A Guard of Honour, composed of the brigade of Ore-
nadier Guards, in white gaiters, preceded by the band
of the Ist Regiment of Foot Guards, in their state
uniformi, marched into the Court-yard of the PatJace, 1
A detachment of the Life Guards, with their band I,
of trumpets, trombones, and kettle-drums, in their
splendid state uniforms, marched into. Waterloo-
place, opposite the Palace, about the same time.—
Fach of the bands played alternately some delight-
ful marches, overtures, &c. Sir ROBERT BAKER. the
Chief Magistrate of the Police, with Townsend, Sayer,
and a numerous assemblage cd Police Officers, were
also in attendance.
l'he Porters at the gates appeared in their new
state liveries, with their embroidered sashes and staves.
--The Marshalmen, Gentlemen Porters, and Under
Porters, appeared at the grand and side entrance_ to
the Palace. In the Grand Hall were the Pages and
the Gentlemen Porters, in their purple and gold uni- ,
forms. The Yeomen of the Guard lined the Grand
Hall. The Grooms of the Great Chamber, and other
attendants, were in waiting in the Octagon Hall. .
Several of the distinguished Members of the Uni-
versity of Cambridge, who are in the babitof attend-
ing Court. arrived at the Palace previous to the ge-
neral proce,:sion of the University reaching it, they
having assembled at Wills's RooMs. in King-street,
St. James's, with the University &Beers, &c. from
which place they began to move in grand procession
a few minutes before three o'clock, guarded through
the streets by Lavender, the Bow-street Officer, and
a numerous body of Peace-officers. The procession
was headed by two Esquire Bedcils, in their full
rlbes, carrying their silver insignia of office, followed
by the Vice-Chancellor, the Caput, the Proctors, Pro-1
Proctors, Taxors, Moderators, and Scrutators. On
their arrival at the Court-yard of the Palace, they were
received by the Guard of Honour with 'presented
arms, the band playing a salute.- There was a very
numerous assemblage of the eniversity : about 26Q
Members attended. Among those present were--
The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of Ely, the Earl
of St. Germains, the Rev. Dr. Walmsley, Sir Henry Russell,
the Rev. Ilarnage Blackman, of Trinity College; Mr. George

They were shewn' into the crimson drawing-room
and anti-room, on theirarrival at the Palace.

lIIS MAJESTY soon afterwards received the Report
of the effective state of the three Regiments of Foot-
guards, and gave the military pass-word to the Offi-

Corps of Gentlemen Pensioners. Everything being
properly arranged for the reception of the Members

in Waiting, announced his MAJESTY'S readiness to
receive them,. and conducted them into the Royal
Presence.. After tie usual obeisances to the Sore-
RLIGN, the A-ICE-CII A NCEL LOR advanced in the front
the Throne, and delivered the Address voted to
l.h; MAJESTY by the University, in the most energetic
'tanner. His MAJESTY delivered a most appropriate
leply. The Noblemen and Gentlemen composing
tile assemblage were most graciously received, and
Lad the honour to kiss the KING'S hand.
The KING gave audiences to Viscount Sir:mourn
and the Duke of WELLINGTON.

CO L'R T OF CO;I
/MON COMIC& ••
•
Yesterday, a Court of Common Canna wis held,
for the dispatch of a variety of impormot.liusinsss,
which was numerously attended:
The LORD MAYOR stated, that he had received a
Letter from her Majesty, which was read to the
court.—Thc Letter was as follows:
• . " Drandenburgh House, Monday, Dec.,4.
My Loan--I am commanded by tlte Queen to say, that
her Majesty would feel herself deficient in gratitude if she omit-
ted.to testify her'ubligations to yourself and the Corporation of
the City of London, foe the extraordinary attention which you
paid to her Majesty on her late attendance at Divine Service, at
St. Paul's Cathedral.
" The Queen Was in the highest degree gratified by th. 7 good
order which was everywhere observed, although. amongst a
greater collectign of persons than her Majesty ever before be-
held, or than any other City in Europe can exhibit.
" Hes 3lajesty is more particularly obliged to your Lordship
for your refusal to comply with the suggestions of the timid, or
to yield to :be alarms of the weak, as she is convinced that the
People are too sober in their conduct, and too enlightened in
their sentiments, to need the aid of military interference to en-
force that obedience which is due to constituted authority and
lawful power.—l remain,
4' Your Lordship's most obedient Servant, •
• (Signed) " R. K. CRAVEN."
It was moved and carried unanimously, that the
Letter should be entered on the Journals.

AGGRESS TO TIIE KING.
Mr. Favet.t. rose and said, he was now ready to
bring up the Report of the Address and Petition to
his Majesty to dismiss his Ministers,
It being the Standing Order of the Court that
strangers are to retire during the reading of an Ad-
dress to the Sovereign, we are unable to lay before
the Public the discussion upon this subject. An
amendment was proposed upon the Address and Pe-
tition, when a long debate took. place. The original
motion was carried by a majority of 46, and the
Sheriffs were directed to wait upon his Majesty forth-
with, to know his Majesty's pleasure when he would
be pleased to receive it.
kItEEDOM OF Tllll.cyry TO NUE QUEEN'S COUNSEL.
Mr. OLDIIANI roc to bfing forward the motion
which stood on the paper. and which was as follows :
" That, as the impartial administration °notice, and the se-
curity of. the rights and liberties of the subject, depend greatlr
on the qualification of Advocates at the bar, this Court doth'cli-
rect that the Thanks of this Cturt (or the Freedom of this City
in a box of heart of oak) be presented to 11. Brougham, F. q.
M.P. and the Queen's Attorney-General, in manifestation of the
sense it entertains of the inviolable integrity, unshaken firmness,
and distinguished talents, which he has displayed in defending
her Majesty against the Bill of Pains and Penalties introduced
into Parliament for the purpose of divorcing her Majesty from
the King, and depriving her of her rights and dignities as Queen
of these Realms."—(Hear, hear).
Mr. OLDIIANI said, it was his intention to follow
up this motion with two others of the same kind to'
Thomas Dentuan,_Esq. M. P. and the Queen's Soli.
citor-General, and Stephen Lushington, Esq: Doctor
of Laws, and one of her Majesty's Counsel. The•
Court wouldperceive that he had given his notice
in the alternative,-so that they could either grant a
'Fete of Thauks to her Majesty's leading Counsel, or
present them with the Fieedom of the City in a box.
of heart of oak—(Load cl ics of hear). Finding the
feeling of the Court in favour of the latter branch of
the alternative, he should propose,' then,: that the
Freedom of the City be presented to the Gentlemen
alluded to in hisairotion—(Hear, h:ar). The reason.
for his having put the motion originally in the alterl
native arose out of the dilapidated state of the City,
Funds ; although he trusted they would never want.
the means of adequately rewarding great public
merit—(Hear, hear). In calling the attention of the
Court to his motion, he should first observe, that du-
ring the late war it had been the custom to. reward
military and naval Officers with presents of swords
for the performance of a tiumbe: of acts of valour
and heroism. Ile thought, however, that when- the
Court looked back at the distribution of these re-
wards, meritorious as undoubtedly were the acts out
of which they originated, the Court had rather rea- I
son to regret that some of them, which in the result
proved to have been egregiou4y, misapplied, had
been presented by the City of London ; for it was
found, in more instances than one, that individuals
had either become base 'or poor enough to sell by
public auction the swords of which they had thus
become possessed: So much for the rewards they
had conferred for services during the war. In re-
ferring to the rewards conferred of late years, he con-
fessed it appeared to him extraordinary that there
were only two instances in which boxes had been
presented by the City to civilians. One was to Dr.
Jenner, who certainly well deserved the distinction ;
and the other to Colonel Wardle. lie regretted in-
deed that upon reference to their records he could
not find such names as Erskine, Fox, Whitbread, and
Romilly, inscribed upon the rolls of their citizens—
(Hear, hear). They would have certainly graced
them better than other names which were to- be
found there—(Hear). Prior to the late' war the Court
had certainly more often regarded civil qualifications
in the distribution of their rewards ; for he found that
they had conferred the Freedom of the City upon
Dr. Price, for his writings on Civil Liberty; upon
Mr. Dunning, for his able advocacy of the right of
Petition.; upon Chief Justice Pratt, for his stand
against general warrants; upon the great Lord
Chatham, for his powerful advocacy of the rights
and liberties of the subject. It was most unfortunate
that the war which followed bad been permitted to
furnish the principal services for which the Freedom
of the City was conferred during a long period of
years. His object, -it present, was to shew that the
eminent services of Mr. Brougham, Mr. Denman,
and Dr. Lushington, rendered them particularly de-
serving of such honours as that Court was in the ha-
bit of conferring for signal public services—(Hear).
—That the impartial administration of justice de-
pended greatly on the qualifications of Advocates at
the Bar, was a proposition which he thought nobody
would contest. The Trial by Jury was the main sup-
port of public liberty, and the Freedom of the Press
was its next protector. Next after these -came, in
aid of the liberties of the People, the knowledge,
boldness, and decision of the Gentlemen of the Bar.
On them, be thought, mainly depended the due ad-
ministration of public justice. In all cases between
individuals in private life, there was no lack of firm-,1
ness at the Bar ; but it was in cases between the
Crown and humble individuals that this firmness was
more called for and.more essential—(Hear, hear).—
The temper, and' :fanners, and conciliatory conduct
of the present ;10.7ges, left nothing to be wished for
on that head-rhat times were when it was essential
to have atective in the firmness of the Adiocate;
%Rad Mr.! tskine and Mr. Dar.nirg displayed it tcni.

apicuously on such Occasions, goal indeed, It had
nevisied in the example set by-her ithijesty's Counsel,
tinder the most tryingranrcurnstances. If the great
Roman orator felt appalled in his opening oration
for Milo—if the appearance of a Special Commission
and an extraordinary Judge had induced him to ex.
claims:." '!'amen lute noni judicu noigifprma ferret
orados."—law much more mast the .Caunsel of her
Majesty have felti_when they not only saw a new
Commission, !pipit process alarmingly navel in all its
parts, and to:be conducted through all its forms by
a.body which united iii its constitution the distinct
And discordant offices of Prosecutor, Judge, and Jury!
--(I-lear, hear) ;—and above all, when they had. con-'
fided to their care the rank, the rights, the charac,
ter, and marriage-contriet of a Queen, whose fate,
:and all she held dear, was. at issue in the cause?—
.(Hear, hear).—The worthy Gentleman then entered
,upon a review of the yarious means employed to get
op tke prosecution against the Queen, and the nu-
merous difficulties opposed to her Advocates: they
had the Milan Commission to contend with out of
doors, and within they had to contend with the united.
strength of the Duke of Clarence, and the Earls of,
Dououghniore and Lauderdale. It was, indeed,
miraculous, considering all time circumstances, that
`her Majesty's Counsel should have been able to re-
but, so completely as they had done, the main points
upon which the prosecution rested ; and it was the
more extraordinary, when they. recollected that her
.11Zajesty's Counsel had had only three weeks to pre-
pare that defence which utterly annihilated the case
'for the prosecution. To enrol the names of such
'men with those of a Pratt, a Chatham, and a Dun-
ning, would strew the sense which the Court enter-
tained of great public services. Thus far he had
spoken of the public conduct of these Gentlemen.—
He-was happy to say that in their private qualities
there was also everything to admire. With Mr.
Brougham it was not his good fortune to be ac-
quainted but he had watched his public conduct
most narrowly, and when he had seen his great ener-
lilies directed to the cause of the poor, to the im-i
j:irovement of public charities, and to the diffusion'
of education, he could not but think that such a
man must have a sound and worthy heart.—(Hear,
hein-).—He had the honour of knowing Mr. Denman,
than whom there did not live a better man in private
life. Than Dr. Lushington there did not live a more
amiable or more excellent man. He had selected
these three persons, as they were the leading Counsel,
for the Queen ; and in making that selection, he was
not insensible to the great talents displayed biy. Mr.
Williams, Mr. Wylde, and Mr. TyndalL To make
the honour they were abaut to confer of value, it was
necessary to make it select ; and, under all the cir-
cumstances, he thought it better to confine the re-
ward to the three senior Counsel, though all the rest
who acted with them displayed, on every opportu7
rrity,. striking talents—( Hear, hear).-4t was more
desirable to confer civic honours on these Gentlemen,
because he feared their talents were not likely .to be
rewarded by those higher offices of the law which
were thaa.-.gift of the Crown. He then-concluded
by pospostow. bientration—" That the Freedom of
the City beztveti to *Mr. Brougham, Mi. Denman,
and Dr. Lushington, in boxes of heart of oak, of the
value of one hundrfd guineas each."—( Loud arise.

Mr. Tatcon said, it was impossible not to concur

Luis discussion bestowed upon her Majesty's Counsel,
whose private as well as public character entitled
them to every honest mans praise. Their whole
lives bad been devoted to the promotion of. both
public and private good—(,Hear, hear).
Mr. J. GRIFFITHS, Mr. SOUTHGATE, and Mr.
JUPP, also supported the motion, ,which w:ts can led,
three or -four hands only. being held up against it.--
( See Advertisement in thefiont page.)
Mr. Huncomuc moved; that the Report of the
Committee fox General Purposes, relative to the na-
ture, duties, and emoluments, of the Court of Re-
quests, be read.
The latter part-of the Report recommended that a
vacant Clerkship in the Court of Requests should be
filled by a person of the legal profession ; and to this
it was moved, as an amendment, that the Clerks
should be persons qualified to advise the Commis-
sioner in cases of difficulty. On this amendment a
long and desultory discussion took place.
•The Court then divided, and there appeared—For
the Report, 51—For the Amendment, 67—Majority
for the Amendment, 16.

" A motion was yesterday made in the Common
Council, to reward, by the Freedom of the City,
Messrs. BROUOIIAM, DENMAN, and LUSIIINeTEN—
those eloquent, zealous, and intrepid advocates, who
carried her MAJESTY ill safety and in triumph
through a cause beset with dangers,
. and in the face,
we may say, of a tribunal, where the bitterest of her;
enemies were found among the persons of her Judges.,
Well have these powerful defenders of innocence
merited the gratitude of their country, and honour-
able ii the tribute which they have now received.—
If one passing emotion of regret could mingle with
our satisfaction at this civic testimony just granted
by the Metropolis to the above distinguished men,
it would be that others hardly less prominent, and,
we may add, without offence or improprietyrnot less
meritorious labourers in the same just. cause, have
not been included in the honorary recompense be..
stowed upon their senior brethren. Of Messrs. Wile
LI AUS Tystim.,.and WYLDE, it is impossible to speak
or think too highly for tne services they rendered their
Illustrious Client, or the good and.generous disregard
of professional etiquette which. they severally and re-
peatedly shewed towards each other, where the com-
mon interest seemed to require such a sacrifice. If one
achievement beyond any, other in the whole progress
of that memorable trial be worth. recording for its
importance to the final victory, it was the masterly',
cross-examinatiOn and demolition of De Mont ; and
that was the work of Mr. WILLIAMS. While we
heartily rejoice, therefore, that the tribute has been.
paid, our gratification would haie been without alloy,

MEETING AT SUNDERLAND..

On Friday last, a numerous and highly respectable
Meeting of the Inhabitants of Sunderland, Bishop-
wearmouth, MonkWearmouth, and the vicinity, vas
held in the Assembly Room, Sunderland, to address
tier Majesty the QUERN, on the happy termination
of the late proceedings against her.
.JOHN NESHAM, Esq. was called co the Chair. He
briefly stated the object of the Meeting, and requested
they would give a candid hearting to all parties.
Mr. BERNARD OGDEN rose, and in an animated
speech, moved a*series of Resolutions, condemning,
in strong terms, the late proceeding as repugnant to
the principles of the British Constitution; as originat-
ing in a foul conspiracy to deprive her Majesty of
her just rights and privileges; and as persisted in by
Ministers to gratify their own cupidity and love of
power.—The proposed Resolutiops were adopted.
A. Fet.wxcx, Esq. then rose,. and proposed an Ad-
dress to the King, praying that he would imme-
diately diirniss his present Advisers from his con-
fidence and Councils.

The Address was read, and carried ananimously.

Mr. WILLIAM WALTON next proposed an Address
of Congratulation to her Majesty, on the triumph she
badjachieved over the machinations of her enemies.
The Address was read, seconded by Mr. LOTIIER-
I SC: roN, and carried without a dissentient voice.
The CHAIRMAN then inquired if any difference. of
opinion existed in the Meeting? and perceiving no-
thing but unanimity, he again reqtteited to know if the
Address and Resolutions which had been read should
be adopted, and they were carried by acclamation.
It was resolved, that the Earl of DARLINGTON
should be requested to present the Address to his
.Majesty, and that JOHN GEORGE LAMDTON, Esq.
and C..e Hon. W. PONVLETT, the Representatives in
Parliament for this County, be requested to present
the Address to her Majesty the Queen.
The Thanks of the Meeting were then voted to J.
Nesn NT, Esq. for his impartial conduct in the Chair,
and the Meeting dispersed.

A letter from Rome, 'dated November 18, says,
a The Austrians occupy the citadel of Ferrara, con-
formably to the :Act of Conran at Vienna, which
-reserves to them this right. Ancona has a garrison
of Papal troops."
A letter from Rio Janeiro,. contains a fact deserv-
ing of notice. It appears that -the Kirin, by some
means or other, had been•convinced of the aggrieved
state of Portugal, which was gradually creating a
large fund of discontent among his European subjects,
that must eventually produce serious consequences.
With this conviction operating on his mind, he had
determined to du something grand and important
in alleviation of the sufferings of Portugal, and se-
'vend persons had been consulted- on the subject.—
I t is even added, that a specific plan had been formed,
v.-hich had met with the concurrence of a liberal
party that has been created even is tke Brazilian
capital. The whole had, however, been &dad-atmd
by the endeavours of the Minister Vlttatrova, wire
found that he and his colleagues were not prepared
fur reform. This circumstance had quite dish. cart-
mei the liberal panty, who, for the prosecution of
their design, had resolved to wait the areival of Count
PALM CLLA, the long-expected Prime Minister, judg-
ing, though perhaps with no great feunclistion, that
when placed at the head of affairs, he would be in-
clined to uphold a scheme connected with a liberal
&iject, and intended to benefit the Monarchy. They
are likely, however, to be deprived
.of the Count's
power/lu aid for tome time longer, as the packet in
which be sailed from Lisbousprung a leak, and has
put into Gibraltar.
We find by the American Papers last received,
that party spirit is nearly extinct in the United States.
The election of Members to compose the seventeenth
Congress is concluded, as are the Governors and Li-
gislative Assemblies of the respective States. Mr.
Monson is expected to be unanimously re-elected
Pi e .hlent for the ensuing four years. It appears that
four new States. have been added to the Union
during the last Session of Congress, viz. Illinois
Alabama, Maine, and • Missouri ; which, with the
territories of Michigan and Arkansan, which will,
s on have a population to entitle them to become in-
dependent States, will double the original number
Oat declared themselves independent of Great lei i:ain
on the 4th of July, 1776. The number of States
being then only thirteen; it is now twenty-four, and
with this acquisition will be twenty-six. A Conven-
tion is now sitting at Boston, of whichthe vene-
rable Joan ADAMS, who succeeded the late General
WASIIIXgTON as President in 179.5, is a Member, to
form a new Constitution for the State-of Massachu-
sets, which is expected to adopt Universal Suffrage
and Annual Elections, .as.the adjoining State of Con-
necticut has lately done. Congress were to meet on
the 15th of December.—Fevers have been very gene-
ral inGeorgin, and most of the southern States; but
they have not extended north .of Philadelphia.—
The Democratic Press asserts positively, that the
Treaty confirming the Cession of the Hondas is ar-
rived in America, and will be announced in the Pan-
stoesfs Message to Congress.
A few evenings ago, about seven o'clock, as Mrs.
Sarah Brown, of Grunscomstreet, Grange road, Ber-
mondsey, was walking along Bermondsey-street, with
a bundle in her hand, she was surrounded by a gang
of men and boys (between 20 and 30 in number), who
began to push her about. Mrs. Brown, not aware of
their object, trie3 to push through; but when they had
got her to a dark part of the street, the whole body sur-
rounded her, and shoved her most violently from one
to the other, till they succeeded in getting the bundle
from her. She made an endeavour to seize the thief, but
the property was instantly handed from hand to hand,
till it was impossible tc tell who had it, and some of
the ruffians seemed disposed to offer her more insult,
which caused Mrs. Brown to scream out most vehe-
rnehtly. Mr. Stafford, a pawnbroker, living at No.
217 in the street? was the first who heard her shrieks,
and sallied out with a broomstick, with which he
succeeded, after much difficulty, in beating the ruf-
fians off, and rescuing Mrs. Brown from their vio-
lence. Bi the courageous conduct of this Gentle-
man, one of the thieves, named Jahn Carr, a well-
Mown character, was taken into custody, and lodged
in the Borough Comptcr, and the property was also
recovered. Corr was taken before the Alderman at
the Town Roll, and fully committed.

LAW ATEL4IarNCE.

COURT OF EINOIRENCH, DECEMBER 7.
PREStON AND vat's v..00010E.
This was hn acticin'OCAsshilt.=. The parties, whose
respective callings. we, did not learn, are co-residents
in the same teneitletir at J-lanimersmith, and 'MT. -
Coolce, after'using certain
.expressions calculatedto
excite doubt as to chastity of Mrs. Preston, most
inhuManly struck that lady upon the face,
The quairel, as described by Mrs. Preston's sister,
took place in the honse passage; 'and the circum-
stances were thessei--112r. COOke insinuated, in good
'set terms, that.'Mrs,Preston'eras no better^than she
should be; Mrs.'Preston* defied Mr. Cooke to chew
that black was the white of her eye; Mr. Cooke gave
Mrs. Preston a blow.'o,ll. the nose; Mrs. Preston gave
Mr. Cooke a box on the
.ear ; the gentleman went up
stairs, and the lady *twit into hystencs
Mr. ABRAHAM MDORE, for the defendant, went to
the Jury upon two points—the extreme improba-
bility of the 'story told by the witness ; and the abso-
lute imposiibility (well understood by the lady) of
contradicting it. Poor Mr Cooke was in a perilous
situation, charged with' an unprovoked assault, and
in a passage too, no witness being present but the
sister of the plaintiff. PrOsecution for perjury was
out of the question ; but, even into the depths of the
dark passage, light"must be thrown by the sagacity
of the Jury. What keeping, what consistency, what
likelihood, was there in the story of the witness?—
, There was imputation on the one side; aggravation
on the other ; a blow from the gentleman, a box
from the lady ; a flight by the defendant, ar.d a.fit
by the plaintiff. But Mr. Cooke, it was sworn, was
the aggressor. Now there might be a vocal assaulr
as well as a manual one. The Jury were then of
the world; would they believe—knowing the live-
liness of female temper—ewould they believe that
any lady, much less the sister of the witness, from
whose tongue (no offence to the comely damsel)
epithet vituperative, in the course of her evidence,
had seemed to run somewhat too trippingly—would
they believe that such a lady. had very cautiously
abstained from awakening the choler of the defend.
ant? But take the facts as they were sworn to—
There was a blow and a box—no want of prowess,.
therefore, on the part of the lady ; to that the de-
fendant's ear could bear ample testimony. Now the
witness, let it be remembered, was the sole directress
of all the circumstances; she had theinarslialling of
the evidence. Only suppose that she had made a
little mistake in the order of things, and that Mrs.
Preston's box on the ear had preCeded Mr. Cooke's
blow on the Ice, and the whole matter was explained
into every day's practice. Upon all the probqbilities
of the case, the.Learecd GentleinaU* thought the de-
fendant was entitled to a verdict ; but,. at worst, he
submitted; nominal damages would be liberal iom-
.
pensation to the plaintiff. •
Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages Is.
DONALDSON PA:TTER.SONTAND MILLS.

• . .
This was an action against the ;proprietors of the
31o7ning AdvertiaT, for the followhig.parairaph in
their Paper of the 10th April, 18I9.';-" Donaldson,
clerk to Mr. Woodhead, chstiller,:of DrtirY-lane; was
committed from the Bow-street dfPce, charged with
embezzling vaiious sums of money, the property of
his employe:-." .
No justification
.was pleaded, and the 'property of
zhedefendants is the Paper was admitted. ..
John Walker had known the plaintiff; Donaldson,
many years, and that he was clerk to•M'r. Woodhead,
of Drury-lane.
Cross-examined by Mr. Gtrzwyt.Witness knew
that Donaldson had been charged*at Bow-street with
embezzlement. In fact, it was only a *disputed ac-:1
count, and the plaintiff was discharged on the prof,
mirk of his mother to pay the money.
Mr. (3 URNEY, by his questions in cross-examination,
had no intention to att:vk the character of the
; he only meant to shew that there had.exiited
some foundation for the paragraph complained of,
although the 'statement as to committal was untrue.
The IVor7.ing Adrettiser was a Pape:. taking no part
in political ciscossion, conducted for the benefit of
a most valuable Charity; it affected to give state-
ments rather than opinions, and this was the first in-
stanee to Which it had been subjected to an 'action
for libel. Thearticle note complained of had been
copied-from another Paper ; a contradiction had been
at once inserted upon the application of the plaintiff,'
and it had been promised that contradiction should
be. accepted as satisfaction. •
Matthew Mills proved a promise by the plaintiff
to be satisfied with a contradiction cand the Morning
...4drcriiser of the 12th of April, containing a con.-.
tradiction, was put in.
Mr. ScAnLerT briefly replied; and the Jury found
for the plaintiff—Damages £5O.
