Boyle was nonsuited through the misdirection of that
judge, who committed a double error in the suit,
es,
proved by the ruling of the court. Mr. Boyle
a new trial, and the second suit came on for hearing be.
fore Mr. Baron Platt in March last, at Kingston, when
the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff (Mr. nclle)-:
the ter
damages 1,0001. In this second suit, through
take of Mr. Baron Platt, and not on the merits of tinl
case, the unfortunate plaintiff has been sent to a third
trial in the same suit. No language can be well stronger
than that of Mr. Byron Platt, which is as follows, ek
traded from the shorthand writer's notes : ch
" It certainly appears to me to be a very great rePrea
to the law of this country that the plaintiff bas been es-
obtaic a.
sailed by a libel, and to this moment he has not been
able to prove to the satisfaction of the court the publicise
tion of it by the libeller. And I must say that I greatly
regret that any mistake of mine—for I must take it t.r,
granted lam mistaken—that any mistake of mioe shouer
have prevented the plaintiff on his second attempt merely
to prove the publication by the defendant of the libelt
ths
for that purpose, and not on the merits of the ease,
he should again have failed."
