QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)

THE DUKE OF BRUNSWICK v. HARMER.

The trial of this action, for an alleged libel, and
which has occupied the Court the greater part of the
day, has just concluded as we are going to press.
The subject-matter of the alleged libel was a leading
article written in this journal, on the 28th of June,
1849, commenting upon the trial of an action in this
Court for an alleged libel, which appearel in the
Weekly Dispatch.
Lord CAMPBELL concluded his charge as follows:
Gentlemen, you will take the paper into your hands,
and you will say what is the fair meaning of the sen-
tences charged as libels. I must again say that you can
form an opinion quite as well as I can on this
subject, but I certainly never should have dreamt
of their intending any such imputation as has been
hinted at by the plaintiff. With respect to the language
used, it certainly is severe; and it is for you to say
whether it can be considered as a fair and honest com-
mentary upon the trial. If you come to the conclusion
that it is not, then it will be for you to find a verdict for
the plaintiff, with such damages as you may think
proper to 'give. But I must say, in justice to the de-
fendant, that the imputation which the plaintiff himself
deliberately cast on the defendant of being guilty of
extortion, and of dealing in hush money, ought to go,
in my mind, to diminish the amount of damages.

These observations were pronounced with marked
emphasis by his Lordship.
The jury turned round in their box, and almost im-
mediately returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages,
ONE ►SHILLING .

The verdict was received by the persons in the cour
with clapping of hands.

SECONDARIES'.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.)
DAILEY V. ROBSON.
The plaintiff in this action is a ship broker in the
City, and defendant is a shipbroker at Cardiff; the
action was brought to recover the sum of 21/. 12e. 3d.
premium and commission on an insurance effected by
plaintiff at the request of defendant.

The facts were very simple, defendant not denying
the fairness of the charge; but ho had claimed twelve
months' credit, which had been allowed., and bankrupt
had since paid some sums on account, reducing the
balance to 161. 83., for which sum a verdict was given.

BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.)
(II fore Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE
THE ALBERT SALOON.—IN RE BRADING.
This bankrupt was the late proprietor of the Albert
Saloon, Shepherd and Sheperdess•fields, and to-day was
appointed for his last examination, which had been ad-
journed.
The bankrupt now passed his examination.

NATIONAL LAND SCHEME.
COURT OF EXCHEQUER, JUNE 20.
O'CONNOR, MP., V. BRADSHAW.

Mr. RoEBUCS, at the sitting of the Court, applied to
their Lordships to rescind the decision to which they
had come lately on the application of Mr. Sergeant Wil-
kins to defer the arguments in this case till the next
term. The defendant had been prepared to argue the
case in the recent term, but it had been deferred to the
present sittings expressly to accommodate the Learned
Sergeant, who now had procured a further delay of six,
months on the same ground. This was felt to bo a hard-
ship and an act of injustice by his client, and ha might
say that it was calculated to prejudice many poor people
whose interests were deeply connected with this cause
and the company. He was ready to make any personal
sacrifice in order that this case might be disposed of at
once, and he hoped that the Court would reconsider its
determination in this matter.

Mr. Baron PARKE—The attendance of the Chief
Baron will be desirable. His Lordship will attend here
in Mr. Gorham'a case, which is fixed for the 29th. If
bis Lordship will consent to attend for this also, I see no
reason why it should not be taken.

Mr. ROEBUCK baying, in the meantime, obtained the
assent of the Chi( f Baron, afterwards expressed his wish
that this ease might be fixed to come on after that case
to which rderence had been made.

Mr. Baron ALDERSON—Very well, let it be so. We
will take O'Connor v. Bradshaw after the Bishop of
Exeter's case, if we survive it.—(Laughter.)
Mr. ROEBUCK would gladly take the appointment on
that contingency. lie hoped their Lordships would sur-
vive the case in question; at all events, the Court would.
The matter then dropped.
