This war, an aitiou firt the uttering of a scandal, and ita
subsequent publication as a libel. The defendant pleaded
not pulty.
Mr. feMaller and Mr. Field were counsel for the plain-
tiff ; Mr. Macaulay and Mr. Thompson Chitty repreaented
the defendant.

It appeared from the case for the plaintiff that he is a
hairdresser and triyahop-keeper at Kettering, in Northamp-
t.m.hire, of which parish Ile is also thiepour late collector.
nucleic:Want is a journeyman weaver of the eanic place, and
occupies in addition the post of town crier, in which capa-
city he published the libel complained of. In consequence of
directions received IT the overseers from the snood of guar-
dians for the collection of the poor-rate at a period 114)M0
mouths in !advance of the usual time, the pleiutiff as col-
leeten was ordered to get them in, and be SLIMMIAMI ,nude
of the defaulters before the magistrates. Ihi. caused a
great deal of excitement and ill-feeling in Kettering, where
party spirit runs unusually high, and thc town crier was
mowed to cry out a pros:Lunation coustitutiN the Nisi on
the I th of May lad, the day before the haulm; of the sum-
mouses by the magistrates. On the day previous an
account had been published in the newspapers of
the embezzlement of parochial funds by the col-
lector of No. 4 Weed, Paddington. The alleged
libel was as follows :—" Oh, yes Oh, yes ! Oh, yes !
This is to give notice that all who are interested in the pay-
ment of poor-rate would do well to read in the morning
papers of the 16th of May of an embezzlement of 1,527 f.
ity a poor-rate collector of No. 4 Ward, Paddington. They
would do well to plan* their own money into prayer hands,
and where it would Le safe. It does not state that the
collector kept a hunter or a rocking horse? It was alleged
that the latter paragraph pointed to the plaintiff, who
*old rocking horses, and who, being addicted to field sports,
kept a hunter. The plaintiff, on hearing the proclamation
rtad, called upon the defendant and warned him to
desist, demanding an apology, and that he would
give up the name of the parson who had en-
gaged hint. The defendant subsequently returned to the
plaintif. shop, and stated he bail been advised to make an
apology, which he did, but he declined punitively to give
up the name of the potty who had retained his services, and
who he and had iudeitinified him against all proceedings.
The defendant having persisted in this refusal the plaintiff
was compelled te bring hie action in order to vindicate his
character.

Messrs. Tye and Dixon coincided with the evidence given

Mr. O'Malley having opened the above facts, which were
afterwards proved by the plaintiff and his witnesses, offered
to take a verdict with nominal damages if the defendant
would give up the name of his employer or employers,
make an apology, end pay the costa incurred ; but this offer
was declined.

Mr. Macaulay having addressed the jury in mitigation of
damages,
Thu learned Judge Yunimftl up, laying it down as a
matter of law that no town crier was compelled to proclaim
a libel. He said it was a most monstrous thing that a re-
spectable tradesman could be libelled by a person who was
set on and supported by others, and who, while they shel-
tered themselves from their anonymous slander, were pro-
bably the real defendants in the cause.
The jury foiled a verdict for the plaintiff damages 40a.,
expresaing an opinion that the cause shouli have been tried
at Northampton.
The learned judge certified, under the new act, for amts.

' INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT.—JaN. 16.
(Before the Chief Commiesioner.)
le RE ROBERT MINER.
This insolvent, ilea in the office of one of the taxing
masters of the Court of Chancery, applied under toe Pro-
tection Act.
Mr. Terry appeared for two creditors, and two °then
opposed in person. Mr. Sargood supported.
The Insolvent owed about 3001., and proposed to set aside
601. a year out of his salary for his creditors. The creditors
who appeared were willing to accept the offer, bet wanted to
know what security they had that it would be paid, as they
bad little or no faith in his word.
The Chief Commissioner explained that there was no
security, and if the insolvent did not keep up his quarterly
payment, be could pt no protection. When there was •
sufficient sum in court, a dividend would be &atm!, and
creditors in any case could always learn in the office of the
court the prlgrese of • matter.
The Court appointed the 15th February for the ascend
hearing.

cause I had not applied for a voucher as the notice states.
That is an assumption not allowed by the low. If I had

but could not go to the hall without first obtaining the
stewards' assent for a voucher, which is nothing else than a

Mr Alfred Turner, the solicitor to the Whitechapel Ihard
of Works, attended to watch the case on the part of the
trm. ne jury at an eerie hour assembled at the
scene of the disaster, and made • opecial survey of
the ruins. A number of witnesses having been examined
the jury returned the following special verdict :—" That the
deceased died from the mortal effects of scalds and other

he railed an act of parliament, into whizh the judge looked,

without much enlightenment, returned it to the owner.

magistrate, when they obtained • verdict %Mind him for

and ca. 'a. had been issued against him by Mr. Taylor. of
fleshy!, the plaintiff's attorney. The case having
been brought before the judicial notice of the
Lord Chancellor, the defendant was removed from
the commitudon of the peace, and since that pc.
tied he has conducted himself with econung
propriety until last week, when a writ of fi. (a. was issued
against him at the cult of his solicitor, Mr. Cram, of New-
castle, for his costs. The writ was placed in the hands of
Mr. W. Stiouthorpos, sheriff's officer, of flexham, andiome
of his men went to execute the process on Thuridry last,
but tat going to Mr. Bewicke's reaidcnce at Threepwood-
hall, Hitt. found he had put his house in order, and
strongly barricaded it to prevent the sheriff's offi-
cers from entering. In the evening, WI the two
men, W. Hutchinson and J. Daglish, of Hexham, were in
Mr. Bewicke'• cart-shed, waiting to get into the house. Mr.
Bewicke.spo.ke out of a window, and inquired if there was
any person in the shed, and Hutchinson having replied in
the affirmative, Mr. Bewicke said, " Then I am going
to shoot," and forthwith discharged a fowling piece, loaded
with ball, at Hutchinson and Daglish, but happily without
effect, as the ball whizzed part Hutchinson 's ear, and struck
against a pillar of the shed. He then tired four or five title-
cesisive shots in less than as many minutes from the IMMO im-
plement of destructiou, but still most providentially without
injuring either of the men. Information of this outrage
having ttftu communicated to Mr. Superintendent Stephen-
son of }terbium, that vigilant officer, with as efficient stuff
of Officer., proceeded to Threepwaxl-lull, where he dex-
terously apprehended Bewicke, who wade • violent and
vigorous resistance, and conveyed him to the Hexbiun House
of Correction, on Saturday, where he continual until Mon.
day morning, when he] was brought before the sitting jus-
tices, John Errington, Esq„ and the Rev. George Bellamy,
who, after a long and patient investigation, committed the
prisoner for trial at the next Northumberland Spring
Andres for feloniously shooting at Hutchinson and Daglish
with a pistol loaded with powder and bell. The pistol, or
rather rifle. is a revolving one, with five or six barrels,
and on being produced by Mr. Stephenson, it was found to
ho an article of exquisite workmanship, and: calculated to
do • great deal of mischief. Bail, in the mum of I,OW/.
having been offered and accepted for the appearance of the
accused at the amissa, he was liberated from custody. The
affair has created a groat sensation in the neighbourhood,
where the accused is known. Mr. Taylor, of Ilexham is
'
retained to conduct the prosecution, and Mr. Stokoe for the
defence. At the same time the defendant was bound over
in the suns of WM to keep the peace towards Mr. W.
Stainthorpe for twelve months, as Le had threatened to
shoot him.
