TRENCHARD V. MORE.

This was an action of slander tried at the last As-
s7zes, before Mr. Justice GitosE. It was for words
spoken., imputing to the plaintiff unnatural practices
at his own house. The words being proved, evidence
was offered in defence of reports of a similar tendarney
being current to the plaintiff's prejudice. To this
species of defence, the Counsel for the plaintiff ob-
jected ; but the Learned Judge (Grose), on tlx au-
thority of the case Lord Leicester v. Waters, declared
the evidence to be admissible ; on which the Counsel
for the plaintiff agreed to be nonsuited.
Mr. Serjeant SIJ.Lor4 now moved to set aside the
nonsuit ; but this Lord ELLENBOROUGH refused to
agree to. A person of diparaged fame was not to
recover the same amount of damages with one of en-
tire and pure character. The plaintiff had ht.re made
his election, and the Court would give him no aid ;
but he might bring another action it he chose.

It probably is not generally known, that her Royal
Highness the Princess of WALES has ever been distin-
guished by zealous exertions to promote objects of
general utility, an indisputable evidence of which is
given in the }Patronage her Royal Highness has ho-
noured Messrs. ROWLAND and SON (the Proprietors
of the Macassar Oil) with; the splendid virtues of
which, in promoting the growth of hair, are too well
knowa to the public to need comment.
