COURT Of ICING'S BENCH, JULY 16.
FRANCES SMITH v. LUXE LYONS.
This was an action brought by a young woman,
u•ko had been some years the nurse of the three
aitildren of Mr. Robinson, widower, a Merchant of
London, and a Special Juryman, against a brewer at
Shadwell, for a libel. It appeared, that the children
Of Mr. Robinson were left under the plaintiff's care
at Herne Bay, near Canterbury, for the last bathing
season, and that the defendant, with his wife and four
children, were-visiting the same watering place. Mr.
R. and the defendant had. been acquainted many
years. As soon as the plaintiff returned to town, she
told her master that the defendant had been taking
'the grossest liberties with her ; in consequence of
which Mr. It. wrote a note to the-defendant, who
(called upon Mr. R. ; when Mr. it. addressed him—
`" Are you not ashamed of yourself, Mr. Lyons r'
The defendant replied, that, the plaintiff had been be-
forehand with him, as he suspected shiwould be ;-
1 but he would chew Mr. R. what a pretty w—re he
had in his house. He then told a tale which so greatly
astonished Mr. R. that he' asked whether he had any
oljection to put it into writing 1 The defendant re-
Ceitainly not." He then dictated, and Mr.
R. wrote the narrative which formed the libel. The
words spoken disclosed the most unworthy and de-
grading conduct on the part of the defendant, who
appealed to Gon in the paper, that he was actu tied
only by a desire to discover the real character of his
friend's confidential nurse, In making the overtures to
her which he confessed to have made; and coldly
declared, that though he had placed the plaintiff in a
situation to have enjoyed an opportunity of himself
personally becoming connected with her, yet he had
baulked her desire. According to the testimony of
Mr. Robinson, who was called for the plaintiff, he,
upon the completion of tl.e written p iper, put it to
the defendant, that as he had offered t ) swear to this
narrative, had taken Gon to witness for the truth of
it, and had caked fur a Bible that Mr. R. might
swear him (which' he refused to do, as unautheriaed)
he could have no objection to sign the paper. lie de-
' murredto this at first; but at last did so. Mr. IL
testified that this communication was not made to
him in confidence. Captain-Gregs, the brother-in-
law of Mr. R. who was called as a witness by the
defendant, was not present at the beginning of the
dectation, but was sent for by desire of the defendant,
had the former part read over to him, and Was pre-
sent at the writing of the latter. Et testifit:d, that
when Mr. Robinson asked the defendant to sign the
paper, he objected, that it was made in confidence,
,and that he could not be asked to sign it. Upon Mr.
Robinson pressing it, the deli ndant grew angry, and
oared to go before the Lord Mayor, and swear to
' its truth. When the defendant had Agned it, Mr.
Robinson put it into hi's pocket, and said, that the
'plaintiff might make what use of it she pleased. The
plaintiff was still in the service of Mr. Robinson.
Lord ELLENE01(017011 told die Jury of the distinc-
tion between protected confidantisil communication,
tit n, as of a friend to the maser of a servant, for the
benefit of the master, though to the detriment of the
servant, and the malicious slander ; and desired
them to consider, whether, in th7s case, the defen-
dant had not gone as much beyond the limits of de-
licacy and utility, in communicating to Mr. Robin-
son the suppossd character of the plaintiff, as he had
exceeded the limits of honour and manly dignity in
himself laying snares to tempt her chastity. It the
disgusting circumstances he had described were true,
his temptation wa; malicious ; and if it was false,
his libel was false al-o.

The Jury, after retiring for about half an hour,
found a verdict for the platntiff—Dam tges £3O.
