COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Jan. 15.
(Sittings in Banco.)
GRAPES V. BUBBLY.
This was an action of libel, against the registered
proprietor of the John Bull newspaper, for the publi-
cation of a libel reflecting on the character of the
plaintiff, formerly a Post-office letter-carrier. At the
second trial, before the Lord Chief Baron, during the
sittings in London after last term, there was a verdict
for the defendant on the plea of justification.
Mr. KEATING to-day moved for a rule to set aside
the verdict and have a new trial, on the ground of
misdirection. The libel charged the plaintiff with
having tampered with certain witnesses, by whose
evidence the guilt of Thacker, another Post-office
letter. carrier, was proved; and the Lord Chief
Baron directed the jury to consider whether the alle-
ption in the libel was made by way merely of stating
what had come out in the inquiry at the Post-office,
or whether it stated it with en implied conviction of
its being established by the evidence. Considering
the nature of the charge made in the libel, the
Learned Counsel contended that the defendant should
have called the witnesses with whom the plaintiff was
alleged to have tampered, in order to show that they
were witnesses by whose evidence Thacker's guilt
was proved.

The COURT thought that there should be a rule, but
recommended the defendant to consent to a stet plo-
ceus rather than go to a new trial, which suggestion
the counsel on both side?, agreed to consider.
