COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, DEC. 1.5.
(Before Mr. Baron GOKNEY and a Common Jury.)
BENHAM V HARDIER AND OTHERS.—LIBEL.
This was an action for libel brought by the Rev. Spencer
Benham, Baptist Minister. of Rickmansworth, against the
proprietors of the Weekly Dispatch newspaper. The
defendants pleaded a justification. The aileged libels
which were published ie three several ninebeie of the Dis-
patch, charged the plaintiff with conduct unbecoming a
clergyman—that he bad horsewhipped his slife, had sepa-
rated himself from her, and had committed adultery with
a young female residing in his house, and that all the re.
spectable part of his congregation had left him.
Mr. Kelly and Mr. Humphreys appeared for the plain-
t fr, and Mr. Thesiger and Mr. Cook for the defendants.
Mr. KELLY having eddie used the Jury at considerable
length for the plaintiff, and expatiated upon the enormity
of publishing such vile slanders upon a minister of the
Gospel, then proved the publication of the paper and its
application to the plaintiff.
Mr. TIIESIGER then addressed the Jure for the defen-
dants, and in the course of his speech stated that the
plaintiff hat: been originally a shoemaker, and his wife
kept a grocer's shop. He then proceeded to state the
facts which were afterwards given in evidence as a justifi-
cation of the statements contained in the paper. He also
read several extracts from a pamphlet published by the
plaintiff, intitled " The Pastor's Vindication from the
aspersions of false bretinen and the fancies of weak
bretl.ren," in which the plaintiff admitted having heree•
whipped his wife and separated Irons her. Some of the
passages the Learned Counsel designated as °filthy end
disgusting," while others convulsed the Court with
laughter.
Jobe Hill proved the publication of the pamphlet by the
plaintiff.
Thomas Jolley—l was a deacon of plaintiff's congree
gation at Rickmansworth. The plaintiff formerly worked
as a shoemaker. I recollect Miss Dover being received
into the Baptist congregation. That step displeased her
friends, and she wen, 'e, live with the plaintiff. The shop
was given up to Miss Dover's mabagement. I heard something
of rough music having been played for the plaintiff, and went
to ask him about it. I was present at the Chapel when
Mr. Benham spoke about the rough music. hie then said
he bad hit his wife a time or two with the whip. That she
was not his wife in the eyes of God, bet only by the paltry
laws of his country. I have left plaintiff's congregation
since then, as I did not approve of his conduct. Mr.
King, who bad been a geacon for nine years, publicly gave
up his office before the congregation, for the same reasons.
I knew the room Mrs. Benham lived in, and I thought it
unfit for a female to live in. I never saw any se naptovas of
derangement in Mrs. Benham.
John Temple—l ten a shoemaker at Rickmansworth.
I have attended the plaintiff's chapel, and was teacher at
his Sunday school. I remember Miss Dover coming to
live at plaintiff's house. Plaintiff and his wife always ap-
peared to live very comfortably. They bad, besides the
Sunday school, a grocer's shop. I gave up attending the
plaintiff's Sunday school, because I was ashamed to go
any longer in consequence of the reports that were circu-
latcd. The i laintiff, in the course of his sermon on one
occasion, referred to the " rough music," and the annoy-
ance it had given him during the week. He said it was
through beating his wife—that he had given her a gentle
stripe or two. lie said he was not married to Mrs. Bee-
ham by the laws of God, but only by the paltry laws of his
country. He said he should put her away, and never live
with her any more. That was all said in the course of his
sermon. I have read " The Pastor's Vindication." On
the following Sunday plaintiff said he should break up his
1 church, and form it anew on the following Sunday. As
1 so many of the members were leaving, he wished to know
who were his real followers. The following Sunday he
did break up the congregation, and formed a new one. I
did not: join the new one, nor did I attend the chapel.
Cross-examined—Mr. Jolley, the last witness, married
my sinter; plaintiff' may have said something of his wife's
violence, but I can't recollect.
Mary Beesum—l am the wife of a gardener, and went
to reside at Rickmansworth in 1836. 1 became a member
of plaintiff's Baptist congregation. I went to live with
Mrs. Slade, the aunt of Miss Dover. Plaintiff and his
wife appeared to live very comfortably together. I lived
for some time with plaintiff and his wife. I was living
with Mrs. Fitch when Miss Dover went to live at plain.
tiff's. I called on one occasion at plaintiff's on my way to
chapel, and found Mrs. Benham crying. I had a conver-
sation with plaintiff in the course of the same defy, and
begged of him above all things to behave well to his wife.
He said something of his wife being deranged; he men-
tioned something of liypochondriasis. I dined with them
that day, and Miss Dover took the head of the
table. Mrs. Benham was treated by her husband
as a mere cipher. I saw no symptoms whatever
of insanity in Mrs. Benham. In consequence of
whet I saw on that occasion, 1 wrote a letter to Miss -D.
I /timecards went to live again with plaintiff and his wife.
They slept in a double-bedded room. I slept with Fanny
