Ported in the Galway and Duqin newspapers of the
. day. The dinner took place on the lich of March, St.
Patrick's Day, and being altogether of a festive nature, and
quite unconnected with politics, Mr. Daly was induced to
preside on the occasion. On the toast of the Press
being given, a Mr. Blake, the printer and publisher of a
Leal newspaper, rose to return thanks, an in the course
'of his speech he did make use of some such language as
that referred to in this allt-ged libel, but Mr. Daly and
others repressed him for so doing there, and then he
was told that if he did not desist the company would
have no help for it but to turn him out; where-
Upon Mr. Blake resumed his seat, and nothing
more was heard of the matter, nor was it
alluded to in the reports of the dinner that
afterwards appeared in the newspapers. Several per-
-s°llB who were present at the dinner, including a Mr.
o,Flaherty, joined the reverend gentleman in swearing
him;
he never spoke any such words as those imputed to
aim; and as the libel could not be the result of au error
or mistake in the reports of the dinner, there could be
no question that the intention of the writer in Punch was
to wantonly, grossly, and maliciously attack the dia-
. otter of the reverend gentleman; and he had therefore
'louse to this Court. at the earliest passible opportunity,
to seek that protection which the Court was in the habit
of s.ffording to persons attacked under similar circum-
stances.
ler.r. Justice WIGHTMAN—Take a rule.
Mr. BADDELEY—WiII your Lordship be good enough
to make it returnable this term?
Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN—There is no point of law in-
volved in the case, end the rule may be made returnable
°O Monday, to be argued on Tuesday. If, however, th.
Parties are not ready then the rule mast, of course be
• discharged.
Rale nisi accordingly.
