fendant had printed: and published a pamphlet for a gebtle-
man, whose writings had before been the subject of investi-
Ration in the Court of Qoeso's Bench, on the motion of Yr.
Serjeant Hayes. The libel complained of was as follows:
—"Communications bare been received by me from
various quarters relative to the diegrsoefal con-
duct and foul language of Jobs and Thomas
Sperms:4 publishers, Market-place, Leioeistm, wbcee
contents may be related in some of my future pub-
Beatiom, and let these two young booksellers bridle their

vulgar, and moat Imprudent Legume is not fit for inser-

refined ladies who 'request their shop cannot be
