for the plaintiff ; Mr. Giffard, Q.C., and Mr. Murphy, were
counsel for the defendant.
The plaintiff had beet butler to his lordship*. and after
he left his employment he wrote the following letter,
which was the libel complained of :—" Sir,—ln reply to

liaCtlaintiff gave the following strange

per annum. He had been previously with Lord
Dam of Exeter. He went to Ireland and returned with
the family. Abort the 6th May there wag an unpleasant-
ness about the travelling expenses. He had charged ss. a
day, and his lordship said he bad never paid more than 4s.
per day, and the matter stood over. He delivered the
cards for a large ball on the Bth Jens, and at defendant's
request he hired a cab for the purpose, but he objected to
the charge, 2.5. 6d. There ;were 35 dozen of wins
ordered from Messrs. Lumley and Green, and his 1p
directed the plaintiff to semi the bottles back. AbOrut 180 g
attended the ball, and about 6 o'clock in the morning,
after the visitors had left, his lordship informed him that
everything had gone on well, and he was thoroughly satis-
fied. He retired to rest about 7 o'clock and rose again at
9. He had between 20,0001. and 30,0001. worth of
plate in his charge. He gave the carman ally
empty wine bottles he could find. Afterwards he
others about the house, and he put two dosen bottles in a
' rack in the wine cellar.' He gave the memorandum of the

I =he defendant an account of the wine that had been
and he said he was satisfied, and gave plaintiff
credit having managed so well. On the Sunday fol-
lowing defendant sent for him about three o'clock in the
afternoon, and said, " Morgan, I understand you are going
out." Plaintiff said yes, he was going to church. His
lordship asked if he had not gone in the morning, and he
' replied he had not. His lordship said he was not to go
out. Plaintiff asked why not on that Sunday, as the other
servants would be in. His lordship said that had nothing
to do with it, and ordered plaintiff down stairs and to stay
in the house. Some further conversation posed between
them, when his lordship
.said, you, y don't go
down stairs and stay in the house I win send for
the police and give you in charge, and send you
out of the house without a character. Plaintiff replied
that he would emir to his lordship in the morning, but he
must be allowed to go and place of worship. His lordahip
jumped off his chair, said, " What's that you say r
no followed plaintiff to the hall, and called to the hall-
porter to hear what he had to say. He said, " him, if
he goes out of the door, don't you let him Into the house
sgiun.' Plaintiff had a newspaper in his hand, which he
was going to post on his way to church, and his lordship
said, ` What church anti ou going to, surely you don%
want to take newspapers church." He told him they
were his own newspapers. His lordship. again said that
if plaintiff went out he should not come in again. Plain-
tiff remonstrated with him for not being allowed
to go to church, and reminded him that they were not in
Africa, nor was he an African slave. After some further
conversation plaintiff said he would not serve him for any
amount of money after that day month, and his lordship
replied that he should not have the chance. Plaintiff asked
his lordship to count the plate. He at first refused; he,
however, afterwards followed plaintiff down stairs into the
pantry, collected the plate, and threw it into the closet,
without counting it. On Monday morning he gay.e the
defendant a month's notice, but offered to leave imme-
diately if his lordship would give him a month's wages and
pay him Si. for board and lodging ; at the same time, he
declined leaving until his lordship had counted the
plate, wine, and candles, and given him a memorandum
that all were right ; defendant afterwards complained that
too much wine was drunk at the ball ; and when plaintiff
said it was very little, his lordship said it was impossible
so much could have been consumed, and that plaintiff
must have stolen it and sent it out of the house. His
lordship complained that there were only 600 candle-ends,
whilst 900 candles had been put up ; plaintiff said some
were so small that they were not worth counting, and the
under butler had some down stairs ; his lordship also said
that the plaintiff had stolen some of the bottles. Later in
the day his lordship, striking hie fist on the table, said,
" Now, Mr. Morgan, I have been to Mr. Gunter's, and to
my wine-merchants, and they both say it is impossible
such a quantity of wine should hnve been drunk.
You have 'behaved so badly that you have forfeited
all your wages ; pack up your traps and be off toted
minutes." A policeman was called in, and on plaintiff saying
his lordship accused him of robbery, he replied that
he had only charged me with taking bottles, and that
plaintiff had him on the Sunday. Plaintiff denied
it ; and when he appealed to the servants, they said be
bad not done so. He sued his lordship, and obtained his
wages in full. In consequence of the letter complained of
he had been unable to obtain a situation. There was no
truth in his lordship's statement.
In cross-examination plaintiff said be was not to ex-
Tose the wine, and about 2 o'clock in the morning they
could not draw the corks fast enough. He did not say to
his lordship, " you and your plane ; you insulted me
last night by bottling your d— claret." No claret was
bottled the night before.
Several of the servants were called, and stated that
they considered the plaintiff to be a sober, well-conducted
man. They never heard him swear, and the housekeeper
stated that she never heard an improper word pass between
his lordship and the plaintiff. She never heard him swear,
or saw him drunk. One of the servants said that plaintiff
snapped his fingers at his lordship, and said he did not care
that for him, w hen he told the ball porter not to admit
him if he went out.
Lord Middleton was called—He said the plaintiff was in
his service five months, but it was objected to and ruled
that the witness could not be asked what was the plaintiff's
conduct during that time.
One of Messrs. Gunter's servants, who was at the Mar-
quis of Waterford's during the ball, said the plaintiff con-
ducted himself properly on that occasion.
The Marquis of Waterford deposed that when the
plaintiff gave him notice he said he was too clever
a man to stay with me. On defendant informing plaintiff
that he was treating him badly, he said he bad made up
his mind to leave ; he was losing his time, as he was wank
more. On one occasion he had to insist on bottles which
Morgan had ordered to be put out being returned into the
cellar. Plaintiff said " you and your bottles. you
and your place ; you insulted me the other night. I don't
care a d— for you." The day before the ball he told
plaintiff he had employed Marrs. Gunter, in order to make
Lie work the easier, but he was to be at his (defendant's)
right hand to take orders. On informing plaintiff that he
would not be required to announce the company he became
excited, and said " you, if I don't announce the com-
pany I'll do nothing at an " There was an altercation which
lasted 20 minutes, and defendant did not see plaintiff again
until the following day. He could not be found that night.
On the Sunday morning he told plaintiff he should want
him to attend to the call bell and announce the visitors;
but he declined, saying he did enough else. In the after-
noon the plaintiff was sent for, and told that several mem-
bers of parliament were expected, and as he refused to
wait upon the ladies be was to announce the gentlemen.
He said he would not, but defendant insisted that he
should. Defendant was talking to the hall porter when

dant told him if he persisted in going oat he should not be
allowed to return. It being Sunday he said nothing more.
On Monday morning defendant told plaintiff it was im-
possible be could go on in that manner, and that he must
leave the house. Defendant told him he believed him to
be perfectly honest, and that there was no necessity for
his counting the plate. Plaintiff had three times given
him notice. He was very abusive, and used strong lan-
guage. Defendant thought the plaintiff d— him and
treated him more like a bride than a man. The police-
man desired the plaintiff to leave quietly, and if it were

never did it except in a case of extreme

to come to defendant's room crying. At first be thought
it was constitutional, but he afterwards found out that he
kept a large cask of ale down stairs, of which he partook

The person indicated here got into the witness-hes, gooa
the name of Laughton, and said he was native of the north
of Ireland, and was the purchaser of the old coat so sack

to do business with him, and after haggling with bill
a long time and ultimately purchasing the pelmeth
by way of joke took half-a-crown from his pocket mi
