KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)

CLANDER.-COWELL v. BRITTEN.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a butcher
in Sloane-street, to recover compensation for slanderous
expressions uttered to his prejudice by the defendant, who
w is also a butcher in the same neighbourhood, and it was
alleged, that in consequence of the slander the plaintiff
was refused credit by several persons with whom he had
been in the habit of dealing.
It appeared from the evidence of several witnesses that
some time in the second or third week of October the de-
fendant was in the parlour of the Cock public-house,
nett. Sloane street in conversation with Mr. Stobie, a
baker, (only one other person being the room, and he
sitting at another table ;) that during that conversation
the subject of cheap meat was broached, and defendant
said, " Well may some people sell cheap meat when they
are able to pay their debts by half a crown in the pound."
Mr. Stobie asked if be alluded to Mr. Randall, a
butcher in the neighbourhood, who, he believed to
be a monied man. The defendant said "No ;" and,
upon being asked to whom he alluded, he said, " I
hear that Cowell has been offering his creditors half a
erown in the pound." Mr. Stobie expressed his regret
at such a circumstance, and said he had believed Mr.
Cowell to be well off, as he had two large shops. About
the latter end of the same month, the rumour was spread
in Smithfield market of the plaintiff's insolvency, and, in
con•equence, the usual credit which he had received from
two graziers was refused him. The plaintiff's attorney
called upon the defendant, assuring him of the falsehood
of the report, and requesting him to contradict it ; the de-
fendant refused to contradict it, affirming that he believed
it to be true.

The Jury found for the plaintiff—damages, 40s.
