ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
MIDLAND CIRCUIT arunc W 'k • .1a 1y" J.
(Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON and a Common Jury.)
BROWN v. SMITH.
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
gisalet holes which he had made in the box. After his
escape ho 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 panorama illustrative of African and Ame-
rican slavery. This he 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
17th of 16,:ch last, published the following criticism,
which was one of the libels complained of:—
" PANORAMA Or 51,AVERY.—In consequence of an ad-
vertisement in our colua2ns we looked in at the Corn •
Ex'abange on Monday eva"ning to see Mr. Henry Box
litre his oral representation
Brown's panorama, which,
of slavery, is a gross and palpdale exaggeration. If the
best and mostauthentic descritatiotat of American slavery
are to be credited; if the pictoTial illustrations of the
ace of travellers in
Southern States, given us by Bak•Vard, Risley, Smith,
tand lastly, if the
Russell, and other artists; if the evide:
the slave States is to be relied upon;
statements of even former slaves themselcats are to be
accepted and credited—then is Mr. Box Browat'a pano-
rama without a feature of resemblance, and his so-called
' eloquent and poetical address' a jumbled 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, from its
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— sort of l3luebeard or Giant Des-
pair den, for the destruction, burning, branding lacera-
tion, starving, and working of negroesthe 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 clergaimen and press could
individuals, and
even portions' of the press could lend themselves to such
one, we do not know, but testimonials from such

men (who don btless received Box Brown's description
as unmingled
portly figure and and overdressed appear-
they are full of fulsome compliment to the bejewelled

ance bespeaks ttaa gullibility of our most credulous ago
and nation. Ntao had an intelligent American gen-
tleman who has won a name throughout the

civilized world, by our: side at this exhibition,
and who
and seen the development of slavery in every
phase, and he declttred to us that both the description
pictorial and description oral were as characteristic and
resemblant of the original scenes and of blthe
avery as a
young cabbage of - full-blown rose. We, refore,
t caution those who nay attend to expect only amuse-
