This insolvent, a Dutifirtian,;fiisdeseribed himself as a
private tutor, applied to be discharged from prison. Mr.
Serjeant Chadwicks Jones opposed on the part of Mr. A.
Ituesscnaers, a merchant ; Mr. Cooke supported.
iusolsent was in custody for damages awarded in an
action for libel, tried at the Guildford assizes in August
last, when the jury gave the damages at 6001. From the
insolvent's examination by Mr. Serjeaut Jones, it appeared
that the opposing creditor engaged him as private tutor at
Holland for his children (two girls and one boy) in 1549,
and he rune to this country. The opposing creditor way
then living with his family in St. John's-wood, where he
euntinued until March last, when he was turned out of the
house by the pollee on the orders of a person named
Merles, who was clerk to the opposing creditor, who was
at the time at Itottenleta, at which place he carried on busi-
ness, as also at Alexandria in Egypt. Madame Ituysse-
naves, the wife, had left the house, but he had not assisted
her to pack up any plate. Ile had to apply to a magistrate
to get posses-ion nt his clothes. There was no plate belonging
to his master found in his box. lle resided at 69, Charlotte-
street, Fitzroy-square. lle had seen the wife of the op-
posing creditor very frequently. She had been ill-used by
b
er huslemd. Ile admitted that he was arrested in her bed-
' room, at No. 90, in the MIMIC street, where she still resided.
She had visited him with her Dutch servant whilst he had
been in prison, at the request of his father.
A clerk to Messrs. Wire and Child, the solicitors for the
opposing creditor, produced the ncord, " I(llydwinters r.
Ileystick." The libel was eoutained in three letters written
by the insolvent after he left St. John's-wood to the foreign
correspondent.* of the up using creditor. They were read
in court; they imputed dishonourable and immoral con-
duct to him alleging his insolvency, and that he and
Mickey, his clerk, were dishonest persons. Several pleas
of justification were pleaded, hut no witnesses were called.
Mr. Edwin James was for the plaintiff, and Mr. Montagu
Chambers for the defendant. The jury awarded the damages
at 6001. The isms of the action which would amount to be
tween 1601. and 200/.,had nut hien taxed. The c:erk said ihe
opposing creditor was in England, but was advised not to
attend the court in case any violence might be contemplated
against him. Ou the trial it was imputed by the counsel
for the plaintiff that he was concerned in taking the plate,
and also that he had seduced the wife of the uppocing credi-
tor. The learned judge stopped the observations on the trial.
In answer to Mr. Cooke the insolvent said be had four
witness at Guildford, but they were not called to prove
that what he stated in the letter was true. lie was sud-
denly turned nut of the house at St. John's-wood at 11
o'clock at night. lle had been af,aulted by the opposing
creditor, and by Ilinekes. Ile hail got into the bedruoon
where he was arrested to avoid the arrest by the sheriffs
officer, as he wanted to write a lett. r.

Mr..S..rjrant Jones a*ked the imo:veut whether he would
swear that it wa., the tirAt time he was in her bedroom?

The insolvent deelared that it was. He denied any rub-
bery ur improper intimacy with Madame Huyssenaers.
Mr. Whitaker, of Nu. 90, Charlotte-street, where Madame
Ruyssenaers resided, and a female servant to her were
called. They denied that they had ever seen anything im-
pror
Mr. Cooke proposed to call Madame Ruyssenaers as a
witness. _ _ _

Mr. Commissioner Law said it could not be allowed by
the practice of the court.
Mr. Cooke said Madame Ituyssenaers was anxious on bee
oath to answer the imputation made on her character, an/
to deny that anything improper hail taken place.
Mr. l)uwse appeared fur Mr. Brandon, an attorney, who
had pleaded to the action of libel, and took on objection to
the description. The insolvent had signed a document as
residing at 89, Charlotte-street.
It CUM out in the course of the case that flinches woo
now out of his mind.

Mr. skrjeaut slimes complained of the wicked and atro-
cious Glel on the character of Ids client, and asked the
court, in au energetic address, to punish the insolvent to the
full extent (two years) allowed by the act.
Mr. Cooke, in reply, asked who was the greatest libeller,
the insolvent or the opposing creditor ? Who defamed the
character of his wife without foundation, and now asked
the court to punish the insolvent for writing the letters
lle knew he was precluded from going into the case, and
that a judgment would pass against his client; but he was
sure the courtyiould not fail to observe that the imputations
made on the trial were again brought forward, and as a
further reason in mitigatiou the insolvent was consumptive.
Mr. Commissioner Law said the practice of the court re-
quired that the description should be amended; and, there-
tore, the case would be adjourned. Ile agreed with the
learned counsel for the insolvent that he was not warranted
in giving any credence to the imputations that had been
made against the insolvent and the wife of the opposing
creditor. The frequency of seeing each other was perfectly
reconcileable with the injuries they in common complained
of, and it would have been better had the opposing creditor
abstained from making the imputations. fhe rase before
him was one of libel, and a most serious one it was. What
could be more base than the attack so maliciously made on
the character of the opposing creditor ? The insolvent was
in his family, held a confidential situation, and had wickedly
and maliciously made the charges contained in the letters to
the foreign correspondents, and which had inflicted a most
grievous injury. It was a case in which he should give a
serious judgment for the damages awarded.
The ease was adjourned fur about three weeks for an
amended description, and on the next occasion the period of
remand will be mentioned. The inquiry did nut terminate
till nearly six o'clock.
