niter ? If the case should be made out, and the De-
fendant be called up for judgment, iheCourt could
not allow a thing of the kind to paw lightly by.
Mr. GAIIktOW raid, his client had felt the impro-
priety of his conduct from the first • moment after
lie lisil sent the letter iii question. He was now in-
structed publicly to express the Defendant's sorrow-
for hdvin,4 written. the letter, a morrow which his
client would iionself have expressed in writing, were
lie not at this moment unable to nee him arm, which

to ilijtve the credit of Donovan, did, on the im-
pulse of the moment, and while in a state of
write the libel in question.
The Jury without heintation found the Defendant
