.It Chippenham, in Wiltfitire, for.a. Libel on them
in their commercial charader. After the -Jury
Alt been fwcitii, the Connfel for the Defendants
piepofed a written apology to be made by the De-
ktidants to the Plaintiffs; and that they mould pay
the Plaintiffs,cofts of theadtion, which was agreed
to by the Counfel for the 'Plaintiffs, on which Mr;
GAltltoit thus addreffed the jury—
May if pleafe yOur.,Lordlhip—Gentlemen of the
Inry—l will not trouble my friend to open the
pleadings to you, becaufe what. has paired here
appears to me to fuperfede the neceffity of doing
it. This is an scion brought by the very refmc-
table houfe of Maitland:, Sterry, and Nettleihip,
perfealy well known to you as.a commercial houfe
in this town, who have found themfel yes under the
indifpenfible necelflty of bringing this scion, in
order to proted their commercial credit and cha.
racer from the circulation of a Libel (which I
flail not, for reafons I shall give you pretend'',
Rate a word of) againft that ref peetable houfe, and
in particular, amongft the perfons who have a
right to vote for the Borough of Chippenham, with
which town of Chippenham the houfe of Mait-
lands aid' Company_ have. been conneEted for a
number of years, molt intimately, and molt bene-
ficially for the town. The circulation of this libel
made it abfolutely neceffarY, unlefethefe Gentle-
men were difpofed to facrifice all pretenfions to
charader, to bring an action, in order to haie the
Charges in this libel fubltantiated—if they could
be fubßantiated—or retradled. The vindication of
Mr. Maitland's charade:. is the princtipal oiled
he had in. view in bringing this adion. • He had
another objeEt, if happily by any mode this caufe
could be decided, to make an end of all heart-
burning: in the town of Chippenham, with which
he has been long connected, and for the inhabi-
tants of which he has had, and has, a great
regard. But Mr. Maitland has referred it td Tome
of his friends, and tolls, who are his Counfel, to
fay whether, without com promi fins his honouroind
confiftently, with that char:titer which he is molt
anxious to preferve, he can acctilnici the apology
which is Offered ? • He neverbsid a defire to avail
hinafelf of any pecuniary coMpesfation,..and ae
are of opinion that the apologyaaluch an One as
he can with the. utmolt proprietyatapt••
Mr. Easaiti—Gentletten; I haVe •if in tmy
power to fay fomething niOre advantagionsi6 the
charmers of the plaintiffs than iffy frtettl, it Ms'

know the world malt- know, that where a perfori

injured an any—refine whatevirj fometimes'
might occur that tlibel or a &kid& is retailed;
though, the party who is. the author of it feels in his"
own mind that the tiuth of it ekilled, yet net
choofing to run the rilk of bringing other perfoni
to believe that he aced honourably, or that he
had foundations for what he raid. .But, Gentle-
men, in the name of my Clients; fob I am of Opi-
nion • find 'tope they are alfo of opinion, (andl
believei igtbitt to be ilippoled capable of wilfully
and itiletuktfly defaming another, is a great blot
upon the- reputation of any man., for nothing is fo
cruel and unjuft as flander. I am perfuaded,
therefore, it will be Confidered as. an additional
fatisfaition to ;the Plaintiffs when I fay, that
though I am ratiremely ready to• admit the paper
publithed does "tot afford that explanation I am
capable of making, yet they never had in- their
minds; or opinions, or belief; from the beginning
of this unfortunate contrciverfy, the kali difpofi--
don—the leaft feeling, of that Which this written
paper -communicates; they never had any reafon,
in the courfe of their lives, to hellcat that this re-
fpedable houfe had ever concluded themfehres in
any other manner than that which becomes an
honourable great houfe of trade—they never had
it in their intentions : they never had it in their
difpofition, or their willies, to calumniate them as
individuals,' or as a commercial body. At the
fame time.; mull fay, becaufe I think I owe it to
the plaintiffs, as well as to the defendants, that
from the very unfortunate—from the miftaken
manner in which this thing had birth. it really did
become neceffary for the plaintiffs to have this
matter cleared tip; and it gives me great fatisfac-
-6060-both as a Otintkinan, and a profeffional man
entrOlted with the reputation and the interefts of
others, to have an opportunity ofadju fling this mat-
ter, thus publicly, to, the fatisfaiticifof all parties.'
I know very well it is fometimes raid; to My Lord
and all of us have had occafion-to fee, and my
friend, Mr.Garrow, has. with great propriety, faid
in Court, This is only Paid by Counfel el, and af-
terwards the Hander goes forth, fpriugs up again,
and then it is Paid, "Oh ! this *as only find by
Counfel, and the Client was not of that opinion.
