EOFDON, TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 6, 1849.

A rule nisi for a new trial has been granted in the 1'
case of the Duke of BRUNSWICK v. Hartetee, in which,
it Bill be in the public recollection, a verdict for the
plaintiff was returned, with 800/. damages, during the
sittings of the last term. A more extraordinary, and
we will venture to add a moxinsportant case so far
as the public press ie cencerne7r, never came under the
consideration, of any tribunal, and we rejoice to find
that there is every reason to hope that the matter
will be subjected to a new and searching investiga-
tien, so that the real facts may be fully elicited, and
that whet we cannot help considering an erroneous
and dangerous decision may not pass into a precedent.
If Lord DRNMAN'S julgalent should unfor-
tunately be sustained there can be no
safety for newspaper proprietors. However
cautious they may be however anxious
to keep their journals strictly within the limits of
the law, and to avoid any publication for which they
could be held either civilly or criminally responsible
—they might be rendered liable for acts of
which they were completely innocent, and mulcted in
heavy costs' and enormous damages, when the mind
that conceived and the hand that penned the inottl-
pated article bad long passed away from this world.
Notwithstanding the great improvement effected by
Lord CAMPBELL'S Act, the state of the law of libel is
still sufficiently rigid and onerous, and it is of the
utmost consequence to all persons in any way con.
netted with the press that the stringency of that law
should not be unduly extended.
The case on behalf of the plaintiff at the original
trial was of a very extraordinary character. Five
distinct publications were complained of and charged
to' be libellous : of these, one had been printed
nearly nineteen years previously—eon the 19,11 of
September, 1830, a period of intense excitement, when
many revolutioas had taken place, and were of con-
stant occurrence, on the continent of Europe, and
when among others the plaintiff had been removed by
a popular movement from his hereditary dominions,
and from the Ducal Throne of Brunswick. At such
a time, and under such circumstances, it was by no
means surprising that so enthusiastic and ardent a
supporter of the democratic principle, and of the
supreme sovereignty of the people, as the Dispatch
has ever proved itself, should speak warmly and fear-
lessly ; that it should disregard the narrow limits to
which it would willingly restrict itself on other occa-
sions, and that it should cast aside all private or per
sonal considerations in order to advance the good
cause of which it was the zealous and unflinching
champion, the powerful and consistent advocate.
It entertained no animosity or malice against the
ex-Duke of Bauesvricie as a man, but it merely re-
garded bim as the opponent of popular rights, the
invader of Popular liberty. As such it spoke of him, not
for the purpose of injuring. the individual, but to
vindicate the pople over whom he heti formerly
reigned, and t ) exonerate them from the charge of
having wantonly or unnecessarily interfered with the
former repme. This, we believe, was the sole end
an 1 ohject of the article in question, and althoueh it
might possiely have, in some degree, exceeded the
leeititnate bounds cf comment upon the public cha-
raoter anti eenduct of a public man, great excuses
would naturally be made .f.)r the publishers, if corn- I
Voila had been made within the time properly set
apart foe incpiiry into such transactions.
The policy of the law had fixed on two years as
the full period within which an injured person
should receive every facility necessary f;r the full
and complete vindication of his character. By the
38th Geo. 111., c. 78, s. 17, it was provided that the
printer or publisher of every newspaper shall, upon
the day of publication, or within six days after,
deliver to the Commissioners of Stamps, at,
their head office, or to some .officer to be ap-
pointed by them to receive the same, one of
