TUB ZING V. INOWN.
This wag an indictment against the Defendant,
for wilful and corriipt perjury. The declaration
stated, that the Defendant, in an answer put in by
him to a bill in Chancery, swore that he had not
sold certain utensils and stock in trade, the contrary
being the tact.

The Defendant, it appeared, was joint-patentee
wish three persons, of the names of Norcote, Newet,
and Graham, of en invention for making casks and
other vessels, in a superior manner. Those dine
persons gave up the 'matelot and machinery to the
Defendant, one quarter of it being secured to pay
• certain sum of money annually. The payments
not having been regularly made, • bill was filt-cl nt
Chancery soloist the Defendant, in wloich it was
alleged, that lie had sold off the stock-in-trade and
machinery—that he had removed from his usual
place of residence—ond Messrs. Norcote, Newet,
and Graham, had no means of coming on ht or
the sum which he was hound to pay. In the We-
fendent's answer. he stated, that he hail entered
into two agreements. He was to pay 7400/. iu
the whole-4,000/. when he was put in loosse.sioon of
the machinery and stock-in-trade, and 3,2001. by
bills, at three, six, nine, and twelve months. It
also stated, that he never intended to ),:11 all the
stock-in-trade and machinery. What machinery
he had sold wes worn out, and brought only the
price of old wood and iron. In consequence of this
'answer, the parties who filed the bill were prevent.
ed-from cuing out a writ of as creel regeo. They
now preferred this indictment for perjury. as they
alleged th.it they would prove the fact of the De-
fendant having sold the machinery and stock-in-

trade,
Mr. MINYA', for the Defendant, objected,
Hirt. in the declaration it was set forth, that
" having entered into such an agreement, the De-
fendant did so and DO:" whereas, lois 110111111er was,
that, " hawing entered into such agreements," &c.
This the Learned Counsel submitted was a fatal
v4riance.
Mr. Justice HOLILOTD concurred in the validity
of the objection--and, under his Lordship's diner
non, the Defendant was found Nu! Guilty.
INTLIVII V. OLIMItA.
This was an oaten to recover damages for a ma.
licions libel, of and concerning the Pl ft', which
the Defendant had published, with intent to injows
.m in his profession of. school-master.
Mr. Guitsur stated the case. as it was after-
wards detailed in evidence.
Mr. R. Brown, of the firm of Keating, Brown.
and Co. booksellers, Duke-street, Grosvenor.
square. was acquainted with the Pls. who
keeps a school. ‘Vitsiess publishes The Laityte
Directory, iu which Mr. Mylios's IMMO as inserted.
Defendant placed his two children at the PI • 'ff's
school. Its March lest, a letter now in Count, was

received by Ins Deaner, Mr. Keating, signed by
the Defendant. From the hand-writing he believed
it tollave been penned by him. Mr. Oliveira was a
'native of Madeira. The .tale in which the letter
was rourlied Was that of a foreigner.
Mr. Keating, the partner of the last witness, re-
ceived a letter in March last, from Mr. Oliveira, re.
fleeting on the Plaintiff's conduct. Witness re-
commended Mr. Mylias's school to the D«fesidant.
He knew that the Defendant had vent some young
gentlemen to Plaintiff's school. Lie after heard
Oliveira •huse the school, after the young gentle-
men were taken from it.
Mr. show., bring again railed, stated that lie had
lied some converser' wills Defeeidand before the
letter cosine. He found fault with Plaintiff's school,
and said he should write a letter about it.
The letter to Mr. Keating was then put in mid
read. It sweet, that Mr. Keating having been the
taproot' who introduced Defendant to Plaintiff, he
thought it right to inform him, that Mylius was as
low, as Incest, and as vulgar a wretch, as ever exist-
ed, and lie would be wecfssiated to go to law fur the
money he owed him. He could not conceive oil
what ground Mr. Keating could recommend such
a wretch to him. He hail never half-a-down
children of any families of character, in Isle school ;
and, if ever lie had, it was by mere chance.
A second letter, from Defendant to Plaintiff, was
then read. It shoed, that ar the Plaintiff did nut
Ichoose, to answer Defeudarit's former letter, he was
obliged to address him Hobs. His school was the
destruction of youth, and, therefore, he directed
I the Plaintiff to return, by the bearer, the books,
i clothes, tic. of his son., and to restore to I ' part
of the money he hail advanced, when they entered
the school, deducting at the rate of 50/. per annum
: for the time they were there. If he did tint corn-
: ply, in 24 hours, an action should be commenced
i against I .
Mr. Hutchinson stated, that he won Si' CAM in
Minutia 's school, at Carshaltins. Defendant sent
his three Anna there, in the Christmas holidays, 1817.
I Cross-examsined.--They were taken away in
March. Half a year's salary had been advanced fur
each of them.
I Mr. W. Byrne stated, that he was guardian to
i two boys of the name of Dr Silva. Ile sent them
to Plaintiff's school, twelve mouths ago. They
were still there. Some tittle ago the Defendant
