COURT OF SESSION'.
MACLEOD 'V. DUFF.
s was an .Adiori brotight before the Court of
in -Scotland, at the instance of Dr. James
Machicd, at Bali-note; near Inverness, against Hugh
Robert Duff, Esq. of Muirtown, and the circum-
stances of the case were shortly these : In the year
17:99, Dr. Macleod brought an Action of Defa-
mation and DaMages. against Mr. Duff; setting
forth, -that. he had been calumniated, and in-
jured in his good-name and reputation by Mr.
Duff. ThiS process was afterwards referred to Mr.
Solicitor-General BLAIR, and the Hon. HENRY
ERSKINE, the mutual CounSel for the parties, who
after• a great deal of procedure; and allowing a'
proof, pronounced a Decreet• Arbitral, dated the
Ist of IVlarch, 'Soo, whereby they " find it proved,
that during the time libelled, (i. e. in the month of
January, 1799,) the said 'Hugh Robert Duff did,
upon sundry occasions, make allegations highly in-
jurious to the charader of the said Dr. James Mac-
' leod—Find that no circumstance has been proved
to justify these allegations, and therefore we find
the=said Hugh Robert Duff liable .in damages -thud
expences, whicl damages and expencest we hereby
modify to the ,sum of 2591. sterling."
The present Aaion was founded upon the Pro-
ceedings in the former Sub Mission, and the Libel
stated, that in December rSoo, during the proof
allowed by the Arbiters, Mr. Duff had insulted and
abused the Pursner, ,while the proof was taking,
and had also" struck him in 'the street of Inverness,
on one of the days of that proof. After a good
deal of procedure before the Court of Session in
. this _second. action, and the proof of the fans there
stated, the Court upon• the isth day of February
last; pronounced the 'following Interlocutor—
" Find the contluta of the Defender Hugh Robert
Duff towards the PursueT,' ,was unprovoked, un-
warrantable, and-unjustifiable, and therefore find
ele.saidliagh Robert Duff liable in the damages to
the Pursuer, modify the same to three hundred
pounds 'sterling, and decern; find him also liable in
expences, and allow an.aecount thereof to be given
Into the Court." And their Lordships upon the
ilth day of Mara laSt modified the said expences. to
2001. sterling, besides the expence of extrad.—.
