LAIV INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
MONDAY, MARCH 5.
SLANDER:-BISHCi• V. PRY.

This was an action so recover damages for slanderous
words spoken by the defendant.
Sajcant Pell stated the case for the plaintiff, who is a
solicitor. It happened on the 19th of December last,
that the detention', who is an eminent banker, attended
a bankrupt's meeting at Guildhall, at which the plaintiff
was also present. It was the day ou which the assixtrees
were to be chosen, and several of the credi ore agreed to
appoint the plaintiff ouhicitor to the assionees; upon
which the defendain, who was also a creditor to a con-
siderable amount, said, " I do not think hint sufficiently
reputable to be employed in the busiaess) I would not
tru,t him wish 201." The defendant the day after, re-
peated similar expressions while transacting other busi-
ness it, ►he office of his own solicitors, and to recover a
compensation of damages for the injury he had, by the
use of such unjustilioble expressions, inflicted on the
the present action was brought.
Mr. riwainival proved his having heard the words
already mentioned used by the defendant, who addressed
them to the witness in the way of friendly caution, but
loud enough to be heard by others. The witness was a
creditor. as was also the defendant, to the amount of
11,0001._

r. Wahnsley proved the repetition of the words the
next day by the clefetulant, who said he would always
do his duty, and would if necessary, say what he had
said again, though it should cost hint 5001.
Sergeant Vaughan for the defendant, contended that
he had only exercised his right as a creditor by giving
his opinion of the person h was proposed to appoint
solicitor to the assignees.
The Chief Justice told the Jury, that as the defend-
ant had not denied hi. having spoken the words attri-
buted to him, the simp.e question for them was to decide
whether he had spoken them maliT.inusly, and on this
point the plaintiff 's own witness had declared, that he
considered the words spoken in the way of friendly cau-
tion.

The Jury, without hesitation, found a verdict for the
defendant.

TUESDAY. MARCH 6.
RYMER V. ABACK.

F This was an action for libel. The plaintiff, a
surgeon by profession, resides at Reigate, in Stirroy, and
composes a medicine called, "The cardiac and Nervous
Tincture"—sovereign even in the most opl osite cases
of human ailment. The defendant is the eili.or of a
monthly publication called %he Medical Gazclic—and
the libel charged was of a twofold character, consisting,
first in re flexions upon Mr. Rymer himself, and next in
attacks open the invaluable specific.
Dr. Reece, in his ansuer, denied any intent to hn-
peach the char:.cter of the plaintiff, but justified his
strictures urn.: ht Cardiac TitiCtt te."
It appv.mtl Imm the tsidelica that Mr. Rymer's pa
lent fir the dose in question bad expired ; and 'lie jury,
Del4titivit time personal libel, found a verdict for the de-
frodapt.
