ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
MIDLAND CIRCUIT Warwick, July 28.
(Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON and a Common Jury,

BROWN V. SMITII. i
This was an action for libel against the proprietor of
the Wolverhampton and Staffordshire Herald, to which
the defendant pleaded not guilty.
Mr. Macaulay, Q.C., and Mr. Field appeared for the
plaintiff; Mr. Sergeant Miller and Mr. Hayes for the
defendant.
The plaintiff in this action, Mr. Henry Box Brown,
is a negro, who was born a slave at Richmond, in Ame-
rica. His wife and children were sold away from him,
and he escaped to Philadelphia in a box, packed up as
luggage. In that way he travelled 300 miles, as he
stated in his evidence, obtaining air through three
gimlet holes which he had made in the box. After his
escape he attended the Anti-Slavery Convention at
Boston, and was befriended by the advocates of eman-
cipation. He then wrote and published a narrative of
his life, and with the proceeds of the sale procured the exe-
cution of a pa.norama illustrative of African and Ame-
rican slavery. This ho exhibited in America, until the
passing of the Fugitive Slave Bill, when he deemed it
prudent to come to England. He arrived in Liverpool
in 1850, and exhibited his panorama there with suc-
cess. As the different views of the panorama
presented themselves in succession, the plaintiff ex-
plained them in a kind of lecture, in which he enlarged
upon the horrors of slavery, and the cruelties to which
the slaves were subjected. Some of the pictures repre-
sented the flogging of female as well as male slaves, and
also the burning of slaves alive. The plaintiff had tra-
velled and lectured in Manchester, Bolton, and all the
principal towns of Lancashire and Yorkshire, and at
last he came to Wolverhampton, in Staffordshire. He
declared himself to be patronized by the clergy and by
schools, but his exhibition was highly disapproved by
the editor of the Wolverhampton Herald, who, on the
lfith of March last, published the following criticism,
which was one of the libels complained of:—
" PANORAMA OF SLAVERY.—In consequence of an ad-
vertisement in our columns we looked in at the Corn •
Exchange on Monday evening to see Mr. Henry Box
Brown's panorama, which, like his oral representation
of slavery, is a gross and palpable exaggeration. If the
best and most authentic descriptions of American slavery
are to be credited; if the pictorial illustrations of the
Southern States, given us by Banvard, Risley, Smith,
Russell, and other artists; if the evidence of travellers in
the slave States is to be relied upon; and lastly, if the
statements of even former slaves themselves are to be
accepted and credited—then is Mr. Box Brown's pano-
rama without a feature of resemblance, andble his so-called
' eloquent and poetical address' a jumd mass of
contradictions and absurdities, assertions without proof,
geography without boundary, and horrors without
parallel. The representation, to our thinking, instead
of benefiting the cause of abolition, is likely,
want of vraisemblance and decency, to degenerate dis-
gust at the foppery, conceit, vanity, and egotistical
stupidity of the Box Brown school. To paint the devil
blacker than he is, certes, a work of supererogation—.
and to make the slave states a series of inquisitorial
chamber of horrors--asort of Bluebeard or Giant Des-
pair den, for the destruction, burning, branding lacera-
tion, starving, and working of negroes; and the owners
of slaves a class of demi-fiends, made of double-distilled
brimstone—is about as reasonable as giving his Satanic
Majesty a coat of black paint to increase his hideousness,
How clergymen and other respectable individuals, end
even pertions of the press could lend themselves to such
a juggle we do not know, but testimonials from such

they are full of fulsome compliment to the bejewelled

ance bespeaks the gullibility of our most credulous age
and nation. We had an intelligent Ameri •
can gen-
tleman who has won a name throughout the
civilized world, by oar: aide at this exhibition,
and who has visited the Slaves states often,
and seen the development of slavery in every
phase, and he declared to us that both the description
pictorial and description oral were as characteristic and
resemblant of the original scenes and of slavery as a
, young cabbage of a full-blown rose. We, therefore,
