JURY COURT, EDlNeviton, WC,If iIDAT, Jon t 9.

LORD ARCHIRALD HAMILTON O. MINNA, OTWITINION.
Our readers are probably aware, shut some time to tbd
course of last year • periodical print was set op is this city,
and entitled The Drawn. If so, it is almost impost/161e but
that they most also know that teftrai prosectlions had
been commenced against that work. The present is the first
civil action arising out of it which bas yet been decided. It
came on to be tried this day before their Lordships, the dim
Commissioners, and • Jury.
The report of this trial occupies several colonise of the
Edinburgh Slat. The subject was a libel upon Lord Archl
bald Hamilton, the nature of which may be collected lion:
the following eatract• from the charge of Om Lord Commis.

Hamilton were in the common cant which was Used apea
such occasions. They contain a great deal about • indefeasi-
ble privileges,' and ' impiescriptible lights,' and 'the Reap.
lutists of 1688: sod s the enlightened Burgesses of Crain"
Nuw, the evidence proved all this not to be fair die-
cattalos, bat a malicious invention of the writer. This,
it was true, was an attack on Lord Hamilton's pub
lie, and not his private character ; but thee it stated
things of that public character which were proved to he false.
In this case the Jury would observe that au injury was cote-
plaiued of, except what the Persuer mast have suffered in
his own feelings; and he believed that he curried the opt.
nions of both his Lammed Brothers with hiss, as well as
that of the Pursuer, when be said ibat to this ease bethought
the injury which had been anatainsd would be sufficiently re.
paired by their verdict. " Vindictive" damages was a term
which ought sever to be nail ; and sere he was that there
could not be any thing viudictive in the intention of
Lord Hamilton; neither did he apprshead that eves en-
?topiary damages were demanded. This was all which be
had tii say; and he felt convinced, that should they agree
with him in the justice of • verdict for the Planter, they
would see the propriety of steering rely far clear of eaces-
sisredamages.

The Jury retired for half an bony, and mben they returned
