JURY IN WESTMINSTER HALL.

DELANEY, ESQ. 4J. JONES.

Tuts was an Aaion for a Libel, and is very im-
portant to The Pubic, on, vafious accounts, as ap.
peared from several parts of it,. as they' apply to
the condthf.t of individuals-towards each other; the
right they, have to make inquiries, .&c. and parti-
cularly on account at the opinion delivered by
,my,
Lord Chief Justice.
Mr. ERSKINE opened the Case on the part of the
Plaintiff. The Defendant was a stationer, living in
• Duke-street, St. James's-square. Mr. Delaney was
a Gentleman of Fortune, -a Man of Honour and
of Station,. being the Son of a Gentleman of large
Property in the West Indies, and also an 'Officer in
the North Lincoln Militia, and as such, jealous of
his charader; and bound to repel' any attack that
was made upon it, or the Honourable Persons with
whom he was conneaed, would decline his future
acquaintance. He, therefore, -complained of a Li-
bel, which the Defendant Mr. Jones had published,
refleffing upon that diameter. This Gentleman
was married to his present -wife, on the loth of
August, 1799, froth whom he had-been' some tithe
separated, in consequence of a difference which sub-
sisted between them : they separated 'upon terns
that- were perfeqly- honourable to Mr. Delaney,
for he gave up to this Lady the whole of her For.,
tune, -reserving to himself no advantage whatever.
He - went to the West -Indies to settle his affairs
- there with his father, who was a Planter: He came
'home, and it was then the separation took place.-
-Some time after this, application, by means of Mrs.
Delaney, was made to the Defendant, Mr.' Jones,
.who had a partner of the name of Yarrel, to publish
''an Advertisement, which was now complained of,
-purporting robe an InqUiry,,on the part of the wife,
concerning her husband. He did not -complain of
.this as an 'lnquiry on the part of the wife, merely
as suchshe had a right to make an Inquiry. She
had even a right to counsel with others on affairs
that were interesting to her and her husband—but
'neither her, nor her Agent, had any right to
slander the Plaintiff, wider pretence of making an
Inquiry. This Lady represented that her husband
was married before, to a person who was living at
the time of his second marriage with her-,-for which
representation there was not the least colour or
foundation. She, however, for what reason was
best known to hetself, did make that regresenta-
Lion, and expressed a desire to establish that fat,
and to prosecute her husband for a Felony—which
Bigamy is now declared by Law to be. In conse.
quence of which, the Defendant took upon himself)
without any knowledge of the faEt, and with per_
felt knowledge of the tendency of the Advertise.'
ment—although ignorance of it would' be no ex-
cuse, to publish this Libel in The Morning Post,
with a.view of procuring Evidence of Mr. Dela-
ney's former marriage. The Advertisement was
