LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Feb. 8.
(Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Westminster, before Mr.
Justice ERLE, and Common Juries.)
3IINISTER v. CHAPPELL.

This was an action brought to recover compensa-
tion in damages for a libel published by the de-
fendant, of, and concerning the plaintiff, under rather
peculiar circumstances, connected with the novel
combination of tailoring and authorship.
Mr. liumfrey, Q.c., appeared for the plaintiff;
the defendant's case was conducted by Mr. Sergeant
Shee.

Plaintiff and defendant have achieved a reputation
for themselves as " fashionable tailors," and carry on
their business at that fashionable emporium of Lon-
don, known as the West end. The old adage, "Two
of a trade can never agree," was verified in the pro•
ceedings ; the plaintiff and defendant became rivals,
not, perhaps, so much in their own peculiar business,
as in the more ambitious calling of editors of
rival publications, which they started for the pur-
pose of giving more eclat to their respective houses.
This was carrying on tailoring on classic ground—an
elevated principle, but was an excellent idea, and
original. Defendant was the first to place his name
on the literary rota, and gave to his publication the
title of the Lion; and from lii4s, when he started it,
down to 1846, when the plaintiff entered the lists, he
revelled in his work undisturbed, and wrote up his
business in its various branches, cut and workmanship.
In July, 1846, the plaintiff, who ambitioned to be a
tailor-author, gave to his publication the high sound-
ing and somewhat well-fitted title of the Gazette of
Fashion. The defendant, who certainly deserves the
credit of being the originator of this -mode of assisting
to push business, and of giving the public a better idea
of its principles, in order to make his work more at-
tractive, entered into an arrangement with M. Lefuette,
for continuous supplies of illustrative plates, and de-
fendant, when he brought out his work, borrowing
the hint, also gave an order to M. Lefuette to
execute for him a series of Parisian designs. This
gave to his publication a similarity to the plaintiff's,
and was considered, by the latter, to deteriorate the
value of the original Liox,. Defendant, however,
went farther, and as if not satisfied with the title first
given by him to his work, of the Gazette of Fashion,
added to it, the words et Le Lion, a clear infringement
of title, which the plaintiff considered himself called
upon to resist. Among other characters in which
the plaintiff held himself out to the world, was that
of " habit-maker to the Queen;" and the defendant
considering this an assumption, cast discredit upon it
in one of the numbers of his Gazette of Fashion et
Le Lion, and described the plaintiff as guilty of a
liberty in stating and describing himself as habit-
maker to his (the defendant's) Sovereign. This
insinuation was contained in a letter purporting to be
from a "Correspondent." and was followed by a
series of publications, in which there were many smart
things said and written, and which finally resulted in
the present action.
The jury considered that the plaintiff WAS justified
in his proceeding, and gave a verdict in his favour—
Damages, 40s.
