express ACt of Pailkiment. The Jury accordingly
fotind a verdi& of—Guilty:

THE RING V. DANIEL LOVELL, ESQ.

The Defendant in this case was, brought up from
the King's Bench Prison, for final judgment, having
suffered judgment by default upon ati infortnation
• for a libel. against Peter Cazalet,, Esq. as already
'mentioned in a former. Paper.
Mr. Justice Gaosa, in pronouncing the sentence
of-the Court; addresSed t he. Defendant nearly as fbl-
lows'':—‘.‘ You, Daniel LoVell; stand self-convieied
of publishing a most avrocious and scandalous ca-
lumny upon the Prosecator, whd is stated to be a
respe&able b'an'ker of the city of London. From
the-proceedings. it-appears, that the Prosecutor had
subscribed- a policy of insurance for a Gentleman
for whom you aaed, 'and that you afterwards made
a,demand upon him for the loss ; and, surely, if he
had a doubt whether he was bound to pay it or not,
he had a right to resist such a. payment :mail that
doubt was removed, and you. might have brought
your 'action in a Court of Law to recover. that
amount ; but such. is the wisdom of the laws under:;
which we live, that payment is not to._ be' coin'::
polled by force, threats, or by any foul and
scandalous phimnies. You appear- to have been
fully aware the extent of your offence, and
when the Solicitor applied to you, you triumphantly
told him you would publish a mach worse libel,
so that the Prosecutor, should not be able to show
his-face upon the Stock Exchange. You tell us,
by way of mitigation of punishment, that at. the
time , you committed this apt, you were ignorant
that, you were offending' agaimit. the w 5 but we
cannot; upon the. evidence before us, believe that to,
be the jae,t ; for it is impossible for any 'man, in the
ordinary course of life; to be more lgnorant of. this-.
offence, than any other, otl'ence against the law of'
he land; if, however, these- groundS'of mitigation
'ore 'well founded, it will he the ,duty of this Couit,
'by punishment and example,: to teach men what the
law is upon this subj-. 1 ; to' open your 'eyes, there-
-fore, fo convince you of your mistake, and to-prevent
a repetition of such offences in futnre, this Court
'cloth order and adjudge,. that you do-pay a fine to the
King of 501. and that you be recommitted to the
'custody of the Marhal of the :Marsbalsea for one.
calendar-month, and at the end of, that periOd you
do give security for your futpre good behaviour for
'the space of three years, yourself' in 5001, and two
sureties in 1501. each." - .

Mr. OMM-ONV applied :for,.a Conditional' Ru.le to

mination.. The paragraph alluded to, by way of
