EXCHEQUER CHAMBER.-(THIS DAY•)

(Sittings at Nisi Prias, before the Mr. Baron BOLLAND, and $

Common Jury.)
DICAS V. ONWHYN.
This case, which is one of the eighty-four brought by B,in
attorney against newsmen, for selling a paper, which contain"'
an alleged libel, stood in the trial paper for to-day.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, on the part of the defendant",
applied to the Court that it might be put off till the sittings
after term, on the ground that the case was of very great public
importance, and as it stood so low in the paper, there was
chance of its receiving that attention which it demanded.
The COURT granted the application, and it was ordered to
stand first for trial after term.

ROUSE V. MEREDITH.
This was an action for false imprisonment. Mr. Bc
appeared for the plaintiff; and proved that he had been giC7i
into the custody of a policeman on a Tuesday morning upon
a charge of stealing a pair of boots on the Monday evenine'
When before the inspector, who for a time refused to take °I
charge, he (the defendant) persisted in it, and insisted upon
the inspector doing his duty. The plaintiff was according 1:
locked up all night in the cell, and next morning taken throug.,
the public streets in the custody of a policeman, who I"'
dressed in his uniform. He was then taken before the AO.
gistrate, who, upon hearing the case, at once dismi.ed lb°
plaintiff, saying that it ought never to have been brought before
him at all, the fact being, that the plaintiff had dealt with de"
fendant for boots and shoes for two years, and that he had ac..
tually paid for the boots in question.
There was no defence; and the Jury, after a short consul'
tation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 101.
