By . Ilusetesp—Hel said swastilsisi about sending a

net laid that Davis had lied ties ailldavit. I was told

anommined—l was aware of the affidavits filed in the
proceedings in Chancery.
The Attorney-General said he had those affidavits here,
and would put them in. They contained no allegation of
fraud at all.
A conference of some length then took place between all
the wties, at the end of which
Mr. Humfrey addressed the jury, and said that they
would be relieved from all further consideration of the
matter ; that, representing the noes, he was instructed to
lay that the reports complained of had been inadvertently—
end inadvertently only—allowed to be published. The
Tuna wee always anxious to investigate all mercantile
which were in any way tinctured with fraud,
Liccee& anxiety had led to the present mistake.
NO lot told the Attorney-General that he wished
to ma so reflection on the plaintiff, and that no
gmannier7 consideration ought to stand in the way
of seeking full compensation in such a case, and
that be would consent to any damages that he (the Attar-
nerGessral) might think the case required, but with great
libeeslity, he said that his client inquired nothing more then
be Modica' his character, and to be freed from all the ex-
poses to which he had been put. He could assure the
other side that this offer was made in no niggard spirit,
but should be liberally carried out, and he could only ex-
press on behalf of the proprietors of the Times their deep
regret that that journal should have been made the means
of promulgating these injurious statements, and that they
had put a ywitifleation upon the record. They, therefore,
agreed that the plaintiff should be put to no expense of any
sort, and he believedthe plaintiff desired nothing more, and
was willing to avow his belief that the Times was actuated
by no malicious feeling in the matter.
After a few words from the Attorney-General assenting
to that arrangement,
Lord Campbell said—Gentlemen, under the advice of Mr.
Hominy the Dines has at last acted with propriety, but
I should not discharge my duty if I did not
advert to the undisputed facts of this case. This was
an action for a report of certain judicial proceedings.
The law has been laid down correctly to the effee, that
fair reports of all such proceedings may be made. Ido not
mean that they should contain all the evidence and speeches.
They may be fair, however short ; but if the report is unfair
it is a libel of great malignity, bantam it deceives those
who read it and balm they may piece implicit credit on
the reports of judicial This action is brought
