This was an action brought by the plaintiff (a
ji.:eporter of Policioi,iitelligence fOr the Nevvspa-
pers) against the".defendantS, Proprietor,s of The
:Times Newspaper, for a. libel published hi that
Paper on the:4th February, 1819: The follow.;
ing:were the circumstances of the case as they
appeared in evidence :---L-The plaintiff had for-
perky famished reports to The Times, but pre-
vious to the ptiLliCaii:m'a 'the libel the Editor,
,iiiejugdissatisfied .with his; reports, would not re-;
ceive any more froinhitii. By au arrangement
which the plaintiff thee Made with Mr:Kitson, 'a
Clerk- at -Union:44la; Police-office, the
;genet; was conveyed by the plaintiff le Kitson's
name ; but he dying in December, ISIS, shortly
'after a letter Nia3,•,ree4iiied at The ,Times thrice,
signed J. Reeves ,(the.nanie of Chief Clerk
..at, Union-Hall), codering to furnish. ritiPerts of
Apolice intelligence, it the
,satne manner to Mr,
hotiOn had &Me 'betdre his death, and'aCcompa.;;
7itying the letter.with. a packet of Police
genre. The defendants signified 'their accept-
ance of the oiler 'byltserting the communi-Otion,
arid they coiftinued. to redeive similar commeni.,
eatieus,igned John Reeveyvhich were brought
to the office by a liltie boy. On the:lBth Jan.
7819, a'r*Oort l'ia.S'brOught to The Tinabs Office,
,signed eeNes, as usual, and containing an
account of—a child. being burnt to death in
'lllackfriar'S%:road,. and. that by' a singular coinci-
:chance, whilst .the: child was being conveyed to
Guy's Hospital,,the mother was met, being con-
awed home on a stinger, dreadfully, hurt, hav-
ing been run over by A horsenean riding at full
.Theliceontit further stated, 'that an In-
fluent 44,lien.lkeld on the child,, and 'a verdict
of accidental death returned, and that the moth*.
'was since dead; :and an inque'st was eitpected to
..„
sit on her on the following.day. The account was
inserted in The Times, but it afterwards appeared
the mother ita,sancit dead, she being. in,fact still
alive, and was produced as a 'witness, and other
minute'; 'circumstance's were also inaccurately
stated,. When these eircninstances known
at. The Times Office,. inquiry was made. of Mic
who deified all knowledge of the matter,
Jiever, hiLving written any „letter, or furnished any
intelligence to The Times, or authorized any
`body else to do•so in his naine In
,a. day or two
afterwards ,anpther account was sent to The
Times, .headed " Disturing of the dead," sign--
ed. J. geeves,•and in which the defendants stated
there, were great inaccuracies, but that fact was
not made outin evidence. Suspicion falling on.
the plaintiff, as heing the, person who sent the
accounts in Mr. W.!eves's name) a charge was
44eferred against „him at the Union-hail police-
offic4of. obtaining' money under false pretence's.
Mr. Chambers, the Magistrate, then heard the
matter. in his :private. room Mr. Reeves, the
plaintiff, and a clerk from The Times Office,
being present. On that ; occasion the plaintiff
acknowledged that Reeves had not employed
him, and also admitted he had done very wrong
in -affixing Reeves's name without hiS permission.
No money having actually been received, the
Magistrate dismissed the charge, but forbade the
plaintiff ever again coming to the interior of that
office \which he had: before been accustomed to
do. The account whiCh the defendants publish-
ed in their.. Paper on the following morning,
was the libel for which,.the. present action was
brought.
The defendants pleaded a justification.
'ln the course of the trial the Loan Cure
Just= suggested tha: a Juror should be with-
drawn,•but the plaintiff refused.
The evidence on both sides being gone
through,
The Loip CHIEF JUSTICE charged the Jury;
who retired to deliberate, and were out of Court
upwards of. half an hour; on their return they
found a verdict for the defendant on the 2d, 3d,
4th sth, Cith, and nth pleas ; and- for the plaintiff
on the Ist, Bth 9th; and 10th pleas.
Mr, SCARLETT and Mr. CHITTY Were Counsel
,for the Plaintiff ; Mr. ADOLPHUS, Mr. PLATT,
and Mr. ROBINSON conducted the case for the
defendants.
~ After the Verdict was delivered, Mr. Anon.-
PIIUS wished his Lordship to ask the Jury, if the
pleas on which they had found for the defend-
ants should not be held. good, what damages
would they have thought sufficient ? The Learn-
ed Counsel said such a questiOn had been put by
the Chief Baron Macdonald.
The Loan Cill El JUSTICE did not see how he
could ask the Jury a prospective question of that
sort, and refused, to put:it.

PROCESSION FROM HAMMERSMITH.
As early 'as eight o'clock, Hammersmith was
all in motion., and a Committee., forming part of
the body of Gentlemen who had given in their
names to accompany her Majesty, as a Guard of
Honour, assembled in a field near Brandenhurgh
House. They were well mounted, and decorated
with white favours and ribbons ; a large body of ,
Horsemen joined the Committee at this
At half-past nine, the Gentlemen Connnissioners
proceeded to deliver out white wands to the
leaders of the diqerent troops, and after the
names were regularly called over (the Whole body
having enrolled themselves on Tuesday), tickets
were delivered out, whereby the holder, having
paid
.the amount of the toll for the Kensington
Gate, on receiving the ticket, was allowed to.
proceed on his way to London . without interrup:.
tion. By this arrangement the cavalcade received
no interruption in its progress. These tickets
were likewise numbered in such a way that the
cavalcade might be enabled to proceed regularly
three abreast. A.t a quarter before ten they
wheeled into the shrubbery of Brandenb,urgh
House. The Guard divided at the entrance hall
next the garden, and her Majesty's carriage then
drove tip to the door, drawn by six bay horses.
A t a few minute..; before tea the Queen stepped
into her carriage. Mr. Alderman Wood
and her Chamberlains were in attendance on
her. As soon as the Queen had get into her
coach, a party of the persons on horseback pre-
ceded her, and another plain landaulet lame&
diately followed her's, in which were the Church-
wardens and parish-ofticers, decorated with white
ribbons. The carriages having moved on) the
remainder of the honorary guard fell in in the
rear. Along the churchyard wall the charity
children of Hammersmith were drawn tip in their
Sunday clothes, and they joined the assembled
crowd in cries of " The Queen for ever." Ham-
mersmith throughout she wed symptoms of gene-
ral rejoicing. The houses were decorated with
laurel, and where that could not be procured,
with any green thing that in the least resembled
:it, Flags were flying, and the bells .were ring-

The Members of the Committee of Manage-
ment carried white wands, topped with ribbol
and :laurel. A large crowd Of pedestrians had
assembled to witness the marshalling of the
corps, and, in pOint of •amusement, they could
not complain of being disappointed. With all
his military skill,,Sir Robert Wilson seemed to
find it no easy task to form into rank- and file a
body of horsemeji, which was necessarily of ra-
ther a diversified de'seription and the pez)ple,
with their usual disposition' to raillery, Wei-eanot.

the Coufrnittee thought it well to address a reiv,
words to- them, " Friends," said he, " Are are
here for a cause sklikli I am sure yOU havt. as
much at.heaTt as we have. All that we wish is
to keep peace and order. We may not alt he'tbe

was well received.

order to march. A band of six trumpeters strucki
up a loyal air, and they proceeded into Picca-

Queen, who arrived at Park-corner, amids
the most enthusiastic cheers, about half paik trie
o'clock. Her Majesty was in a. close Canine,
drawn by six horses. She was dresed in whiti:
and looked extremely well. Lady Anne B.
milton accompanied her Majesty., A body of
fifty of the Gentlemen of Hammersmith, on
horseback, all Wearing white favours; preceded
her Majesty's carriage, and three horsemen 7.ode
on each side of it.
The Hob. Koppel Craven, her Majesty's Cham-
berlain, was in the next carriage, and was fol-
lowed by Mr. Hohhouse, in full Court dress, in
a private chariot. Fifty horsemen followed; end
a number of private carriages, in which ',ere cc-

Majesty had passed through the Gate at HON
