DWTIIII v. cormr.i.r. Mr. Ha D cylrirg opened the plea ling,. This was an actina bruught by the Plaintiff, Dwyer, to recover compensatio t in damages fur two libels, mid also a third, published in the news. paper, called The Weekly Messenger, rdirctiug on the Plaintiff, aaa Comediau.—Dainsge special. lu consequence of the publication ne lust his bene fits of brie; employed by the Alleiragros of the Dublin and Gslway Theatres. Damages Lid tit %OWL Two counts in the declaration. Mr. GOuLD addrresed the Coed in nearly the . following words My Lord and Gentlemen of the Jury, I am in this case us Courepel f ur th e Plaintiff, John H. Dwyer, and I am exceedingly glad, that, hi the present star of society, there is a prospect that a Special Jury of citizens of Dublin will be prepared. by their verdict, to distingaish the freedom from till obese of the pies. My elicit is a poor, unfriende I, unprovided.for man.— About seventeen years ago, he betook himself to the stage, being unprotected and unfriei.derl.— Thera are, in that line of life, as honourable and respectable men as any in sot irty : he poniessed a {madame person, a good countenance, mud pro mised to himself an &aspirants& career. Having at this period left the country, he performed at cannot Theatres in the British Empire, and he fieqUirtd, at the saute time, character and a man:table subsisteuce. On the -2 Ict May, 1802, he was en gaged at Drury-lane. as a principal performer; that engagement cautinued fur two years. It was afterwards his destiny to make the tour of England and Scotland, acquiring both character and im provement. the nature' results of industry. While playing at E linburgh, he had the rod fortune to attr.it the notice of a celebrated actress —I female of transcendent merit, Miss Smith. At her re. quest, the Plaintiff eat engaged ot . the Dublin Theatre; a recommendation so forcible as that of Miss Smith, a woman ati_.eted by no personal con sideration, induced Mr. Crampton, on whom the duty involved, to eager: him fir twelve nights, for the aim of 901. or half a clear Iwiretit, which might, only for the libel, the cause of the present action, hate produced three times more. 'rlie . very CM !ives hr wai not a Irian% segnisitieu. His fir•t appearance vise in the character of C'harke Surface. On the a curious circinustasice hap dened et the Theatre. Mrs. Joritau, that paragon of comic acting, was engsged there the last season ; Dwyer wits to play tire tout of Mernbel, the !note difficult to perform, being played by Talhat with unrivalled assess; he consented, at a short notice, to play the part. A circumstance 04 corred on that night, known to every man of this metropolis.— Mrs. Jordan, with the vanity of a female. forgetting that beauty is perishable, and perishes, thought that her mime would produce every thing that beauty end talents could commsad. Mra. Jordan played Biearrc--Dwy er was not so quick at repartee as she wished. She rebuked him on the public stage; he would be less than man, had he horne such a re printout{ from any person except from one of that holy, the public. who should be the only j Wires of hes talents; he did take fire at the rebuke--he wide the imputable recol on the touter front whence it issued ; this circumstance was magnified into t spe cies of haughty resistance to her absolute anti con temptuous authority ; she was to give laws, and any man who wonld positively deny her authority, would be cobsidered a rebel to the public stage. She found ready materials to satisfy her tnalice, in that press, which had already gone beyond the boundaries of its destinabon, by libelling public characters, and had not stopped reviling the con duct of private f imilies. She effected, from the unbridled licentionsness of the pros, the object of her resentment. Tne former pubhestimis of The irtskly Messenger proved to her, how easily she could get him to libel this young man. The audi eller took fire at his apology, thvy would never listen to an act of gfo:44 trittstice, even from the despotic sway of Mrs. Jordan. Her friend, found The Weekly .Messenger ready for the purpose, on the Ist July, 1809, the libel was published."' Mr. Guoto here read the the-able-11 dig. at, as published in The Meekly Messenger. The only charge azoilist the Plaintiff that is true, was the substituting his own words, in the place of his author's--certainly a most egregious fault in an actor. Is there not something to this publieativm that disgusts the mind of matt Are the courtesies of social life to he thrown at defiance? Is billings gate lacgiuge. that defames a man, to be aulists vilerl in the room of candid cry iehm, that enliiht ens the mind and inspror-s the morals ? hat . .
