LAID REPORT.

COURT OF XING'S BENCH, Nov. 21.

BISHOP OF DERRY:

The- -AIoRNe 1,-EtiErese moved this day, to
make the rule absolute, whiCh had been obtained
,
against Messrs Jenkins, Lynch, and Haynes, Pro-
m prietors of; the Cambrian newspaper.
Pk. Mr. JEKYLL shewed cause ;against the rule. The
to paragraph in question, which stated that the BishOp
•i had been long specul iting in trade, and was at length
I put into the Gazette, appeared' in the Ciuntridn of
the gilt of June. There were two grounds of &thi-
s', , eation,ia thepresent case,- The first was, that Jen-
kins was not a determined libeller, but led into mis-
r ;presentation merely by accident : the Second, that
t helpmeet he had found out his error, he had made
application to the Bishop, with every acknoWledg-
, mem of regret. From the mode in which' the libel
gal into the paper, it was to be hoped the Court
would .not think it necessary to visit the defendants
with the usual strictness of punishment for libel.
Jenkins had for some years past corre;ponded with
a Member of the House of Commtnons, who fre-.
(ineptly -sent him p iragraphs. On the Btli of June,
Jenkins received a letter, containing .the statement
in question, with some others. From such a source,
he could not doubt the authenticity of the lamina-
ti6n. It was put in the paper of the gth ; rt remain-
ed Imcontradiatd fer nearly three weeks ; when
from some paragraphs in the Bath and Chester pa- -
pets, it appeared to be Without foundation. At this
ti Me he had receivedno notice of any prosecution
against Mini but with the; spentaneous honesty
which became a respettable and. peaceable_ man, be
inserted a contradiction- of the paragraph,, with' a
suitable apology. On'the 22d of September, it came
to his knowledge, that an addtesS had been 'present-
ed to-the Bishop by the Derry Grand Jury, assuring
him of their respect, arid alluding to the 'subject of
the libel.. On the 22d of October, Jenkins,received
a letter from Mr. Chambers, of Dublin, the Bishop's
Solicitor, from which he had the first notice of the
prosecution. This letter recommended it-to him to
go to London, wait on the-Bishop's Solicitor there,
and by throwing himself on the Ireverend Prelate's
6ernency,'ary. to avoid if possible the conseqtrences
of a criminal 'action. On this, Jenkins instantly
wrote Lathe-Solicitor in Loudon'; -lit not feeliog
satilfied• with merely i'vritieg, he came on the third
day after. to London, and waited on the Bishop. He
*then stated to his Lordship, that he ger the paragraph
('pm a Member Of Parliament but in hiS return
home, he recolletted 'dist in the an xictk of-the inter-
view, he had omitted mentioning the' Ilatllie* of the
Member. He then immediately 'went 'down to
Bristol, .where :he had heard that the -IVleinherio
qoestion was, and got under his baud an aanoW-
ledguient of his being the author.
Lord Eeeaseamtotrowhereinterrupted the Learded
Counsel, anti obaprved, that as the libel was traced to
iti tource, would be for the discretion of the prose-
cutor to Copsider,.whother he would .proceed with
_the pres.ent. prosecution. -
The ATTOKNEY-GONeRAL said be would fake an
oppottunity of stating something on that subject to
their Lordships hereatter..
Lord Lord E,LLENsortovt;H on this said, that no excuse
was fuinislied for the publisher, by any thing which
had now come .out. The Court had .Merely Offered
a suegestion to the prosecutor's discretion.
Toe ATTORNEY-GENERAL replied, that all those
topics would be attended to in the progress of the
busitiess.* They would all have their weight in due

, . .
Mr. JEKYLL wished to know what his Learned
Friend meant by due time ?
Mr. ATTORNEY-GENERAL.--" I will tell my
Le.,rned Friend in terms which cannot be misunder-
stood. Let Mr. Jenkiils suffer the rule to 1?0 -Made,
absolute, and iet'judguient• go by detaglt ; let ,us
know what eVident'e he'can furnish for. the detection

of the author ; and it-will beinen for ui to deter-
mine on the propriety of pressing any judgment, of
the Court against him."
Mr. JEKYLL observed, that neither Lynch nor
Haynes hat any. part in the literary condqot of the
paper. They .had been, it was true, concerned in it
for these seven years; but they only interfered in
supplying-it with money..
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he could not pass
by the Opportunity of animadv'erting on a statement
of a newspaper, as to what he had said on theAast

coming of this case before the Con rt. '• It had been
printed in that paper, in capitals; that ht had said,
" If a libel were copied verbatim froth one paper
another,- he -(the Attorney-Get-16'M) would' be
the last•man to press for' jodgment against' the co-.
pyist ; and that his opinion jiad'been sanctioned by
tue Court;" In cons.v.ci.:ence of 'this pablica. i~ri,
be had received letters troth. several persons, now
si.aitina the sentence of --the law.,,.calling on him to
aetonshis own opinion, and not bring them up for
judgment.
''Lord E L LENBOROLIGII said, it, was not worth while
,to refute such an ass, rtion ; and, perhaps„ d !IT 4t,
tothey7crttieral enlarged upon the subject, the same
opiition would. apnea!' in Lome paper .of the next
day, with the addition, that)te had admitted it to
be cone& •

Tile ATTORNEY- 3ENERAL then repeated the terms
(Ai which Jenkins and the, other defendants might
expect clemency, Let them suffer judgrwat to. go
by default. .‘Bat no stipula:ion would, be entered
lilt°. The defendants were to use. their own dise,

cretion 5. and the Counsel for the "proieeution Would,
be guided by all ttit4tnity consistent with justice.—,..
He Must again controvert the injurious idea, th 4
the copyist was not culpable. There was scarcely a
case, in which he did not com.ider the copyist as:
more profligate and wicked than the original ainhor.
Lord ELLENBUROUGH said, the. publication had
not yet been proved a libel. But he recolleated an

application for a sin-filar rule, in the case of .a late
Noble Lord, (he believed it was . Lord Loughbo-.
rough),, against the printer of a paragraph, stating
that his fortune had been ruined by gambling tralns--
ailions. The rule was,made.absolocc.. in that case,
and-the'Court would nut I hesitate tomake the. pre-
rule absolute.
