ties produced any thing disl °mutable on his Part. When the Eleffion was proclaimed; ind the Plain.;. tiff wits seeking the,suffrage of his Countrymen, low m.; to ask this questt,:n, NA hat is the situation of any man at such a period, in such a Country as Great Britain ? You do . not meet like the Peophi of Switzerland, to chose a Landamman, who de.t Man& your : suffrages with. the. sword in his hand " you Ouse the man,' whom you conceive competent to legislate for You, to proted you ; you chuseliim, DOE because he is forced - Upon you, but because you approve of him. lam addressing you as• men who, us Freeholders, occupy situations such as are filled by no race of men under the canopy of Heaven, ex_ kept the Inhabitants of the United States of Athe, rica. It wal at this particular moment, When, a: I have stated to you, the Plaintiff was soliciting the suffrage of ;he Freeholders, the Defendant, who was'at a ball at Norwich, elevated himself, as on a rostrum, called aloud for silence; and having oh: -tained it, applied these epithets to the Gentleman I represent. Speaking of Sir Jacob Astley, who was riot then in the room, he used these words :—" He is a liar, a coward, an assassin, a scoundrel, and a murderer ; ,and he murdered his own father !" I ask you what any Tnan must have felt under these circumstances ? From whom did thiS slander pro: teed t Had it come from some man who was a Mountebank, or in a low 'situation of life—lf such a one had said Sir Jacob Astley was a liar, he would bave' ' been - kicked out of the room ; he would hai'e been considered as a' man who Could 'ha ve hadno ac quAintance with' him or his family ; but, on the contrary, every one who saw Colonel Harwood in that situation in which (I ant sorry 'to say) he ever was placed-- man who was bred in the family, and acquainted with all that,cOnfidence could cute ; Who had lived under the roof of Sir Edward Astley_ to the moment of his death who was ac quainted with alt the transactions of that Hon. House every one, I say, who tiow and heard him, must have concluded, that there was some founds. tion for such an assertion. What must have been the feelings of my Hon. Client,' when these things were reported to him ? I think he must have felt that sentiment, so, beautifully expressed in the Di: vine Poetry of the sacred Psalmist : ." It is not an open enemy that bath done me this disho. _flour, for then 1 could have hornc it. Neither was it mine adversary that did magnify hiniself '.against me, for theta peradverdute 1 would have hid myself front him. hut it was even thou my companion, my guide, mine .own familiar friend P The first onestion I would ask (and I hurt - 11)1Y implore the-attention of the honourable and learned Judge to it) is, Are these words .such as must have • been noticed in one way or another ? I repeat these Words With as much empha t sts as I am able—Must . they have been noticed in one ivon . y.or my learned friend's printence permit him to say that the .words used by the Defendant, instead of being tried ill a Court of Justice, should have had a trial in another Court, a COurt of. Honour. This pit a tribunal the Law will not hear of. What ! if a man accuses me of murder, am I to become his murder •er, orshe mine ? I thank God there has been on this subject a considerable alteration in the public opi. nion—lt is owing to the Noble Lord who so long administered the justice of the country--I tll^lll the late Lord Kenyon, that we are to attribute a .disuse of the practice daraCieristic only of the roost bar_ barons people. Since that Noble Lord'i timr,.ofAs cers whom I could mention--Officers who have been carryiqg the tante of the British Army. to the remot. est corners of the earth—Officers who have pl ace d in the shade : the atchievementa of former periods, have come to the Court of King's Bench, appealed for proteCtion to the• Law,. and reserved ,their cou rage for that cause in which the exertion, of con_ rage becomes a moral and religious duty. The.. Law. has said, that- the first person who- shall meet,and destroy his adversary. in the field of, honour; falsely stY called; shall expiate 'his offenee with his life. , But what is it induces a man to rush' into the field and stain.his soul with his bro ther's blood Ir is reputation—fame—a sense of public opinion.. There' is .no danger a man wouos l not - bravef-rather than that the hatsil ofscorn should point its, slow and =yin; finger at him;- there is no. man knows what the dread of public opinion may drive bun to ; ;and a Man' may be justified in taking the 'law:into his own hands, when it 'will not afford bin] yes proieCtion. This obiervatiOn is as old as the Re., volutinis-; , for whoever will look into the Reports of Lord Raymond, who lived about thattime, will'find that itwas said by the LortfChief Justice Holt, when : an attempt' was made to explain away words, and g i ve small damages, " I am" (said he) "always, for supptrting atlioris for words; for I remember a say.. ing of Mr. Justice TWiiden, , who . was present when judgMent.Was arrested for words, and the Plaintiff 'exclaimed, if I had thought this, Livonia have had . his: blood !" Such was the opinion prOduced on the mind of that able Judge, by the. circumstance I have mentiOned,• and therefore it does appear to me, that this itsa" case of ,at sitnilar description. But you have a further duty to perform—That:duty is to hear both sides :of the case with impartiality.—l know thlre are topics of defence which will °emir to an ingenious .man, and which my.. Learned Friend, in the pressure of the case, will not fail • to have mousse 'to-4 shall, therefore, as I may have no opportunity of a reply, .endeavOur to anti-, 'cipate the arguments he wilt probably address to .you. The Learned Counsel suppesed that the first topic urged by the Advocate for the Defens dant, would be drawn from the circumstance, that the charaaer of the Plaintiffhaa not been injured by the aspersion of ths. .4ifendant. It might alSo' ' be. said, that the slander was in the: ev e n . ing, at a Ball, and at a time and plaee, when per. cons throw aside those restraints they catty about them during the hours of buiiness: It might .also be inferred, that the .Defendant had offered an ape_ logy to the "laintiff. Having stated these supposed topics of defence, and replied to them at considar able length, he concluded by saying., " I have to apologise lot' the time I have occupied. I am aware , that a great part of what I have - said may be urine. Tcessary ; but I am nut conscious that I have laid down any principle which it will no; do you honour to adopt.--Yost will have the verdia to pronotinie ; provi•)ce- is over. I have made such ohserva- tions, - in the hearing of the - Nge, the Jury, an 1 -the Country, as I have thought necessary. • It you should giveSniall dinage4 I shall:, lainent deeply, that Sir Jacob Astley ever brought' this adiOn ; shall lament, that in endeavouring - to vindicate reputation, he has lost it ; I shall lament . that you should say to him, Go any where else for redress, for we will not give it you I shall be sorry, for tile sake of:the Country. It is an awful: trust, which, as Jurymen, you have reposed in you. I sincerely hope you will preserve it, by discharging from your minds all passions and prejudices---all political and private considerations, and by dismiSs; ing from your remembrance every thing you may have heard upon the subjed. The death of Sir Edward Astley was proved by the register of his burial. Lieutenant-General Murray stated, that he was at the ball at Norwich, on Tuesday the t 6th of July. In the evening, when the company were beginning to witharaw, the Defendant 'moiited the 'tea-table, iii the corner .of the room, anti addreised thi pany. The Witness p - reived the Defendant's liavini used tl.e words mentioned in 'Mr. Eiskine's speech. Mr. GU RNEY —" have the honour to attend you on ,the part of Colonel Harwood, who is called on by Sir Jacob Astley. to tender to hint a compensation in damages for having, as he asserts, maliciously defamed his charadee ; and, Gentle. : alien, I am not ac all surprized 'that my Lears%ed Friend, Mr. Erskine, should have treated this else, not in words expressly, perhaps, but in the manner he addrested you, as if it had been-one of great portance. I confess that to me it seems to be a case of as little importance as any one can well be. To me it,appears to have no other importance whatever than what it, deriVes, from the talents of my Learned Friend; talents which.can.confer importance On the most trivial subjed, and can make great things small, and small thingogreat. Not that I think the charade; of Sir Jacob Astley,or any other Gentle man, a matter of small importance. There is no person who thinks more of the value of character than I do, but it behoves every man to consider well before he comes into a Court of Justice, whether his charader has sustained any injury, and whether cit.- cumstances may not have occurred subsequent to the supposed injury, which make his appearing in a Court of Justice as toPlaintiff the most improper, as well as the most dishonourable step he could take. It would have well become Sir Jacob Astley to have considered these matters ; and I am persuad ed if he had done so, without his Attorney at his e:bow, he would not have come forward with this action ; circumstance he must in iny opinion re gret as lung as he lives. My Learned Friend, Mr. Erskine, has said, .that the law gives art .a ion to every man against • whom a crime is unjustly im. ,puted ; _I wish he had referred hs mind to a ease which one of the abiestlawyers ; Chief Justice de Grey, laid it down, that the. words must impute a charge, not merely affecting the moral charatler of ...the party, but which, if true, would subjed him to . punishment ; otherwise they. are not aaionahle. Therefore it is, that the declaration on the'lece °fie, states that these words were uttered with intent to have it believed the Plaintiff, Sir Jacob Astley, had been guilty of the crime of murder—the . horrible crime of murderi n g hi s own f at h er. lritipears, to me to be worthy of yourconiideratirrt, :in W4et - these words were meant tube understood, I tnight call witnesses, and ask then-tin What sense they un deriitood the words. My Learned Friend had (navy Witnesses to prove the words; but when ,he found, from the course of my cross-examination,. that" it might become 'a question in what sense the words were uttered, he stopped short in: examining them. , Thereason he did not examine any more was, because he was sensible there was not 30 indiv it present who understhod them in the sense imputed to them by the declaration. Hew, often,do, .we in popular langua g e use words, which, taken : abstractedly, impute crime, but, .are' of Perfetttl.y, i'l;nocoa interpretation when properly explained. An in. -1 stapee of the kind very 'lately occurred with re. 1 gar& to a Learned Friend of mine. I happeoed to ask him what he thought hf a certain C.l;n7e-yrnan, who was a .man no; less rema r k a ble f ur hi piety than his learning: My friend, after deseribitia. iiy etni— Milt. qualities, added, " hut,' after ail, he is ,a great pickpocket." Could any woters be more de., famatory than these were ? Yet when they were explained, they rather conveyed a compliment. , Fie , smd, " I went to hear .him preach a pliatity serunm, and his sermon was so persuasive, that I did ,not bring away a single shiping." - 1 - 14 my friend stop.. ped, and not : been allowed to have entered into the • explanation, he might, have been called upon to have made compensation for imputing .to a .respettable ,Cleigyman that he wets a pickpocket. Other cases, might he imsgine Suppose a man were de. • bauch an - innocent female, - and by desertion 'and cruelty break her heart. If it was to be said he had robbed leer, :or that he had murdered her, would . any one conceive that such a robber; or murderer was , theant, as could be the fOundation• of a criminal prosecution ? It consequently would riot be that species of defamation which could be the subjed of an adion. ii ask whether there it one man td found who understOod the charge of murder made by the Defendant in the legal - acceptation of the word ? 1 admit the' words were uttered, 'but at the ' 'very moment When the Defendant wa's on the point of ,explaining them, he w'as pulled 'down, Had these words been tittered respeding the death of any matt whose death was suspicious,, there might have been some room" to hive attributed slander to them, but it appears, ail(' it is a fad well, known, that h e died at the advanced age of seven;y4wo, and 'that his death was the consequence of a slow and gra. dual decay of nature ; but ,why has not my Learn- - ed Friend' she.wri,,the us toner in which he died ? It is. extraordinary; that having the power of calling as many 'orthe domestics of the family of the late Sir Edward Astley as he pleased, he should have resod • the , evidence of hi s . d eat h on the mere produdi o n'of the certificate of his bu rial e the reason evidently was, he dLI. not .wish:to show that he died'a na tural death, or`that the cit. cumst ite.ces of it, were above. stopicion.

Upon which the Plaintiff replied, " I freely - 1,,r give him, lam sure he is my friend." Upon being informed he. had voted against him at the EiediON, he said, '' That is no matter, I shall be hapOy to meet him and forget what has passed ;" ;indite ,added, '' We have been friends for molly years —Can I. do otherwise than love A man who, after tendering me such vett services, camt.with,his trtiek under his arm and offered to go to France with me, which he adually did at a time when T was deserted by every other person !

CCOpi)ei Itinvood what Sir Jacob Astley had said', and he ," Go back, and tell'lchn I am satislieti, but I think he ottgiit to do something fur Lady Astley." The result of this negotiation was, a recoociliation did in point of ,fad take place, though it was-thought proper to defer-the public avowal of.it till after the eledion was over, les,t it should give - occasion to some of Sir Jaeob's enemies to cijaw inferreees from it injurious to his interest.
