Mr. Leah appeared for the plaiatiff rat $ denamver to
plieation fa street milling in quesdon eras pleas to as site a
of debt for 161.
By the first the defendant alleged that he had sued
the plaintiff la the Brea County Court, and recovered
judgment *mein for 101. and 61. orals, which judgment was
pleaded as an Grasped to taliopesest ration.
To this the etaladff that by the rake of the
'Dusty wart five days' Ma esiasff was required, and
that as he had not eamplied therewith Wyse prevested from
geing into the question cf his set-off. The seemed plea slant
up the judgment of the county court by way of set-ce to the
pretest whoa.
It was now argued that the repliostios was • per7ect an-
swer to the first plea, eves Bit could bara afforded a defence
to the action. As it was, however, ft was dear that the
set-eff could not have bees decided la the Candy Court, and
the then defendant could mow sue for it. The second plea
was objected to on the grossed that it did not seek:randy
allege that the County Court had jurisdiction own the sub
jest matter of the (judgment then est up by way of eat of;
and in the next place it was argued that the jadgmest of •
County Court was sot a debt which could be set of,
but merely an equitable decision of • quasi arbitrator.
Mr. Braid, for the defendant, submitted that the second
plea was tree from the technical objestioa, sad that as the
judgment was prised facie right, it was to betaken to have
been in a matter over which the judge had jurisdiction. As
to the jedgethat not beiag a debt, he insisted that it was as
much • debt and the subject of set off, as the judgment of •
superior court would be. With respect to the Bret plea and
replication, he argued that the court would look upon the
record and judgment below as &balms verity, and deal with
them as 'Wetting the set off, which could not now he made
the subject of a set off.
Mr. Baron Alderson was of (Tinton that the first plea was
answered by the replication, and that the judgment ought
to be thereon for the defendant, as the rules of the County
Court expressly excluded this eat off from the considera-
tion of the court. As to the strand plea, the rule was clear
that juriedicion ought to be expressly averred in all infe-
rior courts, and the opinion of this court was, that the plea
was defective is that respect. ..fhe defendant, however,
might amend within • fortnight unites both parties con-
sented to a stet prcseseus, sad so put an end to litigation.
Judgment accordingly.

08/IORKI IP. RIDUUT.-ALLIOID

This was an action to recover compensation in damages
for an alleged libel. Plea, not guilty,
It appeared from the opening statement that the libel
which formed the subject of the action was contained in •
letter written by the defendant to • relative of the plaintiff.
It contained serious aspersions on his personal character, and
he had no alternative but to vindicate it by brining the
present action. No injury could be more ruinous to a man
who had only his personal exertions to rely on for subsist.
este than to impeach his character, and especially his ho-
nesty. The libel complained of sostained mere than
vague imputations, for it directly dinged the
plaintiff with this commission of a felony. It so
happened that the defendant had in his service a sister of the
plaintiff 'a wife, and having been robbed of jewellery and
other property to the extent of 3001, he indicted and suc-
ceeded in convicting the sister and two other persons, one of
them, Mrs. Jennings, being another sister of the plaintiff's
wile. In tee course of the proceedings the plaintiff was
applied to with a view to discover all the parties connected
with the robbery. He afforded every information he could
give, and appeared as a witness in support of the promentien
against his sisters in-law. In fact the conviction was ob-
tamped mainly npin his evidence. The defendant, however,
afterwards wrote some letters to the plaintiff's mother-in-
law, and the libel was contained in one of them. It was in
the, terms :

--iffuePOleoireet, Cavendialloquere, Aped 10. —Mn. Rogers—lt was
not my intention to have addressed you again on theainful subject
of my two former letters, btrzum I was unwilling to life you any
farther mien-Mess, and to opus your feelings tram dwelling upon—
what I am sure must have distressed you and your n. isle ham
baod—the evil pm-Wieser several members of your family, and which
had they followed the counsel and since of their respectable wrote,
they never would have fallen into. As I understand you occasionally
hear from some one of them, and are misinformed as to what really is
the state of the cam, for I fun very sorry to be obliged to state the
mod wilful and barefaced untruths have, from the first to the last,
been uttered, by every one of the parties concerned in the seas—rob-
bery in this house by those in confinement, as sell as those who are
not at present. I very reluctantly deem it right to tell you what has
come to my knowledge within the last few days, by
which you will see how much moon I have to complain
of the conduct of those in whom I trusted, and in whom I plat-coca:i-
ndent?, as well as the care of my property during my temporary ab.
mace from home. You will perhaps hardly credit the fact that your
daughter Elizabeth, after the plunder of the closet, in which ad my
plate, linen, Mrs. Itidout's jewels, and other property to the amount
of about 3001. was kept, proposed, Ned was mummy sad isaeaded,
with the view of eluding all oasts of the robbery, to set flee to the
house and hue' It down. This was to have eeen done by first setting
fire to the clout. A more eaperienced pence; however, suggested
that that was not the proper way of doing it, and recommended the
house bring fired from below. Fortunately foe me, Shia diabolical
plan was overruled, and my house was spared. It has also come to
as, knowledge that Mrs. Oeborne, although in my several interviews
with her before and atter the trials of Elizibeth and Mrs. John Jen-
nings, aasured rue she was never In my house, still that she was here
repeatedly, as well is her children, and whilst she was
here, baring previously purchased ticking*, she, with the
assistance of I..abella Jennings, made bees, and having done se,
ohs Wit from afferent beds in the house a quantity of
which rho carried off to her own house. Her husband, Osborfnteraiiii
am informed, carried off a feather Led from one of the rooms over
the laundry. In addition to the feregolng I was at the same time
told that the Osborne, bad received a portion of the stolen linen.
I do not, however, believe that they bare &nye( it now in their poe-
reenien, but that it has been turned int t cash to avoid detection. But
for entertaining snob belief I should have had recourse to a search
warriud from the magistrate of this quarter. That, however, ie out
of thz question, as I know full well nothing belonging to me would
now be found in the house. lam fully grieved to be obliged to men-
tion all these circumstances to you; but I have deemed it right that
you should know the truth, and that such information I have had
communicated to me within the last few dam and which I have bad
every reason to believe to be the use. • • • C. U. 114/1.111:7.

iciMrs. !Lisp n, Axminster Devonshire.
Mr. Pulley then addressed she jury oa behalf of the de-
fendant and contended that they n.ust be satisfied he we.
actuated by malice in writing the letter complained of before
they could award damages against biro. He had suffered to
a great extent by the misconduct of the plaintiff's two aisten-
in-law, and the letter written to their mother was a pritiicged
communication. The two tint letters written by the de-
fendant were with reference to a young girl who was also a
member of the s ,me family and wnom he believed to have
been honest and well conducted. Ills olject Ives to induce
Mrs. Rogers to remove her daughter from London, where
the probability was she would become contaminated by asso-
ciating with disreputable characters. The correspondecce
originated in that way, and the letter which formed the sub-
ject of the action was within thou which were protected by
law, on the ground that it was written bona fide, and in fact
under a sense of duty. Any just and couscientieus man
would have acted as the defendant had, as he was coa-
'Woad the young woman whom be was anxious to rescue
from ruin was correct and might have been saved. His
conduct in the transaction was most meritorious and t hari-
table.

The Lord Chief Baron, in summing up, said he entertained
some doubt as to whether the letter could be regarded as a
privileged communication, but last any question should an.*
upon it he should reserve leave for the defendant
to move the court eta's. He doubted whether the connexion
between the defendant and the plaintiff's mother-in-law was
such as to justify Mr. Ridont to make such a commuoication
at all. There did not appear to have been any legal or
moral obligation on him to do so. It was, however, for
thim to say whether under all the circumstances they con-
sidered the letter was written bona fide, or whether the
defendant was actuated by malice.
The Jury at once returned a verdict for the defendant.
They also found that the letter was written bona fide, and
without malice.

Mr. Chambers suggested that the damages should be
assessed contingently.
The Lord Chief Baron said it might save some expense
if the jury assessed the damages sustained by the plaintiff,
in the event of the court being of opinion that the verdict
ought to have been for him.
The Foreman objected to finding any damages for the
plaintiff, after the opinion the jary had already expressed ;
however, ultimately, they assessed them contingently at one
farthing.
The verdict was accordingly Wand for the defendant.
