they appeared to be supportable. ne,believed` that
none who bad any knowledge, .cf the Gentlemen of
thti B tr, doubted their integrity in this respea
Upon, thiS principle it was that Mr. Stratton had his
best exertions then against Mr. Angersteios' and it
was upon the same principle that Mr. Harrison was
about to have the best ref his exertions now, agabist
Mr. Stratton. He thought the Verdia, of that jury
right, upon the evidence that.was before them, and
that arose 'froin.the workmen who were called on
the part of the Defendant, not being. sufficient mas-
ters of the topics on which they spoke, two of
whom Made a wretched figure, the consequence of
which was, that Mr. Stratton recovered a ierditt
against Mr. Angerstein for his whole bill : bat the
question tow for the Jury to consider was this—
Did Mr. Harrison, in the part he took on the, sub.
jea of Mr. Stratton's cliarge for that apparatus, con.-
dua himself fairly; according' to the result of his
own judgment, as the Surveyor of Mr. Angerstein;
or did he aa frOm pique to Mr. Stratton, the De.
fendant in this cause ? Mr. Stratton had accused
the conduct of Mr. Harrison, and for so doing,
Mr. Stratton was called upon'to answer this day be.
fore the fury.
The beclaration stated shortly the' words that
were made use of by the Defendant against the
Plaintiff, by which it was imputed to Mr: Harri-
son, " that he is a Scoundrel."—Mr„ Stratton hav-
ing said of Mr, Harrison—" If I should haVe fixed
him an oven for nothing, or otherwise have given
him 30 per Cent. he would have passed my account
unnoticed." This was what Mr. Stratton, a trades:
man who worked for Mr. Angerstein, had thought
fit to say of Mr. Harrison,- for only doing his duty
as Surveyor to Mr. Angerstein ; and in that cha.
rafter, judging of the charges of Mr. Stratton—
Now he would take the liberty of pausing here for
a moment, and then to ask the Jury, whether they
thought it possible for one man to utter slander
more destructive of the charatter of another, than
this ? Here was a person bound, by a sacred duty
he owed, to his employer, to attend to his interest,
and who aped according to his judgment for that
interest. If Mr. Angerstein was, in any respea,
over-charged by Stratton,' it was,the bounden duty
of Mr. Harrison to snake his stand against it.—He*
did so, and in doing so, he acted according to the
best of his judgment. Mr. Harrison had said to
Mr. Stratton, " Your charge is 901. I do'not think
it worth more than bol. •I am employed by Mr.
Angerstein to take care of his interest, and I must
see that he is nut imposed upon." This was what
Mr. Harrison said, and on this he acted when he ad.
vised the charge•of Mr. Stratton to be resisted, and
ycr, in so 'doing, be was charged, by Mr. Stratton,
with hiving, at the same time said to him, " If
you will put up an oven for me, which will be of
the value of 301. or •allow me 20 per Cent, I Will
pass your bill." He wished-to know whether any
slander could be worse than this ? Could any thing
more compleatly describe a knave ? This was what
Mr. Stratton had chosen to state of Mr. Harrison,
and it was a very serious charge to be made against
any body, it was still much more serious, to be
made against a Surveyor, than.any other person, for,
'it struck at the very root of his character as a pro.
fessional man, and was calculated to drive him out
of Society; he was, therefore, compelled to vindicate
himself in this public manner by ACtion.• The
truth, of the matter was this : there was not the
least foundation fur this assertion of'iMr. Stratton,
on the contrary, he should prove that Mr. Stratton
made to Mr. Harrison a proposition which was re,.
jetted with indignation, and that made the case
more malicious on the part of the Defendant against
liat Plaintiff in this Cause. For these reasons he
expetted the Jury would mark this case with very
,serious damages., • •

Mr. GARROW opened the Case on. the part of the
It was an ACtion for Slander uttered by
the Defendant, of and,concerniog the plaintitf, toot
was matter, he said, of great important to the
Parties, and in a great measure to the Public, who
had an interest in proteeting the character of an
individual who wasperfeftly respedable in his con.
did. • He wag very ready to admit that there was
no species of Adion which differed more in its
shades, from its 'circumstances, than an AE}ion of
this nature. Some of them had proved to be oldie
nrott, trifling and insignificant kind, such as grew
taut of Alehouse quarrels or the like, and they did
not deserve the grave attention of a Court or jos.
tice. There were others which were of' the most
'serious complexion, such as tended to destroy a
mates reputation, root and branch, a odto drive' him
out of society, and that Walt the nature of the Case
now before the Jury ; for the ..Plaintiff could not
bold up his head in society without asking a July
of his Country their opinion of his Case. The
Plaintiff was a Surveyor, and had for many years
exercised his profession with unimpeaehed integrity.
The Defendant publishes to the world that he is the
Nelanufailtirer of patent kitchen ranges, ovens, and
the like; and it, was PildttrikUlOti that great pro Ats ;ire
the result of his trade. In consequence of .souse of
these advertisements, 'some of the servants of Mr.
Angerstein were direEred to treat with Mr. Stratton
for crating in Mr. Angerstein's housio•a steam ap-
paratus with a warm closet and the, other requisites
for cumpleatins it. Mr. Angcrstein was well
known to be a person of great opulence and equal
liberality ; he gives, as a man like him may give,
splendid, entertainments to great tompatiiet, 'and
therefore this 'apparatus was direded to be made of
peculiarly large dimensions. It was said that Mr.
Angeistein's company often amounted to fifty or
sixty persons including the family, &c. and Mr.
Stratton, said that the expence of ere ling this appa.
ratus would be about a guinea per head to the num.
ter io,cooked the dinner for,- stithat if it was to he
large enough 'to dress a dinner fur fifty persons, it
Would'cost fifty guineas. This apparatus was pre-
pared and finished by Mr. Stratton, and his Bill
ientin; He would' not 'trouble the Jury, hr said,
with the particulars of• that;Bill. Mri. Harrison
Was employed', by Mr. Angerstein as his Surveyor,
aria-consulted as ro the propriety of Mr. Stratum's
charges for ereding this apparutus, which happened
to be a great deal more than the estimate of it,
being cool, gs. Those who were told, it was not
to exceed 601. considered. this toot large sum. He
did-not now inqoire .whether Mr. Stratton was en.
titled to this sum or not, but Mr. Harrison was
consulted upon it, and he did as was his duty to do
Surveyor for Mr. Angerstein, he went about to
iroltiireinto the fairness 'of the charge, for which
purpose he examined stow much tin and iron, and
other materials had been laid out on it ; bow much
titneund labour of men had been employed upon it;
and the result was, that Mr. Harrion was satisfied,
in his own judgment, that the charge, orMr.Steitt.
ton were considerably too large, and be represented
that to iris employer, Mr. Angerstein, who autho.
eized him to make a tender of 601. to. Mr. Stratton,.
whicirhe did accordingly : this was not satisfadory
tbs Mr. Stratton, And therefore he brought his action
against Mr. Angerstein, which was tried before
my Lord Chief Justice, sod .a Jury of sMer.
chants, 'at Guildhall,. when Mr: Stratton 'recovered
the whole amount of his bill.

The Cause then proceeded at some Jength in the
evidence, but as none of the Witnesses could prove
the words uttertd by the Defendant precisely as
they were laid in the Declaration, the Plaintiff was

THIS was.an anion for board, lodging, and ne-
cessaries, furnished by the Plaintiff to the De.
fendanr's Wife.

.
Mr. DIWNCEY opened the case. by stating, that
the Plaintiff was a Captain, and the. Defendant an
Insurance Broker. In order to make the case un.
dersrood,. it would, he said, he necessary to ex.
plain the business from Jhe 4ofprpepcempt of the
connexion. of the parties... There, was living under
the proteCtion,of, the .Plaintiff, a Nis cce, to whom
thePefendant had for a considerable _time paid his
addresses, but that the Captain being called aliroad,
and his, Wife going down to the pit to see him em.
bark, the Defendant had taken advantage, daring
their absence, of-the affFdion of the yonng Lady,
Upon the Captain's returning,, and discovering what
had .pasied, he insisted that „the Defendant should
make . her reparation, by fulfilling the promise of
madiage, whieh.he .had so repeatedly given. On
his refusing to do this, an anion was commenced
against him, which .he stopped, Iv consenting to
marry the Lady, and the marriage accordingly took
place. He understood, indeed, now, that the de.
fence was to be a denial of the marriage, which he
had been informed was to be made upon the ground
of its invalidity, 'because the licence for it was not
taken out by the Defendant himself, but by a. rela-
tion of his own.of the name of Mesnard,:,whotook
out the licence,, representing himself as White:
Mr,PLosis it said he had no.evidencei and there.
fore should. not, dispute the marriage.
Mr. DAiviro ryY eaid, that certainly was prudent,
as he had thetclergyman, and all the persons present,
ready to prove it, Shortly after the zarriage,,and
the birth of a child (the wife still continuing at the.
house of her uncle, because it was not then conve.
nient for the .husband to take her, home), she was
deserted by her husband in the midst of a'long sick.
nevi, occasioned by, himself, in a way which proved
he had other connexions. After. some: time bad
elapsed, upon the uncle presenting an account for
board, &c. he said he was willing to take her
borne ; upon which the uncle consented,
.on condi.

gtr.'GAuttow:said, that he was, perhaps, the
last 'version who ought, to inquire into the propriety
of that verdia, for he was, on that occasion, Coup.

Lordship nor the Jury would think that he was do.
ing'any thing i►npropper irr•the Tart he was taking

they were bound to follow them ; they could not re.
