Mr. Sergeant 'DIANEW!! addressed the jury for the defendtnatt
The case was one which might have been just as well disr.s.ro
,
before the Magistrates at the Sessions, or at the Kingston ',jaat
but it was evidently the object of the plaintiff to put the defendeielLiot
to considerable cost ; and when it was recollected that the
e
was smarting under the abusive language applied to his s`."-01 his
jury, he trusted, would make allowances for the excitement
feelings, and visit him with the lightest punishment possible.
There were no witnesses called for the defendant. clearly
Lord DENSIAN told the Jury that the assault had been. wags

the case. It was an action for libel, brought by a foreigners= $
in humble circumstances, against the proprietor and publishdoo
periodical which circulated very extensively throughout the king bey,
The plaintiff was French cook to Earl Grey, and in Delete
1833, an article appeared in the periodical called Frc:ser's
zinc (which was printed and published by the defendant), eP icas
" Household Servants," in which it was observed that there 00
not an honest household servant in all England, and a states, c,
was made relative to the conduct of a French cook in the 01 °to
ment of a great political Earl, which imputed gross dishonestifor
him, and charged him with the commission of an offeneLf
which, if proved against him, he would be liable to transr, it;,s
tion for fourteen years. The Learned Counsel here rea,“
the
article, which stated that the individual alluded to was IPt'tl
habit of overcharging his master in the price and clua",pell
of the charcoal used by him : that this was done in the fne=tii re'
manner, and that the charcoal man would prove the fact, 0014
quired. The article concluded by observing that " the feref
anecdote was founded on fact, and could be established bevel'
, at V
troversy, should it meet the eye cf the illustrious individual „vs.
head of his affairs." This article went the round of all the "-pea
papers, and a friend waited upon Mr. Fraser, who acknowle',,,
the publication to be his, and he was then requested to cveter
tradict the article which had seriously injured the ehartawil
of the plaintiff. Mr. Fraser was informed that the
had been addressed to the newspapers into whichalOt
article had locn copied, contradicting the charge brought:en-dot
the plaintiff, which ilfer had promised to insert, and the det
was requested to publisti a ;.*:9lilar contradiction, but his reply this
" No; we never do those things in Magazines." It was iPerdosf
injury to his character, which the defervlant had refused to rho' t°
that the present action was brought, and he left it to the "-del $
say what damages they would award for so gross and unfoun
libel. he
A witness was called who proved having waited on the deferthe
at plaintiff's request, and that defendant had acknowiedg,!' .tion'
publication, and had refused to publish any apology or contraol ojc
The article, which was extremely long, was then read. lt
