The declaration stated, that the Defendant, in an answer put in by him to a bill in Chancery, swore that he had not sold certain utensils and stock in trade, the contrary being the tact. The Defendant, it appeared, was joint-patentee wish three persons, of the names of Norcote, Newet, and Graham, of en invention for making casks and other vessels, in a superior manner. Those dine persons gave up the 'matelot and machinery to the Defendant, one quarter of it being secured to pay • certain sum of money annually. The payments not having been regularly made, • bill was filt-cl nt Chancery soloist the Defendant, in wloich it was alleged, that lie had sold off the stock-in-trade and machinery—that he had removed from his usual place of residence—ond Messrs. Norcote, Newet, and Gra h am, had no means of coming on ht or the sum which he was hound to pay. In the We fendent's answer. he stated, that he hail entered into two agreements. He was to pay 7400/. iu the whole-4,000/. when he was put in loosse.sioon of the machinery and stock-in-trade, and 3,2001. by bills, at three, six, nine, and twelve months. It also stated, that he never intended to ),:11 all the stock-in-trade and machinery. What machinery he had sold wes worn out, and brought only the price of old wood and iron. In consequence of this 'answer, the parties who filed the bill were prevent. ed - from cuing out a writ of as creel regeo. They now preferred this indictment for perjury. as they alleged th.it they would prove the fact of the De fendant having sold the machinery and stock-in- trade, Mr. MINYA', for the Defendant, objected, Hirt. in the declaration it was set forth, that " having entered into such an agreement, the De fendant did so and DO:" whereas, lois 110111111er was, that, " hawing entered into such agreements," &c. This the Learned Counsel submitted was a fatal v4riance. Mr. Justice HOLILOTD concurred in the validity of the objection--and, under his Lordship's diner non, the Defendant was found Nu! Guilty. INTLIVII V. OLIMItA. This was an oaten to recover damages for a ma. licions libel, of and concerning the Pl ft', which the Defendant had published, with intent to injows .m in his profession of. school-master. Mr. Guitsur stated the case. as it was after wards detailed in evidence. Mr. R. Brown, of the firm of Keating, Brown. and Co. booksellers, Duke-street, Grosvenor. square. was acquainted with the Pls . who keeps a school. ‘Vitsiess publishes The Laityte Directory, iu which Mr. Mylios's IMMO as inserted.

From the hand-writing he believed it tollave been penned by him. Mr. Oliveira was a 'native of Madeira. The .tale in which the letter was rourlied Was that of a foreigner. Mr. Keating, the partner of the last witness, re ceived a letter in March last, from Mr. Oliveira, re. fleeting on the Plaintiff's conduct. Witness re commended Mr. Mylias's school to the D«fesidant. He knew that the Defendant had vent some young gentlemen to Plaintiff's school. Lie after heard Oliveira •huse the school, after the young gentle men were taken from it. Mr. show., bring again railed, stated that lie had lied some converser' wills Defeeidand before the letter cosine. He found fault with Plaintiff's school, and said he should write a letter about it. The letter to Mr. Keating was then put in mid read. It sweet, that Mr. Keating having been the t aproo t ' who introduced Defendant to Plaintiff, he thought it right to inform him, that Mylius was as low, as Incest, and as vulgar a wretch, as ever exist ed, and lie would be wecfssiated to go to law fur the money he owed him. He could not conceive oil what ground Mr. Keating could recommend such a wretch to him. He hail never half-a-down children of any families of character, in Isle school ; and, if ever lie had, it was by mere chance. A second letter, from Defendant to Plaintiff, was then read. It shoed, that ar the Plaintiff did nut Ichoose, to answer Defeudarit's former letter, he was obliged to address him Hobs. His school was the destruction of youth, and, therefore, he directed I the Plaintiff to return, by the bearer, the books, i clothes, tic. of his son., and to restore to I ' part of the money he hail advanced, when they entered the school, deducting at the rate of 50/. per annum : for the time they were there. If he did tint corn : ply, in 24 hours, an action should be commenced i against I . Mr. Hutchinson stated, that he won Si' CAM in Minutia 's school, at Carshaltins. Defendant sent his three Anna there, in the Christmas holidays, 1817. I Cross-examsined.--They were taken away in March. Half a year's salary had been advance d fur each of them. I Mr. W. Byrne stated, that he was guardian to i two boys of the name of Dr Silva. Ile sent them to Plaintiff's school, twelve mouths ago. Th e y were still there. Some tittle ago the Defendant I called 011 him, and said, he had taken his children ' from the school. which be 'bulled. Shortly after. iwards he raw Mr. Mylius, to whom lie communi t retell what the Defendant said. IJ. George stated, that he had three sons at Plain tiff's school. He heard from Mr. Byrne what Dc- had. at the 4 gentlemen sukject-.4nd (sitars'.) . was remained at before he ,ch surprised at his s. Mr. E. P. Fordhans deposed, that he had called on Mr. Oliveira to inquire into his accusation of the Plaintiff, whom, in the course of conversation, lie called a scoundrel, a villain, and a swindler. He complained of the treatment the boys received at Plaintiff's school—stated, that the meat was served up raw, and that there was not sufficient of it for the children. Witness had sent his sou to the *:hoop three drys previous to this, and called to dis. cover the truth of the reports that had been pro p .gated. -- Byrne deposed, that Oliveira called on him and said, he thought it right, as he laid two boys at the schoo', to put hisu on his guard. fitylitts, he observed, was totally unfit to educate them— that lie was a most notorious swindler—and that lie Defendant) had removed his ions , from the school, On account of bad treatment. He lied, Defendant observed, detained three months ad entice. which was paid, when the children were sent to school. The Imes were fist like swine, and no care was take', of their education. lie advised the witness to take his boys away. Witness said, as to the deteistion of the three months salary, ill advance, it wus the csistutii of the school. there wee no 'wind+ ling it. In the emoting week, he sent for the two boys, and , on examining them. found that they ape a s forward us boys of their age usually were. He also found theist perfectly satisfied with their road. He continued to keep the boys with Mr. Mylitis. Mr. SCA R LETT, for the Defendant contended, Ist, that th e words set forth in the declaration had not been proved, and it was unfair, when a man was called on to defend himself front our charge, to Call on bis without notice. to rebut another—and next. that p./ . • Defendant being a foreigner, and not per fect. e acrquatuted with the English language, might Inure made use of the offensive words coistained in his letters, withost accurately understanding their meriting.

In answer to the charge of misinaii @gement, in not procuring a company worthy of the patronage which he enjoys, Mr. Waters outr mit* the following examination of Mr. Kelly, and correspondence, which clearly prove the extronedi. nary exertions which he has made to procure the b e st talents which the Continent affords; and that if he has failed, it is not from want of teal. activity. and liberality, hut from the caprice and extrava gant demands of foreign artists : On Wednesday, the 3il of him., ISIS, Mr. Kelly was re iterated to attend the Opera Committee at the Thai :bed.

Upon an investigation it was found, that • letter was handed by Madame Outworn?s husband to • person then holding a principal employment in the theatre, to have hero delivered a fortnight back, but which was by some acci dest forgotten. The Mooday following I understood Mr. Waters called on Madams Camporese, to engage her.
