Mr. alasK ma, in opening the case on the part of the Plaintiff, stated, that the Defendant was a very wealthy merchant of this city, so much so, that his constant-boast, from the time of his rising in the morning, to the hour of retiring to his tench to rest, was that of being pnssessed of 40,0001. He was a man, said to be of a very irritable disposition; hut, he insisted, he was a man of a most melevo• lent and malicious mind. The Plaintiff, he oa served, was a respectable sugar-boiler and refiner, and had not been long in business, when the,Defend ant. intending to carry en the same branch of trade, and finding him a competitor, determined to under mine and ruin his credit in the mercantile world ; the Learned Counsel then adverted to the great danger of such insinuations and expressions as the Defend ant had tr=ade use of, which called loudly for the irtrrference of a Jury; nn man's - - edit was safe for a marnent, if such condutt was to be suffered to pass, without a heavy mark of disapprobation by their hands. The Defendant had not accidentally made use of the expressions,.nor had he used them in a moment of resentment, or passion ; lout repeatedly, and premeditatedly endeavoured to ruin this gen tlem tn. The reels were these : the Plaintiff and De fendant, together with several other persons. were at a sale of sugars on 27th of Fehriu.ry last, and a‘ter the snit Verai over, they retired to a neigivimur ing tavern, where they were jeired by Messrs. Austin, Keeps, and some others, amounting is all to seven or eigl.t persons ; here the Nfensfant, leaning across the table on his elbows, asked Aus tin hal he any thing to do with the Plaintiff? saying. rr there, swill he a stoppitae there before the lst of April.* At another time he :Weis, d Mr. Myers, a respeCtable it - ink:hate, to get his money from the Plaintiff as well as he could, as he should soon stop payment. On several other occassons.he ha i re waited the same language, and esea in some instance, (to thew his continual and persevering malevolence) hs had used these expressions since the aetien was commenced. He concluded with a sincere hope, that the Jury w ould visit such wicked and iajuiliAlls conciaa win exemplary Jame '.. res. Oa the evidence of 4r. Ausan , some of these feat came oat, but he could not speak to the par ticular words stated in the deairatinn ; howevet, Mr. Keeps, who was in the tavern at the time, over heard the words, and also spoke to a repetition of them at another period. Mr. Myers stated, that he had sofa a parcel of sugars to the plaintiT; that he had sold them on the !mai- erelft. and took a bill, for them at the customary date; that the . Defendellt called on him the next day, asked had he had shy dealings with the Plaintiff; and advisethitn to get his money as well as he could, insinuating. thateit was ;n a doubt ful w ty. In co-.sequence of this, he applied to the Pliituiff to pay him ready money; but he refused him. it nee elsesietrotelf 'telairenient. declaring he wuulet.easide by his caatracl. The but was after wards regularly paid. hts.,Aethur Young gave some..vhat airzlar testi mony. He said lie had been in partnership with tne Plain . ..ail, who had 13119v/el -the business of a sugar refiner for about twelve ationths. The De ! fendant had met him in East Smithfield, wh-is they had saute conversation about the Plaintiff. worn the latter informed hi'm he• had an iudiatiment against the Iniintir, and would soots have • twenty more, and thit he would nbt rest tnt he should ruin him. On his cross-eaamitafkou, by. the SCAICITOII.• GIeStRA L, torahs Defendatit, he said lie hid heard something of an advertisement' in the papers, se latiag to a wife for the l:efendant, which some wags had inserted in the papers to annoy him. He could not tell who it was; nor did he know the Defendant had been visited by an hell of tlie beauties of the town, is consequence thereof ; our did he know any thing of the twenty-two letters he had received from females. upon that sabjeat. Upon his re-examination by Mr. Garteow, he said he did not believe the Plaintiff had any thing to say to she advertisement, nor had he the slightest reason to think he had. It did lint appear in evidence, that the Defendant WAS going into the same business with the Plaintiff. The Satre malt G IC It AL, in addressing the Jury, in behalf of the Defendant. observed, that he could not but admit that some degree of blame attached to his client, which he would not attempt to justify ; the words had been proved, and it must he admit ted he had made use of them very improperly; the faift, however, was, that he was a man of a very ir ritable disposition, and, whether through misenn caption, or misrepresentation, or, that he might have had some reason to suppose the Plai.itiff had a share in :his advertisement, from which he had ex perienced so much unpleasantness, or, whether from some other circumstance, he was irritated against the Plaintiff, he did not knaw ; but he was satisfied there was not that degree of malevolence in the Defendant's condua which would induce the Jury to give weighty damages—no particular in jury had been specified, and he was sure, under all the circumstances, they would only give the Plain tiff a reasuneble and inoder,ite conspensatiun. Lord E ttttt °ROUGH, having slimmed up the evidence to the Jurys ohserve,l, that in all cases of slander thiy had two questions to consider ; the :ins was, whether the words were spoken with a m pant mina, and with a view to injure the reputation of the party ;•and the other, as to what dames es they would, under all the circumstances, consider the party injured to be entitled to ? In the present case, there was not only a great degree of malevo lence, but it appeared that vets to a very short an tecedet.t period the Defendant had per severed in hr. slander and defamation: they would therefore mea sure the damages by the mind of she party, nod the probable injury sustained. After a short consultation, the Jury found a vet-- dia for the Plaintiff, of 5001. damages. KAY!

This rase excited a considerable ilegree of inter• get among the West-India Merchants in the City ; the parties being well known among them. Tee Court, during the vial, was uncostunielly crowded: Lord Bayning sat on the Bench. °vitae right hand nr the Chief Justice—sad several other N aolemea and Gentlemen, of the firit respectability, extended. • The SOLICITUIt..Gr!triie L., in opening the CAW on behalf of the Plainiiff, °Strewed, that, faith the proceedings in this cause, it behoved every man in future, before he brought an action of slander, to weigh his case well, and know what plea his anta gnnist would file—and, when the slanderer sup ported his slander by such a tele; as :Ida he shauld be particular, especially when he is an Attorney. living by his profession; but 1w should be more peratenlar, when he stoed in a public situation. The Defenda_ ant must prove the fiats statei in his plea. or it is rid' justification; and if the Plaintiff' could not meet those facts, let his situation be ever so honourable, he must ret:re from it. The Plaintiff, in this cue. had obtained a high degree of eminence it his pro. • fession ; he likewise held a public office, in which he had been slandered ; and the Defendant had had. the hardiness to justiiy that slander, so that the parties were completely at issue. At the time of ao iasuerection, which took place in some of the West India Islands (Grenada and St. Vineent't), in the year 1795—by which the West-India Plante: s had suffered considerable. an Ate of Parliament was passed, appointing Commissioners to lend money to .the West-India Merchants who had suffe.reel ; and the Cominivioaers appointed the Plaintiff their S slicker, with a salary of 5001, per annum. the Defendant and his Partner suffered u ider this ealarn;iy, a nd procured a loan from the Commissioners of 1.:0.0001. Acts of Parliament wise also passed a•t• the bor rowers to pay by instalments; and, up o the present year, no lees than iive acts had pe.sed, enlarging the time for the payment of those instalments in the discretion of use commissioners with the consent of the sureties. From the period of the loin to the Defendant in 1795 to the year I 835. he wis ceeti<s nually applying for further indulgence, which from time to tiine was granted by the Commissioners, till at last the Plaintiff, instead of issuing extents and arrestieg him, as under the oilers of the Commis sioners he was bound to do. gave him noti.:e th it he would be proceeded tee:Rasa In this, the Learn-d Coansel observed. the Plaintiff was not justifiable, as it was ao act of lenity towards the Detendant in breach of duty ; and for this he wits told he had op preosed him by a.lls of vexation, that he had exceed ed Isis authority, &:. Li the ye sr 180:i. ten years after Mr. Balite was accomilliated kith this sera of money, he thaiieht proper to publish what he termed " George s Narratice of 8171 eif wad Havre;" to which was added. ao AppAdix, the whole containing 23ii pages, every page of which wis of a libellous tendency against the Plaißtiff ; letters were witten by the Defendant to persons min: Toned in tee am-sena:l. .Thie, libel imputed 5.4 the Plaiigl a r ‘istrfferifes: ontiettereortinienced-a `• sr•••• • %t:i . 7syie:: k',own to my !signals that,y‘uhat *LaiAgit:a ran f6r yea -t; y iittirsthy origixsted in roe oat emialo!iiii yon when I ;r4 wilt into Colon ;it now ;Iro-eeSt from elf ohieeson to the esrels . ..tmice of yloy chasrit visit t Exche quer 81:16.

The letter went on to state several other eharees; that the Plaintiff hail prevailed on site Board to no. press him; that he els° had prevailed °port MG Gordon to withdraw herisell at one of his ,ureties ; &c. &e. This libel was primed at some expence, and tour or live hundred copies diteerninated by the Defendant personally. and also sent to persons who amal•iyed the Plaintiff, who were his kn awn friend's 'l"he Learned Counsel said, he cash not stand the charges of the Defendant, het hoped at hear them stated. What he ha 1 :o 6/sew, went most eemeletely to cnntradia them retire weed of the lihel was falsified by the proceedmgs, and r, was utterlf impossible for the Defendant to prove a single charge against the Plaintiff: tee whole was a gross mistattment of fatis, within his own know ledge. First, then, as to the clairge of his making out an exorhitant bill. A loan of 160,0001. was to be negotiated. Deeds were to be prepared; stamps, fees, Sce. were to be tnade nut, the whole charge amounting t 01871.1 70t: of which Was money advanced out of pocket. He mid Ise should not oelr prove every item of this "111, but die also had several ern:nem professional Gentietcen to prove the charges were most reasonable I bat, shenld any nb jeation ae made to them, as being attorneys, he had two Malys in Chancery presaßt, who would give their ooiainn. The next charge - was, that, by his influence, the Plaintiff had prevai`ed on the Corn miss mei; io riper ess him. In anover to this, Lord EiaynialeM. a Hunter. and severs: other of the Com mission/is who regularly attena-d, were present, anti ready to I.e eramined to the feat. Another charts WAS, that the PlaMtilif perstaed d Mr; Graham to prevail on Mr. Gordon to wittairser himself, ac a surety for the Defeadanta is ansiver to this, also, he bad Mr. Graham to peeve what was the teal het. There WAS. theretote. no excuse settstevtr for the Defendant's no, entering into his own jesatication he had the hardih :pd to state that justifi....etion eaten the records of the Court. If he did r• e gn into is, but rci:rei f: ism It with silence wing intarrr, without going into any evidence, the Jury would rater the reason, and know how to deal with him accord ingly.
