This was an action for slander. concerning tehe plaintiff in his! et:inner of an attorney of the Court of liiog's peach. importing I that he hail forged a will for the d e f e ndant's f a th e r , and heel there.' by defrauded the defendant of property. The deferrtiant p1e.1.111 the general name. not guilty. 3lr. (Warty (with whom was Mr. Platt) stated the plain- i trtf case. and paid that his client was compelied to hring this ac. non for the vioilic.atimt of his character, against one et the most serious Marks that could he made upon the reputatiim of en attorney. The dander complained of had !wen so Cliquently retteraced. that. however disposed the !dahlia might hare been to treat it with contempt, and stand upon the known inte grity of hit character. he at length had no alternative hot to t lent his reputation before a Special Jury of the county. Th.: plaintiff was a emyeetattle attorney, re.l.!4tg rat finttalmittg,: Jews be (Me. Gurney) bait known personally, ha a period .4 1 twenty Tears, to be a man of unquestionable honour and integrity. lie had been employed professionally by the defendant's father, who was • small firmer. madding in the neighbourhood of that tows; and among other polemslonal business, had made his will.l The state of tint testater's family and property, having varied from time to time. the pl.lintiff was called upon to alter the will to meet these circumstance,. The Eat will made, was in the year 10%, by which the testator equally divided his property among Its children, four in number, ten. boys and two girls. For some reason or other the defendant, who ea. not the eldest sun, took it into his head that be ought to have rcorived a larger portion of his father's pro pen), and imagined that the last will and testament of his tithe:. was not genuine, but hod been fabricated by the plaintiff. Under this impression lie thought proper. on various occasions, to circulate report that the phirtitr hail forged a will for his father for the pnetiose of ilefrandiir him, the defendant. So serious en Lion' could out but bare the most injurious tendency, as it affected the plaintiff's character. for. notwithstanding his known respectability and integrity among his inane. dime friends rind connections, it could rot but iajute hint in a point th..• most vital to the existslice of a prutessiunal man. The plaimilf v.iw sought a recompense few this grievous ia. jury. and he trusted that the slur) would mark their se n se of the tiefeadatit's amino by Visiting bun with exemplary ihamagi s. The i defendant 11,e• freguetaly boasted that lie could pure the truth of notwidastanding his bravadoes open this subject. he bad tut dewed to put a just ideation upon the record. lie had' sbirely dent.',! the sp,:akieg in the •mila alleged. and thcrethre all that ( P e plaintiff had to do was to prove in evidence that the words age spoken:. Probably, as sheothar side. it would be urged that the defendant was a very poor man and wholly unable to pay mellitus damages. Ile (Mt. O. however. believed that the defendants ciretottetances were far front moderate; but assuming hint to be pour. that Wa4 by nu means a legitimate topic to urge in answer to the plaintitrs himeautte, if it Ir..re allowed, poverty would in all cares lie a -eceipt for the must wick•,t and vindictive spirit to 'chewy unpimieheir. If the detensii . int could not pity in pocket he must par in parson, and the &aim:Thad a right to expect at the hands of the Jury, such an amount of damagen its would satisfy the world of the haleness and malignity of the attack upon his re . . . • • The following witnesses were eailed in support of the plaintiff". CWIC :-. Mr. Abhint, an attorney of New lan. proved the admission of the phi= in' as an attorney of the King's 'tench. ticorge Price produaed a will of the late 3h. Holloway, from Doctors' Commons. Mr. John ).each proved that ' e knew the plaintiff and his late partner, Mr. Sttecter, who now fowled in America, and was ac quainted with the h;tisl-writing of both. TLe linnil. writings, as witnesses to the will row produced of 12th October, ldeff, were those of the plaintiff and his partner. Mr. D. 6harpe, formerly articled clerk to the plaintiff; proud, 'he signature of the testator to the will in question. Mr. Jehti (or, formerly clerk tc the plaintiff; proved that the will now produced was prepared by witness in the plaintiff's office. He produced the original draft. Witness received his instruction* from the plaintiff Defendant's father was a client of the plaintiff. Hoe seen drafts of other wills in the plaintiff's office, of i slet dates ; to the one now produced. The will wiss then put In and read. The testator described him.l self as yeoman. aid appointed John Woods and Juhn Baxter his executors, upon certain trusts thersin mentioned. He divided all his property among all his children, share and share alike. He had two noes and two daughters. The Rev. tf. 11. (k):e. vicar and surrogate of the parish in which the testator died. proved that in June 1816, the executors produced the will to hint widi a view to probate. In Angie.. of! List year, the defendant canie to whites*, sod requented him to pro cure a copy of his father's will for him, trim I/ex:tors' Commons.; IS - Wiest, in pursuance of this request, wrote to Mr. Moore of! Doctors' Commons. from whom he received an answer. Defendant afterwanis called upon him. Witness elated that Mr. Moore had'. replied that lie could seed a copy of the will, which had been rroved before witness, but lie should wait tie further instructions, thinking there was some mistake. The detindant said be Mil not want the copy of that will, but of amither, which he supposed to t Ash The defendant mid that Mr. %l'unsle • the plaintiff, had the. lrauded him (or used words to that effect) by preventing the! ! rigid will front beieg sworn to. Four or live years previously, I in 1817. the defendant caller! upon bunt (a few mouths after the ex ecutors lied appeared before MailleSa. and had sworn to the will)1 and caamplait.td of the executors. Ott the flat of February last, witness met the defendant and the plaintiff by appointment, at the house of Mr. l'irgott, in Guildbed. On that occasion the conversation began by the plaintiff mirntioning the libellous tercets which had been eirctilated by the tit tentlant. He said to the de (evident, ": I meleretand that you live reported that 1 was inetru mental in forging a will, and that I bait already defrauded you," or words to that effect. Ile immediately requested him to make an apology, or he must otherwise vindicate his character by low, but he was silting to forgive him, and •o take no further notice of the 'dander, if the defendant would make a proper apology. The defendant said. " that I have said, I will NUMIti to." Ile afterwanls said, •• 'There were two wills Ina& by my fattier, and the wrong will has been swum to." lie then mita the plamtitrand the executors had kept back toe right one, and that they hail de. !feuded him. %Vitness remonetrated with the defendant very strongly, and requested hint more than once to make nn nrolouy to the plaintiff, pointing out the conceiuernes if he did nut. but he refused to do so. lie refused, as if be was obstinate in his deter mination. Cross-examined--The tit fondant seemed on all occasions when witness $3lll him, to be unilir a strung delusion that there was an. otl•cr will. From his pertinacity upon this subject, the defendant appeared always. in Wlthela . ll opinion. to be of weak mind. The detendant near stated any ground for the assertion he had made rtep.cting his father's will, except that his father toll him that he might expect allure money. The defendant is a jobbing tailor in a small war. - ma* i'iggott, an auctioneer of Guildford, deposed that on the 7111 F breary last, lie easy the defendant near Cie Court House, in Cie town, about eleven or twelve o'clock. It was a market day. Witness was going to speak to the plaintiff, who was then on the other side of the street. Ain, speaking to the plaintiff on his own business, the plaintiff said, " Do you know who that little fellow is on the other side of the way ?" pointing to the defendant. {fitness said, 6 . Yes ; it is John Holloway." The plaintiff then said, " I wish you would walk across the road with me. to him, fly lie is always abusing me whenever we come toge thee." Witness went across with the plaintiff. and the latter said to the defendant, " John, you are continually abusing me whenever 1 pass up and down the town ; I wish you would explain what you mean to Mr. Piggott." They then adjotimed to the lied Lion Inn, in order to discuss the matter. It'itness said to the defendant, " Now, John, what have you to say respecting Mr. Woods ?" The defendant said, " Mr. V. has made two wills for my father; the last will fel. 11118 my father never Piped, and he has defrauded me out of my property." The plaintiff then requested witness that he m ig ht base the 1.1%: of his house for that day fottnight, the 21st, fur the porpoise of going Into this business again, In order that Mr. Cole and Mr. Itaxter might be present. The language above mentioned was repeated mere than twice. The defendant addressed both plaintiff stud wit ness at diffirent times. Witneu understood the will of Ira , tp mean the last will proved. (In the 21st February the plaintifl; ex fcrulant. Mr. Cole. and Mr. Itaxter, met at witness's house, put. ruant to appointment. The plaintiff then said to the defendant. 1" Now these gentlemen air met, explain yourself what you mean by abusing me in the town whenever Tint inert me." The defend. ant then nilibv.sed himself to the plaint:lr, and said, " Why. you have made two wills fur my father, and the will for 11116 my father never signed, and you here defrauded me out of nit property." Witness remonstr.iteal with him, and the defendant gut very warm. Witr.r.ss said to itim, " John, you hese received your legacy, and you have signed a legacy receipt." lie dnui I it. The legacy re cep was shown to with his own signature, and witness said,' •'s that your handwriting, Holloway ?" lle said it was. After that the plaintiff proposed to give the defendant that afternoon to route forward and apologise for the abuse, and said if be did so he should think to more of it. The defendant took his hat in his hard, and going out of doors, said lie would rut in gaol first. The eterressions abovernentioned were tis.al trice, once to witness and again to the plaintif l'ens...exiimined—The defendant ts sensible enough. Witness has not said, since the aspires comminicvd, that he would not be ru:peoted to hear that the defeneant was fvueol at the bottom of the river. The defendant is a talk r, and has a Lttle property. Hoes not Lam, where he is now. liecn;,.lCe . eper of the house of correction a. I;ttiLlforl, said he has Ireeuently heard the defendant say, "111 r. Woods 'made a forged will ' of my father's, and has robbed rue of some of ms , pro , petty." Iles heard him say this many tinais within the Lust four ix tire years. Cross-examined—Witness has represented the defendant to be a weak and obstinate man. Newer Lard the peinutfaay thut the defendant was a madman. . . . Mr. John Siurr, son-le•law cf the t .fates, proved that he at. tended the funeral of the bitter, at which the ilifend..nt wu pre. sent. The will was rend that day In the presence of the defendant, and then he said he thought It was r.ot his father's a ill. Witness , asked him why be thought so. lk replied, that he thought it was ! not his father's will. becalm the sail of the envelope, in which tl.e will was, was broken. The defendant had said he thought he. should hare had 53t11. The property was diridol, share and share 'dike. amongst the testator's children. Before theme fin the plaintiff wns eland, Mr. Buell flit all A SI sui.;geszed, that possibly the plaintiff would, Under all the circuit. statues, be satisfied with an apology. Mr. Sergeant Tanne said, en Windt of his client, that he was quite willing to niake a public atonement for the injury done to the plaintiff's chara.itir ; lie (Mr. Sergeant T.) being quite satisfied that there was rot the dishiest pretence for the imputation east urn the rlaititith Mr. ti u sr r said he drat t id the sincerity of the defendant's contrition, because abundant opptxtunity tad been afforded him, without avail, of retract* • . The apology of his Learned Friend the Sergeant, would 'be insufficient. unless it was made manifest in the result of the defendant's own sense of his miscoedur. It v7its cratedll;;lthedetentlant was not in the town, and that no ttrecu evold then be Lad to him. Mr. Sere ellra TAIPPY then addressed the Jury on behalf of the defendant, and submitted to them, that the discussion which this case had undergone, must have ruby answered the purpose for which the meths) was brought—namely, the complete vindication of Mr. %Void's character. Iraletal the action soil unnceessary for that purpose, because no man who knew that gentleman could bare thought the worse or him, from any thing that could be said of Imo by a ',triton of the defendant's humble con. dition of life. The defendant cans a poor 4ounicytioko tailor, and seemed, from the time of his father's death, to have laboured under a strange delusion as to the disposition of his father's pro. perty. It was !iiiite idle to suppose that the plaintiff's reputation could be et all affected by the gossiping slander of the defendant, who was admitted to be a risen) of wer.k imellect, and labouring ur.drr an obstinate delusion of mind upon that paritcolar subject. Assuming that the words were true, it was quite obvitata that the plaintiff could litive on interest whatever in thedistribution of the testator's pet-inert)... which appeared to have been most justly dia -1 tributed among el his children. The very gist of this action had !completely failed in proof, inasmuch as the defendant did not ap. pear to have acted from malicious motives; but if niulice had been ;roved. the slankir uttered by a person of his condition was beneitl: the notice of • gentleman of the plaintiff 's respectability. !Injury the plaintiff hail sustained none ; because it appeared that fir the last nine 'nes this tinfortnnate man had been yeoman; the very same winds w Aunt at all affecting the plaintiff's reputation, and consequently. on the score of damage, the plaintiff' stood before the Jury without any serious claim whatever. Heart damages against this infatuated defendant could avail the plaintiff nothing, anti would have the effect of casting the defendant into a gaol for life. . Mr. llaron ()lianas( told the Jury, that the plaintiff was clearly entitled to their verdict. because it was quite ohviuus th a t the defendant had been actuated by the most malignant motives towards a gentleman of respectability and character. They had been truly told by the plaintiff's Counsel, that character to an attorney was life and soul to hint t for without it he amid not hold up his h...ad in snciety, and niust be riffled in all his professional iuniuits. The circumstances of the defendant ought certainly to be taken into consideration in enlisting the damages, lest a ver. diet to an intemperate amount ml leave the effect of minishing hint beyond he scope of justice. Maticcer, it was for the Jury, in the exercise of their gaol sense. to Pronounce such a verdict as would repair the Jujus" , to the pisintiff's character, without overwhelming the defendant with the tinsequences of the action. The Jury, after deliberating a few inutcs, found their verdict for the plaintiff--Itainages, 101. 1 AVT.ONESHAT. A* IST 24. • 0,1; , re Mr. Baron (iR•HASI and a Special Jury. THI: KINO V.

The trial of this cause is expected to occupy two days, in conse gum _e of the Maltase number 'if witnesses to he examined on both sides. The prosecutors are occupiers of lands in the No of Grain, which is situated between the Thames and the Medway, opposite bliccrness, in the county or Kent.

The defendant had been indebted to Sir. Chandler and Mr. Barnard respectively, for stone articles which they had sold him in the way of their trade. The property which they were chatged with basing stolen formed part of the building materials alluded to. At the Surrey Summer Assizes in that year the defendant had indicted these individuals for the robbery, but the Grand Jury ignored the bill. At the Kingston Sessions following be preferred the indictment above , mentioned, upon which Mews. Barnard:sad ('handler wen tried and acquitted. before the case for the defence sal closed. On that occasion the delendard. Mr. Hushes, was examined as a whness, and an hit rto6o.rrallilaallOT Mr. Adolphus denied, among, other matters, that he had ever said to any body. after the bill was thrown out at the Guildford Assizes," that if Barnard and Chand ler were In any way tnsablesome, he would bring on the case again in March following, if it cost him 301/., and that they had better be quiet." Be also Raid that a watchman, named Sugar, had in. formed him of the robbery the next morning after it took place, and that Chandler and Barnard had gone together about two o'clock on the 11th July into the stable, and that he (the defendant) went Into a loft, where he could see them both, and heard,one of them say, " Theft is that d—al Sugar with Hughes, telling or splitting upon ! up," Or words to that effect. Upon these statements the perjury was now at t.itcnc.l. It was alleged that the defendant had In the first place falsely denied the expression of malice imputed to him; and In the second, that the statement last mentioned was completely false from beginning to end. Several witnesses were examined in support of the indictment. It was positively sworn by Alr. I tarnanl. and by two persons named Scott and Jeffry. that the dele:qhmt. after the (hand .bury had ignored the bill, at the Guildford Summer Aalltra, 111r2, had stated " that if Barnard and I Chandler were in any way troublesonae, he would bring on the cause again next March. if it cost him tool., and that they had better be quiet " Mr. I:handler and 31r. Barnard swore solemnly that they were never together on the defendant's premise, on the I Ith of July. as sworn to by him, and consequently that the de fendant's assertion in that respect was utterly false. Evidence was also given to %hew, that although (:handler had been on the pre. miffs at eight o'clock in the tawnier,. vet that after that hour he was far away from the premises, and had never been near them the rut of the day. Mr. linont Wit addressed the .fury at considerable length, and the grotto] of defence taken was, that although. in point of fact, it turned out that there was no just ground for charging ('handler and Barnard %lilt the robbery, yet the defendant, in g;ving the evidence which he did, was nut actuated by malicious moues, but stated, from the information of others, that which was the founds aion of his belief in the guilt of these persons. It was insisted that the assignments of perjury were not satisfactorily proved, and that at least there was so much doubt in the ease as to entitle the de. fend.ant to an acquittal. Several witnesses were called In support of the ground of defence taken, and it was proved that the defendant hail for a series of years borne a good character for integrity and veracity. 51r.Anotentts replied upon the defendant', case, and con. tended that from first to Ma the defendant had been actuated towards the prosecutors by the intast vindictive spirit, and that the charge of felony preferred against thona was the result of a foul conspiracy to prevent them from suing him for money which he owsd them.

At that Mlle 1 had about nine shillings in my pocket, and a hunting watch.

The harvest has commenced throughout Cornwall ; but the very unsettled state of the weather greatly impedes its progress.—Ezeter Affred. The harvest dots not go on so favourably with us (Arun del) as we could wish, the late heavy rains having laid the corn a great deal, and wonderfully retarded the progress of the harvest altogether.— West Susses.

Such is the progress of the harvest in this neighbour hood that the greater part of the corn will bo reaped, should the weather still prove so highly favourable, betore the end of the present week.—lioNton G(e!ette. The late storms of wind and rain bare heat down the (yet uncut) corn in this ncighbourbeod ; but as none of it appears to be water-lodged, *e do not apprehend it will rec-ive much damage, unless a suce,*sion of Wvi weather should follow ; in which case the crops, in quality, would fall very short of what we anticipated at the commencement of the harvest.— West Sussex Alkyl tiser.

Faaxnass, Atm. 11.—The plantations in this district look at present very promising, and a fair average crop is expected---say from seven to eight hundred per acre.

Indeed, this road has been regularly complained of by all the going Judges of Assize for many years ; and, therefore, the Chief Baron very properly told the Grand Jury, that he would fine the county s';:lo/. for not having this road completed, and would hare an engineer employed to make it perfict.
