published la that paper.
Mr. &tryout Byles and Mr. Petandorff appeared for the
plaintiff; and Mr. Macassar* for the defendant.
The libel in question was ;published on the 17th of Fe-
bruary last, in • report of Pa meeting of the Lichfield
Town Council, i• which the Mayor was stated to
have said that the plaintiff bad Slimed his lather's
name Sou his father's death, and by that means
had obtained the dividends upon a sum in the Three per
Cents. which belonged to the borough, and that Mr. Alder-
man Birch had observed that he did not know how the
council could recover the dividends that had been obtained
by him. The facts were that the plaintiff's father had peep
a power of attorney to the bankers to receive the dividends,
sad after his death they had received theta as usual, and the
Plaintiff bad paid :beat to the account of the borough fund.
The counsel for the plaintiff complained that the report in
question Imputed to the plaintiff that he had improperly
Mtaiued the dividends, and that the council were diecusaiog
the means of gettidg the money from him; whilst the truth
was that he had properly received the dividends, and had
regularly accounted for them. In addition to this it was
stated that the newspaper report was incorrect, and that oo
observation of the kind complained of had been made at
the town council meeting.
After • short consultation between the counsel in the ease,
it was 'greed to settle the action. The defendant's counsel
withdrew every imputation from the character of the
plaintiff, and agreed that a statement to that effect should
be made in the neat number of tit Journal, and also that
there should be a verdict for the plaintiff—damages 40s.
