troller in the same Office, damages in 'an aClion for

peared in another Paper a letter, retle'aing upon, the
charaalers of the parties; and't here were otlieriobser-
vations nizherially 'tending to injure them. tinder
these circumstances,/ hese Gentlemen thought itlight
to take such a course of proceeding, as should afford
to the Defendants an opportunity of proving the truth
of the. tads they had thought fit to lay to the charge
of the Plaintitti. Each. therefore commenced his
a&ion. The Detendants,.Mll4-CiOUS;" as .1 may now
say, they could not prove the truth of the matters
alledgedln this publication, submitted that judgment
should go by default.. The next proceeding was, that.
yoke should to assess the damage. lam now
to state that tile 'Defendants haVer done the best thing
they Could ,do, as 'icing most, honourable to•thetn-
selves, and consented to an arrangement, • We shalt
therefore give you, Gentlemen, no trouble. We have
agreed upon certain terms, which I am at liberty. to
state, and your verdict will be given, ther4fore., mere-
ly nominally.- The terms are, that upon payment;
by the Defendants 'of the full costs, and upon farther
payment of 2001. and an apology being made, the
proceeding' shall be at an end."
Mr. ABBOTT here :read the
.apology which had
been agreed upon by the respeaive Counsel ; an'
concluded with 'stating that he had made this ar-
rangement in the absence of the Plaintitfs, and he
trusted-the Jury would think that lie had acied pro-
perly. •

Mr. JEKYLL- "
". Mr. Sheriff, and • Gentlemen of
the Jury. I have ' one satiseaction, the only one
feel on the present occasion, that I shall' not be
obliged to trespass upon your Gine. I admit, with
my Learned Friend, that what 'lts been stated in'
this publication is not maintainable by legal evidence;
and I hope you will concur in the fair eukigium he
has delivered, that from..the inability of proqf,•the
Defendants haVe demeaned themselveS like men of
morality and honour, and in a manner conducive to
the maintainanceof their characters. It is needless to
speak here of the libertykot the press, or of its licen-
tiousness ; but I may say of my, clients, that the Pa 7.
per, by them -conduCted,' is: known by Its character
lint to be prostituted to party purposes', or. private ca-
lumny.
The SHERIFF then shOrtly stated the nature of the
case, and left the Jury to find their verclift in. the
RIM stated in the declaration.
