COURT OF KING'S BENCH. JAIL 14.
LIBEL.
MATTE v. WWIIIOS.

Mr. DIIMMAII. with VASS Was Mr. Ainnasos, stated the plain-
tiffs case. He stated that this was arfactlon 'for a libel against, the
Tames Paper, which appeared In the publication of a report on the
7th of April, 182$, by which the plaintiff, a gentleman distin-
guished in the literary world, was held up as a person capable of
committing any act of dishonesty. The libel was published In a
police report, which pretended to give an account of an rsamina•
don which occurred at Marlborough-street, of a transaction In

which the plaintiff had been meows& It ;solid be awe rr ke
him (Mr. D.) to enter into a dead of the grammes* which
gave rise to the attendance of the plaintiff at the Pollee 011 am At
the house of the plaintiff a Gentleman of the name of iminsesesi
was residing, and he having purchased a dressing-case of a men of
the name of Levi. desired it to be sent to the plaintiff's redisseet
the dressing-cue was accordingly sent. bet the boy who liteuelst k
was told to call again for the money. Mr. Levi afterwards, came
to the plaintiff's house, and seeing the dressing-cue on the side-
board in the dining room, rushed into the parlour and took it; upon
this a gentleman of the name of Harvey, who was sitting at the
table with Mr. Watts, expressed his opinion of such conduct, and'
Mr. Watts rose and said Mr. Levi should not take the dressing..
case away in such a manner. Levi then went to the door and
cried out thieves and murder, and collected it crowd round the
house No. 58, Torrington-square. which was in • very quiet neigh.
bourbood. Air. Watts then sent his servant foe an °Seer, and
gave Levi into charge. When the parties arOved at Marlbohugh.
street, the Magistrate was not sitting. This was on the eve of
Good Friday. The Magistrate did not then sit, and it was
therefore agreed that the officer who had the dressing-case should
keep it in his possession until Saturday morning, when all the
parties were to appear before the Magistrate. On the Saturday
the parties did appear, and he (Mr. Denman) must take the liberty
to express his surprise at the conduct of the Magistrate, Sir G.
Fermi. who had adopted a most extraordinary course. This
Magistrate, instead of hearing the chargei publicly, proceeded not-
withstanding the remonstrances of Mr. Watts, to hear it (the
little he did hear) in the private room. How these things got
into the newspapers he could not tell. How they reported pro-
ceedings which had been heard where no Ileptirters were admitted,
he could not conceive ? But, nevertheless, a statement purporting
to be an account of what did occur at the private hearing of this
case appeared in the noses of the Monday following. On the
Saturday, after this examination had occurred, Mr. W. called at
the once of the Times, and requested that what had been stated at
the Pollee Once might not be published, as it was an er-paere
statement : to fact, Sir G. Ferran' bad stated, when the parties
entered the once, that he did not intend to investigate the case;
but if a charge was made by either party, he intended to bind the
other over SO prosecute ; consequently no case was entered into
although the plaintiff requested it. The Learned Counsel then read
the libel, which was as follows :
" MAIMPOILOVON-amass.-0o Saturday the following strange
transaction, to which it is dincult to give a name, was investigated
before Sir G. Farms., the Magistrate at this once. It appeared
that about seven o'clock on Thursday evening, during the sitting of
ore of the Magistrates, a livery servant came to the office in breath.
less baste, and required the immediate assistance of two onion
Ilion some important matter which he bad not time to explain, at
the house No. 58. Torrington-square, and Clements and Goddard
were instantly dispatched to look Into the emergency of the case,
whatever it might br. So great was the haste, the servant said.
with which their presence was required, that they ran at full speed
the whole way, and were almost out of breath when they got to their
destination. On entering the house in qurtion, they found four
men in the passage, who had evidently only lest then made a tempo-
s ary cessation from a personal conflict ; and en Inquiring the nature
of the strife, three of the party desired that he should take the
tooth into custody, while the latter as strenuously urged him to
capture the other three. The oaken. however. drtersalmed ant is
act on the bidding of either piny without Merin essmetbing mere
of the matter ' • and. after a good deal of time, and with much dif-.
ticuity, they learned that a certain dressing-ease, which stood in
view on a table in the parlouroras the boos of contention. and they
eeeened it the best course to bring that article and all the parties
at quarrel before the Magistrate. or at least to the Office, at once..
This they accordingly did; but Torrington-square being a con.
siderable distance off, when they returned the Magistrate had
retired, and nothing could be done about the matter that night,
and the next day (Friday) being a dies wen, the affair of necemitp
stood over until Saturday. but to secure the attendance of sk pees
ties, the officers took down their names, arc. and retained possess
sloe of the writing deli. Ai the hour appointed on Saturday, aN
hour were punctual In their attendance, and on one side of dite
question there appeared a gentleman who handed to the Msgistragt
his engraved card, having on it Mr. Alaric A. Watts, 511. Tees**.
ton-Square g" another gentleman, who gave his name" Enonerirerhii
•
and a third, who very reluctantly gave his name " Hervey."
on the opposite side there stood one solitary tradesman, sie. Ledo
en army and navy clothier, residing in Hemming's-row, St. Maw
tin's-labe.•
" The Magistrate having first called on Mr. Levi to state the
nature of the tramectine, be gave it thus . r. Emigre°. (be

and selected tide old Bothell, which be bundled up; to be g ma to

his young man, together with the ten &illness. when the dressing
cue should be seat home, but it was distinctly understood and
expressed that no credit was to be given but that the whole
was to be a ready-nioney affair. On Thursday be (Mr. Levi)
sent home the dressing case to the address Mr Emmerson bad
given him, No. 58, Torrington-square, with strict injunctions to
his young man, on no account to part with the dressing-case until
he had the bundle of clothes and the ten games given to him ;
but, to his astonishment, the lad returned without either dressing-
cads, clothes, or cash, and said that Mr. linunerson, when he
got the dressing-cue into his possession, desired the lad to go
about • his business, and tell Mr. Levi that he (Mr. Em-
men/so) would call on him and settle the matter.—The lad for
some time refused to quit the house, but at last be was per-
suaded to come home empty-handed. On hearing this. he
Levi) went up himself to Torrington square, half certain that
ht was done out of his dressing case ; and when he inquired
for Mr. Rmtrienon. be was surprised at being informed by Mr.
Watts that Mr. Emmerson did not live there, that it was hi.
(Mr. Watts's) house, that he could get no information there
about either Mr. Emmerson; or his dressing-ease. While this
conversation was going on in the passage, he (Mr. Levi) saw
his dressing-case standing o s a table in the parlour, and he in-
stantly made towards it, and declared that he would not quit
the room without it; but he was instantly seized by Mr. Watts',
and Mr. Harvey, who was in the parlour at the time, and in a
few minutes suddenly came to their assistance. Mr. Emniersoo,
who he was told was not in the house; all three dragged him
out of the parlour, used him with great violence. and were
about to expel him forcibly from the house, until finding that his',
cries of " murder" had collected a crowd of the neighbours
round the door, they desisted; and under the pretence that he bad
improperly entered the house, they sent for the police officers, of
which be (Mr. Levi) was exceedingly glad, for the latter conducted
themselves with the greatest propriety. Having made this state-
ment, Mr. Levi now preferred a charge of assault against his three
opponents, and they in return preferred a similar accusation against
him.

" Sir Gamma FARRANT said that be should not hold either party
to ball on these charges, but if they thought proper they might
indict each other at the Sessions. _ _ _ _ _

" Mr. Emmerson said that be had bargained for the dressing-
case, as stated by Mr. Levi, and be intended to call nn the latter
and settle with him the next day. He was quite above, he said,
any imputation that Mr. Levi could make against him ; be had sent,
be said, for his friend Colonel Leicester Stanhope, whom be ex-
pected every moment at the Office, to speak to his respectability.
" Colonel Stanhope just now drove up in his cabriolet, and on his
entering the Office, Mr. Emerson sakl he was glad he was come.
" And so am I, said Mr. Levi,' very glad to see Colonel Stan-
hope here, for I have the honour of knowing him very well ; and
the colonel will speak, lam sure, to my respectability u well
as yours. Colonel Stanhope and his brother have laid out him.
dreds with me.

" Colonel Stanhope acquiesced in what Mr. Levi said, but took
no part whatever in the proceedings, and thorily drove away as
he came.

" After a vast deal of altercation and discussion, it was in the
end settled that ten guineas and Ike bundle of clothes should be
deposited in the hands of Goddard, the officer, to be given to Mr.
Levi, and in return, the officer was to give the dressing cue to
Mr. Enunerson, and took it with him to Torrington-square, where
the exchange was finally made ; but notwithstanding this arrange-
ment. Mr. Levi declared his determination to prosecute for the
aseault, and the other parties expressed an equal resolution on the
same point."
The Learned Counsel then observed, that a great part of this
was untrue, and a great deal had been omitted. That the lad
went back empty handed, was unfounded ; and that Mr. Levy
used the words, " done out of his dressing-ease," was also un-
true— it was an elegant expression of the neves Newspaper.
No person would imagine that a Gentleman of Mr. Emitter.
son's respectability intended to " do " Levi out of his dressing-
case; but he would now state what the Thses thought of its
own conduct in publishing this report. Mr. Watts and Mr.
Emmersoa drew up a statement contradicting the report, and
went to the Thu* office ; there they were told they could lee the
Editor in the evening. They therefore left the statement, and
went again to the office in the evening. They then saw the de.
(cadent, who told them he could nor insert it Its the Paper except as
an advertisement, and demanded five guineas for its insertion. The
Plaintiff refused to give this, and consequently the contradiction was
never inserted. The plaintiff afterwards threatened to bring an
settee, and he was referred to Mr. Platt and Mr. Gibbs ; a meet-
ing took place, and the attorney of Mr. Watts and Mr. Harvey
were present • Mr. Platt then stated that he bad full power to
act, and that it was then agreed that a statement should be inserted
ia the paper contradicting the report, and that a leading
article should also be inserted, calling the attention of the public
to the statement. This never appeared, although it was promised
by Mr. Platt, and the consequence was, that the action was com-
menced. He (Mr. Denman) would prove that the report was in-
correct; and be had no hesitation in saying, that every person
would believe that the plaintiff had acquiesced in this attack on his
character if he had not brought this action to vindicate it. He should
not, therefore, say any thing about damages, but should proceed to
call witnesses to substantiate his case.

The publication of the noes was admitted, and the libel was put
in as evidence, and read by the officer of the Court.

Mr. Rmmerson examined by Mr. Ar.neasos.— Am acquainted
with the plaintiff; was residing at his house in April. 18211. and
some time previously. While I was residing there, I called at the
shop of Mr. Levi ; it was on the 3d of April; I resided there to
keep my terms at one of the Inns of Court. Mr. Levi kept a
shop. and I saw a dressing-case in the window, for which I agreed
to give him 10 guineas in money, another dressing-case, and some
old clothe*. Mr. Levi received the money and the old clothes in
Torrington-square on the Id of April. It was on the 2d of April
that I made the bargain. The dressing-case was sent home on the
3d of April, about four o'clock in the afternoon ; a boy brought it.
and he took sway my dressing-case and the old clothes. The
ten guineas was not paid, but the boy was to call the tweet day
or is about an hour. Mr. Watts was nut privy to the bargain.
dined abort five oclock. Mr. Jitney dined there. I left
the table immediately after dinner for the purpose of getting the
money. I returned in about twenty minutes. I then saw a
great number of persons about the door, and Levi walking
about the parlour with his hat on; he was calling Mr. Watts a
swindler, and he also said, that we were all swindlers together.—.
Mr. Watts told me be had seat for a police Acct. I went to look
for them. and met them in Torringtos.square. When I returned
with the officers Mr. Watts was in the passage, and requested them
to take the Jew into custody. Levi then charged Mr. Watts with
an assault. The Where took Levi into custody, and I placed the,
dressing-ease in the hands of the officers ; it was standing on the side-
board. I went to the police office with Mr. Watts ; we did notl
kale the house until a quarter of an hour after the officers. I
think two servants of Mr. Watts's went to the once; I do not think
Mr. Harvey accompanied us ; the ofke was closed when we arrived.'
We again went on Saturday marring, and Sir G. nature was sit-
ting. The case was heard in what I was told was she private room.
Mr. Watts objected to the case being heard in the private room, as
he wished to satisfy his neighbours. Levi was in the private room
with an attorney and his boy. On Mr. Watts saying he objected to
the case being hard there, Sir G. hamar? said he was not going
to hear the case. and then turned to Levi and said, lithe case seems
to rest with you." The charge that Levi made was an outline of
the transaction. but grossly exaggerated.
Lord TINTERDSII observed that he would not put that down.
Examination continued—Levi then recapitulated what bad ois.
cursed during my absence from Torrington-square.. Goa of the,
alms said be had received Levi in charge from Mr. Watts, and
that Levi bad charged Mr. Watts with assault og him. Levi did
not say that be was dime out of the dressing ease. nor that he ego.
Vetted he was. Colonel Leicester Stanhope came to the ogee
when the affair was concluded ; do not know Colonel Lincoln
_ - _
.Stanbope,

hi. brother. When I observed Col. Stanhope was coming
Mr. Levi observed that he knew Cal. Marthope, but when he came
in, Levi did not claim acquaintance with him. Col. Stanhope came
at my request. He left the alike with Mr. Watts, Mr. Here.!,
and myself. We walked towards Oafordasereet. Neither Mr.
Mitts uor his witnesses were examined. Mr. Watts requested it
severaltinses. Sir G. FA SILANT °Nerved, that he was not hearing
the cam. and therefore declined hearing them. In the course of
'that day I wept to the llesn newspaper ofilett. I

considerable erasures, and I was told it must be still considered as
an advertisement. A sum was mentioned as the charge, if
inj
sorted, but it was more than five guineas. The statement was them
read.
Mr. gatmerson, in answer to some questions from the Arnim
user-Gqpsur.. said be did not swear the affidavit after be left q
copy at the office of the rums. It was not sworn in a Chancery
cause. It was sworn before Master Wingfield. The affidavit was
then read. _ _ _

Examination continued—l was aWI told that this affidavit muss
be an advertisement. I was afterwards present at an Interview

between Mr. Watts. Mr. Pluto Mr. Burrow gh and Mr. Gibbs.
Notice of an seeks had then bees given. Mr. tit appeared on
behalf of the Times. The interview lasted up ds of an hour.
Mr. Platt did not read the addavit, he was perfectly satisfied
with one explanation. At that interview a written paper was
drawn op, but after Mr. Platt had left,
Examination continued.—The paper was afterwards produced
at Mr. Platt's house on a second interview; its terms were can-
vaned. A statement was ultimately agreed upon This is the
statement—(Statement produced.) It was to be published in the
Thus, and a leading article was to be inserted, to call attention to
k. Upon that being done, we consented to forego the action.—
Me. Platt expressed his thanks to us for our forbearance.
The statement was then put in and read ; it contained a contra-
diction of the leading points in the police report. The paragraph
which wu to be inserted as a leading article was also read.

Cross-examined by the Aeseaear-Gansaat.—Those papers last
put is were not giveo by 51r. Watts to Mr. Platt. Don't recollect
saylog—" Suppose they don't publish them." Saw Mr. Platt after-
wards at Mr. Watts's house; he said they would not consent to
publish the paragraph as a leading article, but would publish the
statement. I did write a note to Levi when he sent a second time.
I rose from the dinner table to do so. The note said that I con-
sidered his importunity insolent. When the boy came for the
money, I said I would pay him the same afternoon, or next morn-
ing. I positively swear it. As far as I recollect, that note con-
tained a true representation.
The cross-examination of the witness then proceeded as follows.
___ ...

—Had known Mr. Watts since Ind. Mr. Watts bad been the
editor of a newspaper at Leeds. Since Mr. Watts had left Leeds,
wkoess knew that be bad been engaged on the Moresferd, but did
not know in what capacity. Witness had occasionally written fur
a newspaper, but was never engaged, and bad never been paid for
his snick.. Had placed the dressing-case in the ofiker's hands be-
cause Levi said it was his property, and had attempted to seize it.
Levi concurred in the desire that it should be taken to the police-
office. Did not know whether he suggested it or not. When wk.
tress returned to Watts's be found Levi there. Never told him he
should not have his dressing-case. Had been abse►t about twenty
minutes. The money was to have been paid to Levi that day.
Re-examined—The boy had the option of not leaving it at aU.
It was on the third time of his coming that witne.s got up from
dinner to write the note.

Thos. Kibble Harvey—Was dining with Mr. Watts on the day of
the disturbance ; remembered several messengers coming. Mr. Em-
merson was out when the second messenger came ; heard a knocking
and Mr. W. went out ; witness remained in the dining.room ; beard
some persons talking loudly in the hall, and wished to ascertain
what was the matter, then heard Mr. Levi insisting :upon having,
either his dressing-case or the money ; Mr. Watts told him be
could not give it up without some power. He then told him he.
might either sit down in the hall, and wait till Mr. Emmerson
came hack, or call again. He stamped with his feet and knocked
about the chairs. Mr. Watts then raised up his hand and mashed
hint towards the door. Mr. Watts did not use any violence; but
when he attempted to push him towards the door the latter cried
out " murder" and " thieves," and attempted to go out. Wit-
neas saw a crowd round the house. and went out and brought '
him back ; Levi on seeing the box in the dining room, aid,' that
is my box, and I cannot go away without it." Mr. Watts then
said, he thought the best way to prevent the neighbourhood from
being alarmed was to send for officers. Levi kept showing himself
to the crowd, and made a great noise. Mr. Emmerson was in the
ball, and io about two minutes returned with the officers, but then
there was no appearance of a contest. Mr. Watts gave Levi in
charge, and they took him away with them. The remainder of
this witness's evidence corroborated the testimony of Mr. Rattner-
sou. It was not insinuated that Mr. Emmerson bad been in the
house while be was inquired for. Nothing passed before the Ma-
gistrate as to Mr. Watts basing denied Mr. Emmerson. It
.was
not elated that witness. Mr Watts and Mr. Emmerson. had used
great violence to Mr. Levi.
Cross-examined by the Arronsev-Geusaat.—Wu now living
with Mr. Watts. Never objected to giving his name at Marlbo-
rough-street. Could not swear to the precise words used by Mr.
Watts when Levi came. Did not think Mr. Watts told Levi that
Mr. Hammon was gone to get the time,. Witness and one of
the servants assisted in pulling Levi in, when be attempted to go
out. Levi had been in the ball about tat minutes before he saw
the box. Mr. Watts Isom that Emmerson was gone to got the
money before Levi came. Emmerson did not bring back the
money when he returned. Levi was not struck bp any body in
witness's presents ; Levi certainly said he would not go unless the
box went with him, and desired the officers to take the box with
them; the box was the only cause of dispute, to cheat him of his
box. The Magistrate said the Sessions were so near, that, he did
out "dab to go into the tan. Mr. Watts was very desirous of being
beard. and was very angry when the Magistrate said be would nut
go into the cast.
Cross-ezandeed by the Common &mama—His reason for put.
ling Levi into the house was, that he was calling thieves and
murder. Was certain that Levi was told Emniersoa would soon
be there. Was the author of several literary works.
W. Weston, who was footman to Mr. Watts when thetransac.
thin took place, was then called. His testimony went to corro-
borate that given by the other witnesses.
The written papers left at the Tina office were pot in and read.
The Artonsev•Gxmatuit addressed the Jury in behalf of the
eefentiant. but called no witnesses.

Lord fiIITIMDIX left the Jury to say whether the report pub.
fished in the Teases was a fair account of the transaction. If they
should be of *Moo that it was incorrect and injurious to the
plaintiff, their verdict ought to be for the plaintiff with moderate
damages, The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages, £5O.

apartments which the deceased had occupied. There were no fund,.
Mr. Manning said, to disburse the funeral expenses of the deceased,
and under such circumstances he applied to the alagistrate (or his
advice how to act, and his assistance to recover back the property
which had been so carried off.

quest was held on the body of Miss Charlotte Both, before T.
Stirling, Esq. at the Queen's Head, Albany-street, Regent's P.rk.

posed to no new facts, the Jury returned a verdict, » That the de-
ceased poisoned herself, being at the time in a state of temporary
mental derangement." tiles Josephine Both, the sister of the de-

neously stated that the sisters were destitute of the necessaries of
