1... alleged printed libel was then read liy the clerk, and compared with it (is set forth in the record). Mr. ADOLPHUS took several objections, on ac count of inaccuracy, but they were overruled by the Court. Mr. GURNF.Y then rose to address the Jury in defence. apparently labouring under seater indispo sition. lie ri quested their indulgent attention to the few ott.ervations he had to otter on behalf of the befend.tid, abich, however, must Ile made under the iliiiadvamage of avatar tttt and fatigue, %Olio?' hud c Uletely overpowered hint, aml really 1.1141E7rd Ilion very unfit for the ta.k under taken. Ile heartily Emir lured in the obaricalion of his Learned Friend, that political feeling ought not to enter into discussion* at the bar ; at the acne lime, he could not help observing, that his Learned Frieutt's practice in the manner of eniiducting this cense little accorded with his professions. His Learned Friend could not truly say that politics hod not been mixed up in the statement of his client's rase. If any person had only heard three fourths or four-lifthe of his Learned Friend's very eloquent speech, hr must have Morelos -it that this was not an action against Mr. Clement, the imp:won of The Observer Newspaper. but sin at .- tints against tlw Secretary of State for illegally Mi lani° • g and eruelly oppressing the Plaintiff. In truth he (Mr, C.;.) believed that she statement which his Learned Friend was WWIINed to make. was attach MOM the object of this action t tau any &- tinges which the Plaintiff conld affect to have sus tained, or CJIBIJ hnoe to get at the hands of the De fendant. It would. to be sure, be extremely hard if the Piebald' could not give himself the must ex cellent of all characters ; and it was to be recollect ed that the character which his Learned Frieed hud given the Plaintiff, was the charseler which the lat ter hart chosen to give of himself; for his Leerried Friend, hr believed, knew as little of Frank Ward, es he did of any other man, whom lie hod never seen before. Therefoee what his Learned Fittond had deseribril as the Plaintiff's original course of life and conduct. was only conformable to Isis cli-nt's instructions ; and he (Mr. G.) would repeat, that it was extremely hard if such a person could not oive himself the best of characters.' fits Learn ed Frieud, however, in the course of his address, had let out some things that were rather extraordinary snow things a little inconsistent with what every 1110111 kIiPW as matter of history—some things which would excite in one's mind • suspicion that the Plaintiff really could not have sustained any istjury or damage from this publication. His Learned Friend would represent to the Jury that the shocking ()titmices which were committed its the neighbourhood of Nottingham, which called for the interference of the Legislature, and which produced in that dos trici a reign of terror, nut unlike that which pre- Tailed during the French Revolution, arrive from the oppression and cruelty of the masters towards their juurneymest ; and that Mr. Ward, recollect lug that hr had once himself been a poor journey- Men, would out treat those persons iu the roves. *ire and extortionate manner in which they had been treated by other mestere. He (Mr. G.) be lieved be might take it as matter of history that this represeutatiun of his Learned Friend was not ouite true ; but whatever was the cause of those stisourbaticee, it was in foreign to the wetter before the .V.ory as to nity other cause tried during the Sittings, or which remained to be tried. His Learned Friend, however, who disclaimed all idea of introducing any political discussions, thought 'noire' to pursue this subject; but he (Mr. G.) was not disposed to follow his Learned Friend in these discussions. He was not here to con sider the wisdom of the law passed on that oc sion—he was merely 'to aunt in the administra tion of the law. bound as lie was to take for ranted that the Legislature acted under the wisest considerations, and that if they were compelled at any time to alter the laws of the land, so as for a short time to abridge the liberty of the enh ject. they did so upon su ffi cient grounds tojus tify such a proceeding. He (Mr. Gurney) would yield to no man, not even to his Learned Flirt's!, an his attachment to the Constitution of his country —he would not yield to his Learned Friend, iis hi, reverence for the Habeas Corpus Act, which had bees called the palladium of Essalish liberty. He reseeded every other part of the Constitution of his country Inn highly. to he digitised to go with his Learned Friend the length of ssying, that if the Habeas Corpus Act should ever he suspended, every British subject would at mice be placed in the condition of • Russian peasant. God forbid that that should be the cunditiun of the peo ple of this country. if such were the case, for then the country would be in the most dread ful state. But if the Legislature should thitok proper to suspend that Act, so far as regarded trea sonable practices, he (Mr. G.) begged leave to state that the co n dition of the subjects of this country was far removed from that which his Learned Friend had described. The greatest part of his Learned Friend's speech was addressed to this point, namely, that Mr. Ward, who, when he ceased to be sure of :wpm's:omit, and ceased to become so object of emstidelice with one set of persons (who those were it 555 ran' to judge), had become an object of dis trust and suspicious with ; that Mr. Wind mss urn-owl—that lie was arrested under a charge of treasonable pr3clisos. and confined front the 10th of June moil slit: lids of November ; and that every possible attempt was mole to excite unfavourable Irsloettlig him. But surely, if Mr. WIWI'S iiiipsismossent was the act el' the F:secutive authority, sold it the Defend:rot was Ignorant ..1 the object of mi. nut one word mod upon 1111111.111Virt could be ap. pvicoble to the case against Mr. Clement, who could have notion;; to do with the Plaintiff's imprison ment. If the Defendant had nothing to do with that act ( juslifiable or not) surely the introductios of such a topic, could only be fur the purpose des rasing an undue oppression against him, and of mak ing him answerable for theconduct of other persons. His Lamed Friend had stated that theyleintiff nod Oren ground down and oppressed. The Jury were out to assume thut merely upon the statement of his Learned Friend, who had also said that the Plaintiff was deprived of the means of set king re /loess, in consequence of the p.issiog of au Act of Indemnity. It was trite that the Legislature had woad •n Act of Indemnity : and amongst outer reason• assigned for that measure ware—first, be. runs., it Was tnturiuu• that a freavinalde conspiracy had existed sit the country—and next, that it would not be sit or inuper that the liver of thole who had given information of such conspiracy shouldbe put iii hazard, from the malice of their enemies, should their mimes he given up. But these con siderations hed nothing whatever to do with the question now before the Court, which simply nod solely was bit injury the Plaintiff had sustain ed from the Defendant ? This was the stogie question for the consideration of the Jury, and that was to be ascertained by discovering, as well as they could, in what the injury consisted. Did they believe that the Plaintiff had mistimed any injori from this publication ? Did they be lieve that dinar who thimelit ill of lion before worthl thnik the worse of him for the article winch appexted it Tire °Forever? Did they be lieve th it those a lin thought well of him before, would think the v oi.e bikini by reading the sup posed hbrl ? 11 they did tint, why then what injure could this Plaintiff have sustained, which would eiltde lam to call upon the Jury for any amount of damages against the I)efesiiimat ? Cut there was one stogie feature in this (aye, which would at once decide the point for their too 6i...ration. The Plaintiff stated in his declaration that he had deservedly acquired the good opioion of all his fellow-subjects, and that for the purpose of bringing him into public scandal, infamy. and disgrace, the libel in question was published ; and it concluded by alleging that divers r.f his neigh. hours had thought the wurst of him on that 'recount. If this was the casts, why did he not bring his action amongst his neighbours ? Why did he, who kiwi in Nottingham, and who told the Jury that Ite had lost the good opinion and high estimation of all his neighbours in co.rscquence of this publication, try this case where his character and conduct were hest known—am.oigst ihnse neighbours, whose ratline. lion lie hail loot by moonier this libel ? He (Mr. Gurney) roust say that the conduct or the Plaintiff, in bringing his action flu miles from Nottiagham, in a place where he wis sourly tiiiktiown, was the clearest and Most den isive proof th it he hail stiffer. eil no damage whatever. Nothing was more clet:, than that a mai) who complained of being injured in the estimation Of his neighbours, and had in fact suffered that injury, would bring his action among throe neighbours, austered of waning for a consider... ble length of time. and then bring it before a Jury by e horn he was unknown ; when, in fact, he might have tried his case at Nottiogliani, either in March or July last. Sueh conduct on the part of the Plaintiff was decisive judgment egaitist himself.— Admitting, however, that the Plaintiff rens entitled to at verdict, the only remaining question was, the amount of damages he was entitled to receive.— The Deferidant was tiiidoubtedly liable to a verdict monist himself. Its Learned Friend admitted that The Otterrer was one of the most respe t uhle public journals, and reflected credit generally upon Os conductors. it should be recollected that the Defendant was the proprietor of the paper, and net the author of the article, which was given to him by a person who assured him that it wan well founded. It appeared, however, that he hid heels misinformed in that respect ; and certainly he (Mr. Gurney) did not stand there to las,ect its truth.— The Defendant lord put no justification on the re cord, and therefore be had not aggravated the sup posed cause of offence. The Jury should recollect that the amount of damages "Inch they should give, mini be measured by the amount of the im •lury; and he who did nut bring Iris action, and try his case, where lie affected to have tecetver: the injury, and where the iejury could be best •arti mated, gave the strongest judgment against him self that the injury had been little or none. The Cu tEe JUSTICE, in charging the Jury, said no tnsn could doubt that the matter contained in the alleged libel was calculated to injure the cha racter of the and all no attempt had been made to justify it, tire necessary inference was, that it must be taken to be untrue. Several tropics had beau addressed to the Jury on the one side and Ott the other, which. in his Lordship's humble judg ment, could ill tio way be involved in this case. This Court hurl nothing to do with the policy or impolicy of the Legislature in susnendieg the Habeas Corpus Act ; whether the long detail of matter con. tallied in the libel was true or untrue, had 'imbue; to do with the question which the Jury had to try, the only consideration being the damage w Melt the Plaintiff had sustained by having his name touplril with the disgraceful and highly criminal acts detail ed in the libel. It appeared that this statement was published at a time when the Plaiaitiff was ittcon litiemetit upon, charges for which he was likely to be brought t trial, and certainly such a publication was calculated to prejudice the minds of 'hive by whom he would probably have been tried, had the proceedings gone further. Nothing was more on. proper than publications tending to prejudice the cases of pea-sone, merely co fled 011 Suspicioii of offences, hecauae nothiing wait more likely to affect the interests of public justice. It had been very properly observed upon, that the Plaintiff had ile chord to bring his action at Nottingham, where his character might be supposed to be best known ; and the Jury would take that circumstance into consi deration in estimating the dainages, and in doing se, they would exercise that temper end disci:et 11011 which the due ad tttttt istration of justice required. The Jury retired for about half an hour, and re turned a verdict fir the Plaintiff—Damages, Stir( HUNDRED POUNDS. OLD BAILEY, SATURDAY, JANUARY Ili. a- BANK FORGERIES. J.
