persons calling at the defendant's house to inquire
for the plaintiff, that the slanderous words were
spoken. Defendant entered into conversation 'with
these individuals, and told one of them that plaintiff
" was connected with a bad set ;" and said to others
that " lie was a complete swindler." The conse-
quence was that the plaintiff sustained considerable
