Baron.
DICAS V. LAWSON.

Mr. LEE applied for a rule to show cause why a nevi
5/rt!'d
should not be granted. The Learned Counsel, in supr.oo,
his motion, said, this was an action brought by the 131.,,
the
against the defendant, for two libels which appearca
Times newspaper of the 20th and 31st of March, last 110
and which was tried before Mr. Baron Alderson at the of
sittings after Term, when the Jury found the verdict for
defendant.

The COURT refused the rule. ifsP
Mr. LEE then proceeded to the second article, which sipil
report and comment on the action brought by Dicas g,„fte
Harmer, and which his client considered had a tend
injure his character.

The COURT observed, that in that case the plaintiff )1700,
tamed a verdict of fifty pounds against Mr. Harmer, and ch
appeared in the Times was merely a reprint of the A Eliee
tbo
Counsel. As the article contained both the bane an re
antidote, and the Jury being of opinion that the antidot.etif,
moved the bane, the Court would, out of mercy to the pill°
not grant a new trial.

BAD NEWS FOR INFORMERS.-It is redo
that the new Act relating to Weights and Measures (t thlg
of William IV., chap. 49), which comes into operati°,4or,
day, will prove to be a solecism. It is one of the most wa
ling pieces of legislation, and has evidently been pat ed,,

trates. The first thirteen clauses relate solely to the 147eoir
ment and duties, &c., of the inspectors. The fotewolte'
clause enacts that " any person or persons who shall
