A trial for libel acainst the MArquis of Westmeath
was commenced yesterday in the Court of Exchequer,
the plaintiff being Captain Wynn, who had acted aa
Poor-law Inspector in the union of Carrick-on-Shan-
non, in which the noble andquis was chairman. The
libel complained of was in the shape of a petition to
parliament, prepared by the Marquis of Westmeath
and adopted by the board, and which I.ad been exten-
sively circulated in printed slips and in newspapers.
The libel was chiefly contained in the following para-
graph of the petition, viz. :
That the appoint went of any individual to be investor,
and to act arbitrarily over us, will appear to have been
equally reprehensible, he having, previously to his removed,
.eopeled one of the Yellen's,/ offl.:ers ti pleases the
relief list a werasn of bad character, with whoa be wee
eAribittog, and on the relieving officer rettaiog to do so,
inn informing him that she held ground, and was not in
need of outdoor reli.4, he penis:rd in brirging the ease
' before the vice-guardisne, who refused her raief, and this
, mu done on three several °cessions; that an investigation
was &mended of the comunuionets upon this immorality,
and evaded by them.
The defence relied on was justification ; and some
witnesses were produced to prove the existenoe of
improper familiarities between the plaintiff and the
w. man in question. The c tee, however, Lad not
terminated when the court rose.
