LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF C(1.311110 PLEAS, June 10.
(Sittings in Banco.)
DUKE OF BRUNSWICK V. MILNER.—LIBEL.
Mr. Sergeant BILES, with whom was Mr. Wordsworth, on the
part of the defendant, the publisher of the Lancaster Guardian,
moved the Court for a rule to show cause why there should not be
a new inquiry and assessment of damages in this case, on the ground
of excessive damages. The facts of this case have already appeared
before the public. The action was brought by the plaintiff against
the defendant for the publication of a certain libellous paragraph,
contained in the Lancaster Guardian of the month of September,
l84:1, headed " All awkward Mistake," in which paragraph it wa•
asseitrd that his Serene Higlibes had bet n t into custody at
Preston, on suspicion of being one of the swell snob, and
connected with a robbery that had taken place the day
before. The paragraph, it was admitted, was a mere fiction
and a fabrication from beginning to end. An apology, on
the facts becoming known to the editor, was published
in a subsequent number of the paper. The Learned Sergeant
grounded his application on two distinct points—first, that it was
manifest that the plaintiff could not have sustained any damage by
the insertion of the paragraph in question, and which was :,d_
milted to be libellous; and secondly, that the Under. Sheriff, before
whom the case was tried during the last week, when the jury gave
a verdict for 2001. damages (a report of which appeared in The Sun
of Thursday last), improperly permitted the Duke of Brunswick,
who conducted his case in person, to introduce matter wholly
irrelevant to the inquiry, and which tended to create
a sympathy in the minds of the jury, and although the Counsel for
the defendant objected thereto, and he admitted the Under-Sheriff
had interposed, yet such matter had been allowed to be stated that
rendered such interposition useless; and also that the defendant
was not allowed to give in evidence the apology inserted by him in
the Lancaster Guardian.

After some considerable discussion on the part of the Bench,
The CHIEF JUSTICE said the Court felt no difficulty in disposing
of the present case. They had a right to suppose that all was done
by the Learned Counsel for the defendant that was necessary to
prevent any irrelevant and improper matter going before the jury.
The Court had no scales by which to assess the amount of damages
in such a case ; it was clearly in the province of the jury, unless the
amount of damages was so enormous as to be against ordinary corn.
mon sense He (the Learned Judge) was not prepared to say that
the amount awarded was too much in the present case, looking at
the nature of the paragraph, which, at all events, tended to place
the plaintiff in a degraded and ridiculous position without one
particle of truth, the whole being a mete fiction.—Hule refused.

SHERIFFS' COUIT, June 10.
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff Bußcum..)
EDWARDS V. HEALEY.

The jury were sworn in at ten o'clock, but no attorneys were
present. At a quarter past ten the Under-Sheriff took his seat,
and the above case was called on.

The plaintiff was stated to be a lodging.house keeper in Arun.
eel-street in the Strand, and the defendant a barrister, and the
claim was for 81. 11s., for lodging, washing, &c., for a lady. The
defendant objected to sundry extras, which he contended, ought not
have been charged, and paid 71. 10s. into Court. It was con.
tended by the Counsel for the plaintiff that the extras
were usual, as would be proved by witnesses. The particular
charges objected to did not transpire. The claim consisted of
charges for shoe-cleaning, "lights," " firing," "kitchen fire,"
" castors" (cruet), and 14 for the occasional use of the drawing_
room during a month.

Witnesses being called, but not being in attendance, the Under.
Sheriff suggested that the record should be withdrawn.

_ ... .-.....
Mr. MILLER, for the plaintiff, after some time, called one, and
said, probably the other would soon arrive. A witness was then
called into the box, and said he knew nothing of the matter.
The plaintiff was then nonsuited.
HETHERINGTON V. HEATH AND JONES.

This was an action to recover 131. 12s. for rent of stabling at
New Cross, Deptford. The defendants pleaded payment and set
off. The agreement for the letting of the stables appeared to be
with Heath, but the names of Heath and Jones were both on the
omnibuses, and the horses were put in the stables. The
only evidence to show that Jones himself had any con-
trol over the business was by " blowing up" the ostlers.
The plaintiff's son admitted that he rode occasionally
on the step behind the omnibus, but never inside, and plaintiff
sometimes rode in that manner, or on the box. There was a gene-
ral complaint of persons riding for nothing, but Heath said he did
not object to plaintiff being picked up on the journey. " Way.bills''
are kept for omnibuses, with the number and names of contract
passengers. Credit was frequently given, and their names were
put on the list if the master gave credit. Plaintiffs name
was never on the way-bill, he was not a " payable "
passenger ; there were so many non-payable ones that
it " knocked up the concern ;" non.payaole customers were
those who stood a " drain" to the coachman and conductor.—
(Laughter.) The plaintiff was now charged eleven guineas for his
rides. For Jones, it was contended that the defendants being
partners, did not make him liable under a contract with Heath.
The UNDER.SWERIFF said it was a question for the jury whether
there had been occupation by both.—Verdict for the plaintiff for
7/. 12s.

THE GRAND CALEDONIAN BALL.—This splen4id
ball, given in aid of the funds of the Caledonian Asylum and
Scottish Hospital, took place at Willis's Rooms on Monday; it was
in all respects truly magnificent and gratifying.
