Much about this time; the Plaintiff's demands upon his creditors not coming in :SO ecinve;. niently as could be wished, he was arrested tipoiLit. Bill a•Exchangt which had become due Upon him and the Defendant was his Bail. The I'llintftf. being thtis deprived'of !ti's remittances was, under a temporary presstite, obliged to call his creditorS gether, for the purpose of obtaining time to &S, charge his engagements. ,The creditors tn,et, and - they had so good an opinion of the Plaintiff, ih;it they agreed to give him two years ; and tb take their demands by four installments, offive each in the pound : they found, upon full invests= .gation of his concerns, that Mr. Johnston was able to.pay between twenty-five and forty shillings in the pound. They gave him, therefore, these two years to make up the whole of Lit Concerns; and a Deed was drawn up to be eitecuted by his 'Creditors for the allowance of that time ; but it was never executed, nor was any composition made, nor any installment paid, because it appeared, that before 'six months had elapsed, Mr. Johnston. paid ev er y one o f his Creditors aos. in the pound, -togethtt with interest, fat : every thing that bore interest, from the time it became 4ue; to the day of pay:. meat. This Mlion was brought :against the Defendant, for that he, knowing all these things, did-malicious ly publish of and concerning the Plaintiff, certain slanderous reports, that be was not fit to be trusted; for that he was insolvent, and that he had been tir l . grateful to ;he Defendant, who bad taken NM out of gaol, &c. ; and particularly, that the ll•fenda - tit had written two Letters to a Commpre.ial Houie at Hamburgh, under the firm of Gilchrist and Com.: pang, .with whom the DeferOant knew the Plaitttig to be conneded tbs 4 Merchant, slating, " that tht Plaintiff was an-ingrateful person, and a worthless charader, to whom no credit ought to he given ; that he soon would be done up," &c. The Whole of which the Plaintiff stated to be most wickedly false, except that of a friendship haring ; once; sub. sisted between them ; and, as a proof of it,. the Defendant had bailed the Plaintiff as had been ah,. ready stated ; of' their, having mutually accormilo.. dated one another with the kati ,of small suini of money, for-the purposes of providing against 'aim. porary pressUre, which only made the malice the mote remarkable. That. in truth, - the I,Wentlant was s'arpasLed'in Z-tedit in trade, by the Plaintilr„ and he ~ vaiated to pull him down *with ti v iew of set,.:: ting, himself &C. and it was with that pro ,, , sp,ul he:published these injurious Libels. , . . Such was the substance (which is all we can state, at present) of the Plaintiff's case. The Defendant pleaded seven pleas of justifica tion, by which he admitted that he ;LW uttered ,thcse things, and had sent the:,e.letters to the house at flamburgh, bur then he said, rite subsuince of them was true.—After a very long, and a very full, trial, it appeared must nmifestly that the Plaintiff's cause of adieu) , Was ucll fAtided.
