the 13th Nov. Your Lordship will partake in stay
feelings of sincere sorrow for the loss of an esteem.
ed friend and a-brave (::ricer; and his Country will
mourn the death of an hero to whom she is indebted
for the most signal service. His plan of attacking
the Enemy in the glorious battle. of Deeg evinces
the highest military genius, his mode of carrying
this into eir,:a displays the greatest judgment and
sagacity, and his cooduet at the head of his Army
prOves the most deliberate courage
,and determined
resolution.

Advancing in front of his Troops, hii example
animated them in the arduous enterprize., He tali-
tinned to encouragc.,them long• after hehad
and his voice impelled them, till a, coroplote and
glorious vi dory 'crowned and rewarded his exer..

IIV REPORT.

COURT OF KlNG's BENCH, Ffttpnv, th'i 3.

THE KINC,,V. RICHARD MANSEL PHILLIPS, 8,(2,

IN our Paper, some months siliCr, we stated the
grounds of the Motion for the Arrest of. Judgment
in this ctise. During two Terms this gentleman,
by his duty in a Fencible Corps on the Coast, has
lien prevented appearing before the Court ; he was
now brought up to attend the argument, as direled
by the Chief Justice.
Messrs. EItKINE, GARROW, and ABBOT, read
the Letter from the Defendant, on which the Prose.
ruti r, w o; founded, which was candied in the fol.
1 .wing terms :
It will, I conclude, be sufficient fur me to tell you, that
in the whole ut the Cuermarthenshire business, as far as re.
lams to me, you have behaved like a blackguard. I shall
expea , to hear from you, and shall attend to any appoint-
went you shall make.
(Signed)
," Ta Rifer Goring Memos, Esq."
The Learned Counsel contended, that. in this
case the letter constituted the overt art, and the
Jury,by their verdia, bad put the construaion upon
it applied in the fourth count, that it was with the
intent to stir up, and provoke to fight a duel with
anti against the Prosecutor. They resisted the con-
struttion on the ease, of Lewis and Jeffries, in Pop.
ham (see our former statement), which, Mr. ERs.
Satter said, had no resemblance to this case of a duel,
unless his Learned Friend's ingenuity could discover
it in the name of the Reporter.
Mr. CLIFFORD stated, precisely the same argu-
ment which we have given on the first application
in'arrest of Judgment. ,
• Lord ELLENBOSOUGH...—.4I Before we give judg.
meat, we wish to see the introduCtory words in the
case of the King and Langley."--- (ad Lord Ray-
mond, 1029.)
LEVI v., DOD InCEN.
The Plaintiff is the son of a coach-master in
Southampton.; the Defendant was an Meer in the
Queen's Bays, but is at present not in the service.
Mr. RaKoas, ors. the part of the Defendant,
moved for a new trial in this cause. It was heatd
fore, Mr. •Justice. ClVAtalla, at Southampton, and
was an aaion for an assault, in which the verdkt as.
signed damages to the extent of fool. The Learn.
cd Counsel grounded the present application on the
damages, which he said were excessive. Some of
the military friends of the Defendant were at dinner
at the house of the father of the Plaintiff. At table
the conversation turned on their brother.ufficer, who
was absent, when the. Plaintiff applied to him this
derogatory language :—" He is a great blackguard ;
he keeps the lowest company, and his best friend is
a Baker at Stone."
The Defendant was made acquainted with it when
on duty in Ireland ; five years had elapsed, when he
met the Plail'itiff on the race-ground, at Southamp-
ton, when the former availed hitnself of a horsewhip,
which was in his grasp, and applied it some twenty
or thirty times on the Defendant, in the most harm.

Lord ELLENBOROUGII.—.." I do not think the
damages are excessive, tar that the Jury were repte.
hensible in giving them."—NeW trial refused.
