If the ;isle had been applied for es ;against individual., th.• Court wou!d Lave railed un thosetindividuals to • solemner the milli of the libel in the used way, and would have ertinitted the Defendant, in 'hewing rattle, to go into facto to shew that those individuals Aid uut come into Court entirely with clean hand*. hefe wee a charge against the whole budy of the " Our, and he would repent, it was not sufficient prove.that it applied to a part of the body. If ' of the time of the trial h. had known that the libel was not charged as a lolirl Oa the whole body of the Clergy, but ouly its !lie clergy of Durbufn, much labour would have spared to him ; lie should mit have endmvoured to prove that this was nut a r thel on the established church, but lauvectoifioed bitriselrte - ihew that it was not a libel on the clergy of Durham, but upon that point he was not heard at all. Oa that ponit on which be was heard the De fendant was acquitted, and it was nu that on which he war not bruit that the Defendant was found netiext ground on which he had to apply fora new trial was, that the verdict wiz against eve. deuce. The Counts charged the Defetident with haw the printer .1.111 publisher of the Paper in whieh the libel appeared. whereas it was proved at the triel that lie did not print the Piper, that it was printed by a mats named Walker. Mr. Justice BAY LEY—" Did not the affidavit suite who was the printer and publisher ?" Mr. BRoucilaM—" I do not recollect ; but we pooled that ‘Villiains was not the printer." The LORD Cuter JUSTICE—" It it of little consequence. If priived, it will wily go to narrow the verdict to the second count, in which lie is ouly charged es being the publisher." Mr. BRoVollsa said, the next point on which lie moved for a new tiial was, that of* inirdirection of the Lesrued Judge, Mr. Baron Wood. The Learn. id Baron, in his address to the Jury, said the Court of King'. Bench hid already declared their opiontu that the publication was a libel, by -granting the information. This he (Mr. Brougham) aubtainted he ought not to have dime. Mr. Justice BAY LEY—" Did the Learned Boron tell the Jury what his own opinion was ?" Mr. Ilitoucanam—.. Yes, my Lord ; and of this also I complain-1 object to his having done so." The LORD CHIEF JuSTICR—" Theis in every case of libel almost which lau occurred since the parsing of the Libel fbil, Judges have done wrong : for it has beeu sit invariable rule for a Judge to jell the Jury, ' This is my opinion, but you wall teteercise your own judgment'." Mr. Justice BEST—" The Learned Judge, • adverting to the Court of King's Beech having &rented the information, said no more than this— • The Grand Jury have found a bill'." Mr. BROUGHAM—" I do not object to is Judge saying—' This is my opiniuu.' But the Learned Judge went further in this case: be observed— ! Gentlemea, I am required by law to give you my aviation, and I say this is a very groi, libel.' A Judge may wee, lam expected,' but not 'I am required by law to give you my opinion'." Mr. Justice HAVLEY—" Theta we are to grant the Defendant a new trial, because Mr. Baron Wood used the word • required' instead of • es pec:ed.' Is the Learned Judge dissatisfied with llie term lie used or wilt the verdict 1" Mr. BROUGH acid, he had nut heard so much fruui the Learned Judge, but he had to object to other parts of the Learned Judge's summing up. • The Learned Judge went on to state, that any publication *wended to bring establishments into • eouteoipt,•MlS a libel—this, he sebouitle4. was too large an interpretation, and should sot have been put to the Jury, lie had known many imitative* if attempt. made to disparage estahlishoteuto, but Bever heard before such nit interpretation put on them. The Small Pam Hospital, for instance, was established Icy Act of Parliament, and patronised by persons of the highest rank previous to the dis covery of vaccinetunt ' but since then be remem bered to have heard Lord Ellesiboroogh colt it a pest, and declare that in time it might become a 141S1•111/CC• He could cite massy iustauces of IMO. •dishoeuta which had been "'au discussed as to tern them into ridicule.

'eteletwith some intention of bringing it into con tempt, but uo one ever pronounced such ridicule a fit subject of prosecutiou for libel. The CMIEF JUSTICE said, he was not prepnred to say that au attempt to bring that establishment into coutempt would not be a libel. It would de. paid on the manlier it. which the merits of the establishment were discussed. Mr. BROUGMAM—" Certainly. my Lord, on the stunner ass feeling, but he submitted that to bring mow esteblislitneuts into contempt was not libellous.

If his Lordship could ion punish impartially and indiscriminately, he would not punish at all. • 'Die Loan Crisscst.t.na —'• Mr. Wetherell takes • view of the case rely different from any I take of it. It is nut as a puritsliment that any course is to be taken. From the year 1796. the estates of the lunette were committed to Mr. Waal. During all thot time the prisons next of kin were represented to the Master wills Nlr. Ward's know. ledge and acquiescence. In ordinary cases, he would be alit when the lunatic died that there was an end of his office of receiver. It is not the rights of parties that the Court has here to consi der, hut the priciples on which the 'Hairs of In. natics can be securely siinie.istereil. If no delft. •ctilty had silted, she estates would, as a matter of course, hare beets deltvried over to the next of kin 44 soon as the lunatic died. I speak of Mr. IVrtherell, I need out say, with effectionate re. sprct from circumstances of pat life; but whether a new trial ought or not in be granted, is not the made of arguing this question. It is with the view of arriving at the right conclusion on this pinta that I wi.h the Attorney-General not only to have no tice, but at my desire to conaider what he is to do in this ease. If he say that it is tint the interest of the Crown to interfere, it will be for the Court to consider what is fit to be done. Whatever the re. salt may be, or in whatever mode the Court may part, with the cause, it will be necessary to guard it from becomnig a precedent. For that reason I wish the Attorney•Geiwral to have notice." Mr. SHADWELL timid he should address his Lord ship now on the sane but as Mr. Serjeant Bosenquet was kept there from hot own Court, his Lordship would perhaps hear him next. The Loan CHANCLI.I.OR readily consented. Mr. SerjeWit 130SANQUET said he would not pre. some so interfere with the fern). of Chancery, or the leas of lunatics, hut would only offrr a few caner- • rations on the motion for a new trial. On this pert of the subject M . . Scariest and Wetherell had left him little to say. The Solicitor-Genetsl had intuit an isnptes.ion as amnia important documents had been withheld at the trial, and particularly two affidavits—one by Mrs. Rebecca Cotton, the tither by the Rev. Evelio Cotten ; but lie would read them wins Lordship to drew their total irrelevancy— the furnaer, respectiug the perfect satisfaction of all parties with the settlement of the lunatic', affairs in 1780. on the death of his lathe, ; the latter stated that the cornini..ion a n d of lunacy had bees in the linunic's lathes'. life-time. and that the lunatic was recognized then as next of kin to his father. The Loan Cii•scaLLoa said that was evidence of reputation. Mr. Serjestit BOSANQUIT admitted that it was, and had been so argued on at the trial ; for tit. commission and inquiritiou had hero produced, soil therefore the affidavit of Evelin Cotton could be of no use. The real estates mush have come by a dent) of settlement to the Rev. E. R. Cotton, so that nu escheat of real property could take place. The head and front of Mr. Waid's offending was, that he had not auformed against his mother and his aunts. The LORD CHANCELLOR.
