between 60 and 79 nag a-week. About three months ago a great diminution in the number of sacks tail place—full hail has fallen off, and I now only collect about i 0 a week. W. Coats examined—l have been in the habit or dealing with the plaintiff; and used to sell his bread by retail. Until within the, last three months, 1 was in the habit of selling IN. or 91. worth weekly; since then, I have only sold about St worth a-week. Mr. Sergeant WlLDE—Unless my Learned Friend intends i. , connect this with the defendant, I submit that it cannot be con. • sidered as evidence. The Loon Cuter Juswrce—Certainly not. I shall expect that they will show that this falling off of the wittness's trade yes ' in Consequence of the renort made by the defendant. Mr. Sergeant VAUGHAN said- he should proceed to prove that. Witness—The consumption began to decline about 3 rodntlie ago. My customers knew that it was Tilt's bread. The bread • was just the 'eyrie in quality as before. I did not know the reason for the decline for some time. I afterwards heard what it wit; then I dldnei wonder why my sale fell off. The Lotto enter Jurricr—This is not the course to pur sue. The whole case at present appears to depend nubs!, on hearsay evidence. Mr. Sergeant VAUGHAN asked whether it would not be suffi cient for him to show that these customers discontinued to dent with the wittiest, in consequence of the rumours that had been - culated by the defendant ? The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.--Yea, but yon mutt show that the defendant either informed the witness himself, and that he diss • continued to deal with the plaintiff in consequence, or you mita . show that the defendant spoke the words to this witLess's cus tomers, and then you must call them to prove that fact, and that they discontinued to deal with the witness In consequence of such • information. I will not receive the evidence as at present given. • for this reason, because it may so happen, assuming that the dee fendatit is a elanderer, that there are other slanderers in the world : and those parties may have used the same expressions. You must trace the words directly to the defendant, otherwise it is mere hearsay evidence, and you will be making this man answer for the sins of the whole world. Call the persons who forbore to buy,- and prove that they forbore to buy in contequenteof the defendaut's speaking these words.
