COURT OF EXCHEQUER-(THIS DAY.)

PICAS V. LAWSON.

. This was an action brought by a solicitor to recover com-
pensation in damages for three alleged libels, which appeared
[n the Times of the 7th, 9th, and 11 th of December, 1833.

It was tried in London in the sittings after last Term, before Mr.
Baron Parke, when the jury found a verdict for the defendant
upon all the counts.
Mr. LEE this morning moved, on behalf of the plaintiff, for
a rule Nisi for a new trial, on the ground of the verdict being
against evidence and the summing up of the Learned Judge.
Ile said that shortly before the first of the articles complained
of appeared, his client had thought it his duty to bring an
action against the late Lord Chancellor; the Times had been
very free in their remarks upon that occasion, and the first
libel charged purported to be a letter from a clerk in the
Secretary of Bankrupts Office ; at the same time they
charged him with persecution in having brought eighty-four
actions against newsvenders. On seeing so erroneous a state-
ment, Mr. D. wrote to the editor, telling him that he had
never brought more than six actions of that kind, and asking
him to set the matter right. On the following day, in place
of giving insertion to the letter, they put a paragraph amongst
the notices to correspondents, which was the second libel. In
that they said they had paid the penalty of their transgression
by having been obliged to read through a letter from Mr. Dicas,
who was a man evidently unacquainted with his mother tongue,
having spelled the word " fallacious" with only a single 1.
They only made such extracts from the letter as suited their
ow

.n purpose.
Mr. Baron PARKE said he had very considerable difficulty in
finding out what was complained of as the first libel, and he
had distinctly left it to the Jury to say whether the extracts
from the letter had not been fairly made, or whether there had
been any malice shewn, and they found for the defendant on
both grounds.
Mr. LEE said he could not doubt for a moment, and he pressed
that upon the attention of the Com t, that the tendency of the
whole paragraph was to bring the plaintiff into disgrace by calling
him an ignorant man ; that said of an attorney was clearly actiona-
ble, as laid down in many cases. It was clear also that the de-
fendants were perfectly aware of their error, for they had not
dared to plead a justification to any one of the libels.
Mr. Baron PARKE said he was perfectly satisfied with the
verdict upon all the counts, except the last one ; the charge
contained in the letter signed a " Lawyer," and upon that
count there ought to have been a verdict for nominal damages,
and in such a case, he would have certified, and have deprived
him of his costs.

Lord Ann.:GEß—Your own statement is, that the jury found
against the summing up of the Learnd Judge, and therefore it
is a perfectly fair inference to draw, that had damages been
given, they would have been merely nominal. Is it worth
your while to press for a new trial, for you must pay the costs ?
Mr. Las said his client would most willingly consent to
that.

Lord AIIINGER-Will the other side consent to a stet pro-
cessus ?

Mr. LEE said that was scarcely a case for such a course to
be taken : there could not be the least doubt but that the last
article complained of was libellous.
Lord ABINGER—I do not see that it would be doing the
plaintiff a service; if the' case goes before another jury, can
there be much doubt of the result being merely nominal da-
mages ?
Mr. LEE said his client was most anxious to have an oppor-
tunity of setting himself right before another jury.

Lord ABINGER—You mac take your rule with regard to
the last article ; but if the other side will come into anything
like a fair compromise, the Court may alter this arrangement.
It will not feel disposed to make the rule absolute, merely that
costs should be put in the pocket of a professional man.
