Justice Wirtibma, Mr. Jamie, BM and Mr. Jacket
Blackburn.)

Mr. Leech moved in this ems by loam to ant seMe the
edict and to enter a nomult, or floc a new trial, on the
=that the verdict wee pleat evidence, and the
tut:same.
The action was for a joint libel on the part of the two
sad it was triad at the bat sittings at Guildhall
by Mr. Justice Blackburn, when, after a trial of two days, a
mwdiet we. roared for the pltiutiff for 100 f.
The pisiatiff, se will be remembered, is a Baptist
'slather, formerly otildating at a dupe' at Castle liming-
ham, in Ewe x, bat removed from the charms by the trustees
of the chapel In consequence of bin bay.ng been summoned
be ore the sasiistrates for a criminal assault upon the wife
Woos of his congregation. The determination of the tree-
less led to great distention amongst the congregation, and In
eoseequene, of the support wirch he received from a *ac-
tion of them the iplamhlf contumaciously took goesesion of
the chapel.
The libel complained of apoesred in a dissenting publica-
tion called TA, lerthero rival, and it was set iorth in
a letter written by the defendant Mote, who had mead as
the solicitor of the It usto,s in certain chancery proceedings
connected with the removal of the plaintiff from the chapel.
The letter detailed the history of the proceedings in which
the plaintiff had figured, and in addition to stating that the
chirp against hint had been investigated before the magis-
trates, it declared that they had ht. 34 fully and deliberately
investigated by the trust-es of the chapel. This, however,
turned out not to have been the case, as any investigation
that thus took place was entirely esparto. On the part of
the defendant Mote It was urged that the letter, as it left his
hands, did not pot boar nearly so hard upon the plaintiff, hat
Out, in consequence of certain mums having been elimi-
nated from it by the editor of the paper, the defendant Banks,

not be charged with.

doubtedly many of the Meta put forward in the pnblioatioa
compleibeil of were proved by the evidence. He could

charges lay that that wail so of the !statement that the
charges against Mr. Shipway had beea fully investigated by
