COURT OF KING'S BTNCII, DUBLIN', JUNR IR •

JONES V. CAMCK.

Bit...WM.IAT opened the pl=ding. He saltl,-that
this was a special action on the case for a libel, and
that the declaration contained five counts. The first
stated that the plaintiff, Frederick Edward Jones,
was proprietor and patentee of a certain place of
public amusement, called the " Theatre Royal ;" drat
the defendant, John Carrick, was proprietor and
printer of a certain newspaper, called " Carrick's
.Morning Post r and he, the defendant, had printed
and published in his said paper a libel of, and con-
cerning the said Frederick Edward Jones, for the
purpo e of holding him up to contempt and ridicule,
and injuring his character and property. The alleged
libel was then set out. There was a count for special
damages sustained in consequence thereof. The da-
mages were laid at Two Thousand Pounds, and the
defendant pleaded the general issue.
Mr. Serjeant Jos, stated the Case on the part of the
plaintiff. All difficulty respecting the application of
the libel was removed by the annotations—no man
in Dublin could read it and be so foolish as to doubt
it applied to Mr. Jones. The following is the poetry
" Thus excited, we chatted of players and poets
Of the stars and the sparks—of the brilliant and low wits ;
And grieved, when 114 found out by certain things read,
That the genius of drama was dying or dead—
TMit the • lights of old Crow-street, so bright and inspiring,
Litz sumbeams at evening, were slowly retiring—
Yt lingering and loth as a midsummer's day,
Till unkindness and tyranny force them away;
nd whatever of merit, or Worth that reniains,
Depends upon whatever of Cash Hz detains,
Who wields about Crow-street so wildly the reins.
But, alas ! the perspective still darker we find,
Though bad at the best, yet,' theses's( is bekistd.'
• For the Vicetetal sceptre (albeit almost isetest).
Will room be resigned by one favourite
And now for the annotation :

" The affits of Drury-lane Theatre suffered all the mischiefs
which could arise from the imprudence Cr inability of the Ma-
nager. rleetwood. That Gentleman had embarrassed his do-
mestic concerns, by almost every species of misconduct. Ile
wa; one of those happy prodigies in life, which people gaze at,
but cannot understand ; who, without a oi.itde siaywnce of his own, I
continued to lavish away ilsousairls ; bustled on with lh ury-lane
for more than ten years, during all which time the Theatre con-
titued in great distress, and laLaured under every inconvenience,
But what renders the circumstance so extraordinary is, that
while the whole theatrical train scarcely gleaned from the pro.
fits money sufficient to sustain existence, their profli,;ate Mon:
wa+ring sump, and enjoying emery funny. F:twood at la.:
foun himself involvod in such dilficulties, that there
no other means of extricating himself from them but • • •."

But what? Three stars! 'What is the meanisg of
the three stars, Gentlemen ? Something too bad to
he expressed! But this is not all. We are tcl,l

The plaintiff's case was then closed; and. Mr.
H. D. GRADY stated the case of the defendant, in a
rh which occupied near two Lours and a half in
delivery. No witnesses were examined on the
part of the defendant.

Lord NORSURT chlrged the Jury, leaving the
elocution altogether to their decision. They retired
fat a short.tinte, and then brought in a vesdict for
tOc defendtnt. Thh verdict was received by a very
t.coordsd Ctv.rt, three distinct rounds of arplau ,e.
