Mr. Justin* Wight's's—On what ground do you make
yew applicarioa
Mr. floral -I submit that the words are libellous, and
teed to a breach of the pesos. I may state that the counsel
steer mw Sir John natal his esainiuselon. and never bed
any personal coremeniestioa with him. Seth • letter ea
this I contended is also • dime interference with the mono
of malice.
Lord Campbell—As the letter was not comeasidafted to •
third person, I think you cannot move on the ground merely
of its being • libel; but you are entitled to • rule on
the ground that it is an laterference with the doe
administration of justice, sad tends to a breach of
the peace. The leter Is &dammed to • gentleman
who, it appear., did no more than was neoessary in oho
strict discharge of his duty, and I think we ought to call
Upon the gentleman against whom the application is made to
explain the grounds on which he ddends him& as the
voter of it.

The otter Jo II being of the same opinion,
The court granted a rule viol.
