THE LATE EAST INDIA CAD-o'6
SHIP CASE.
LE WES, August 4.
(Before Auckland, Esq , Deputy-Sheriff.)
DEW V. COHEN.
This was a writ of inquiry to assess the damages fof
a libel inserted by the defendant in the Brighl
Guardian, the defendant having suffered judgment to
go by default.
Mr.t Ballantine was for the plaintiff, and Mr. Jets
for the defence.
Mr. BALLANTINE said the plaintiff,
.Mr. Dew, was a
auctioneer, residing in Kiug William-street, London, and 0
he brought this action to recover compensation in dainat'a
fo,r injury to his character and business by the publieatibic
of a libel by the defendant, whose paper had a considera
circulation in Sussex, where plaintiff had many friers
es
He did not impute any m dice or improper molt
to the defendant, but he had shown a want of care $;64
diiigence in this case. Mr. Ballantine here proneeu st
to re,rrate the circumstances attending the late laof
India Cadetship case. Had the report complaineher-1
been strictly a report of what took place in London, wnio
a charge was instituted against Mr. Dew by the fr-lida
India Company, Mr. Dew would not have brought toe
action, but, instead of reporting what took plaee,,, ce
defendant had condensed the report, not giving Mr. me of
the full benefit of the observations made in the course,,
hearing the charge, nor giving the people of this COtieivo
an opportunity of judging of the transaction ;° •
the condensation one of the gravest charges from w"hdid)
a man could suffer was made against Mr. Dew.
Ballantine, here read the article, which was a followsb,
" ILLEGAL SALE OF AN EAST INDIA CADETSHIP.'
18-,..„.
Saturday Mr. John Harry Drew, auctioneer, of 'Pyr,
William-street, and Mr. William Rallett, of Bayawateb. ,
were charged before Mr. Hardwick, of the Marlboroug_,
street Police-office, with being concerned in negotiatio%
for the sale of a cadetship in the East India Coall3nA.tlea
service, in violation of the 49th Geo. which Ma"
such a proceeding a misdemeanour. Mr. Clarkson ac,
peared for the prosecution. It appeared -that the Pr
soners had represented to Mr. Coppard, forinely residiago
the London-road, Brighton, and now at Horsham,„ffw
was seeking a cadetship for his step-son, Mr. John
thew Boswell, that they could procure him a cadetship'
on receiving 1,050/. or 1,100/., through the influence of
Mr. Henry Shank, formerly a Director of the couvaLvd
and they exhibited to him a note, purporting tube sign.es.
by Mr. Shank, promising to procure Mr. Boswell
detship in November next, and on handing over the
cument, and also a certificate signed by the prison:to
and another person not in custody, that the signature
0/.
that of Mr. Shank, Mr. Coppard paid the parties 1.,°."44..
It was proved that the sienature purporting robe to
Shank's was a forgery. The priseners were admltteu
bail."
The jury would see that not only was the plaintiff stated
to be charged by the East India Company with being; --
concerned in the illegal sale of a cadetship, but thened
tide went on to charge what he was sure his Lear
Friend would admit never was stated against him, that
the document signed by the prisoner was a forged;
