COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DUBLIN, JULY 14,

LIEUTENANT CHARLES WALLIS OF THE DRIVERS CORPS
v. LIEUTENANT-COLONEL BROOKE YOUNG, OF THE

ROYAL ARTILLERY. •
This was an action for a libel, alledged to be eon-.
tained in a letter, bearing date the 26th of Novem-
ber, 1807, written by the defendant to Lieutenant- ,
Colonel M'Lean, then Brigade Major to General
Manly, Commander of the Royal Artillery in Ire-
land, and said to reflect on the Plaintiff. The de-
claration consisted of several counts : the plaintiff
laid his damages at 50001. and the defendant pleaded :
the general issue and a justification.
Mr. Serjeant BALL, the plaintiff's leading Counsel,
stated, that the plaintiff was a young ger tleman who
lately held a commission in the troop of Royal Artil-'
lery Drivers, having been appointed a Lieutenant
therein in the month of March, 1807, and was or-
dered to join the corps, then quartered in Cork, under
the'defendant, who then commanded the Royal Ar-
tillery in the south west division of Ireland. The.
Learned Counsel, after stating several circumstances
to induce a belief that the defendant entertained an
unfavourable disposition towards the plaintiff, men-
tioned, that the plaintiff was, previous to the month
of November, 1807, suspended from all military duty
by the defendant, and put under a species of arrest
by him, and that defen&nt refused to listen to any
explapation by plaintiff of his conduct—that the
plaintiff was nova afterwards permitted to do any
duty in Cork, and that be was ordered in November,
1507, to leave Cork, and to repair to the barracks at
Island-bridge near Dublin, by General Manly.—
The subject of the present action was a letter written
by the defendant, shortly after, to Major M'Lean,
then Brigade Major to the General, containing
charges of a very serious nature, against the plain-
tiff,. esiolvim his character as a gentleman, and im-
puting-toll= several ungentlemanly acts while under
the defendant's command in Cork—Colonel *Lean,
on receiving this letter as an official document, laid it
before General Manly, who ordered it to be submit
ted to some of the officers of the Corps of Drivers, at
Island-bridge, to which the plaintiff then belonged,'
to make a report upon it to him—that such repot
was favourable to the plaintiff, and that plaintiff,
conceiving-himself much aggrieved by the reprecen-
tation contained in the defendant's said letter, had
brought thesresent action. That since the bringing
of the action, a Court Martial was appointed for the
investigation of the plaintiff's conduct while in Cork,
under the command of the defendant, and that al-,
though the plaintiff was; by the sentence of the Court
Martial, cashiered, yet that the sentence was qualified
in such a manner, as to leave the defendant fully
open to the present action.
The fii'st witness for the plaintiff was Lieutenant-
Colonel M‘Lean. He said that he was in November.
I ist, and still is, doing the duty of Brigade-Major to
General Manly, who commands the Royal Artillery
in Ireland—that having received from the defendant
the letter in question, he, of course, put the plaintiff:
under an arrest ; that General Manly, from motives
of clemency, was induced to desire the officers of the
Drivers Corps at Island-bridge to consult together on
the charges contained in theletter,. and report their
opinion to him ; it was not a court of inquiry, nor
was the defendant, or any person on his behalf, pre-
sent at it, or any witnesses examined on either side.
He said, on his cross-ekamination, that it was the
duty of a Commanding Officer to report the conduct
of those under his command, whenever he thought
it necessary, and that he himself was the proper per
son to whom the report was to be made fur General
Manly. He said that the letter in question contained
animadversions on the conduct of another officer, as
well as on that of the: plaintiff, and that he, the wit-
ness, entered the letter in his book as an official docu-
ment : he knew Lieutenant-Colonel Young for up.
wards of twenty-seven years—spoke in the highest
terms of respect of him, and said that from his know-
ledge of him he was convinced that he was incapable
of making the performance of his duty subservient
to any malicious purpose..
The second *witness was Captain Henry Lane, in
the Corps of Royal Artillery Drivers, who appeared:
to be the other officer complained of by tbe Defen-
dant, in the letter to.Lieutenant-Colonel M'Lean.—
Capt. Lane proved, that being in the same regiment
with the Plaintiff, and serving in Cork, he saw an
order in the orderly-book, in the month of November
last, importing that the Plaintiff was suspended frcm '
duty by the Defendant—that shortly after such order
the Plaintiff wrote a letter to the Defendant, which '
Defendant returned unopened ; he said that the Plain-
tiff
was ordered from Cork to Island-bridge, and that
he was refused certain accommodations by the De-'
fen dant, which are usually given to officers who change
qUarters.
On the creak-examination of this witness, he said
that the Defendant had once or twice made a corn.
plaint of the Plaintiff to him, and imputed irregula-
rities to him ' • that he could not say whether the lady
that Plaintiff bad at his lodgings in Cork, was his wife
OT not.

This witness being asked whether Colonel Young
kid not occasion to make a report of himself, art-
