BROOKES V BLANCHARD.

This was an action for libel, tried before Mr. Baron
GURNEY at the lost Durham assizes, when a verdict was
found for the plaint,ff—datnages Is.
Early in the term, Mr. CRE.SWELL obtained a rule to
show cause why there should not be a new trial, on the
ground of an objection taken at the trial.
The plaintiff was applying for a situation as en-
gineer to a public company, and the libel was con-
tained in a letter which was written by the defendant to
a friend. He stated in it that the plaintiff was unfit for
the situation, as he, when engaged with the Clarence
Railway Company, bad caused them to spend upwards
of 1,0001. by his ignorance and mistnanagernerit.
The friend to whom the letter was written com-
municated it, and the plaintiff lost the situation
in consequence. At the trial the witness said
the words used in the letter were " ignorance and inatten-
tion," in place of mismanagement, as stated in the de-
claration.

Mr. Baron BAYLEY suggested to both parties that they
had better leave the matter where it was, than pursue it
further.

The Counsel said they would consult with their clients,
and mention the matter on a future day.
