mont for any imputation that might have been
upon him in thecowse of that inquiry, hot their buss...
was to see if there were any thing its the present puts-
lication of which he had a tight to complain. 1.11,
(ihe Attorney General) hoped Nlf. Beaumont's eon-
duct would come out dear ; he had no ill will to

grievous complaints against . the Commissioners about
that which, in due time and place, he would no doubt
make appear to be an improper,charge; but would any
man say that the mode Mr. Beaumont had taken was
the best way of supplying his character, if he had lost
it:Which he (the Attorney-General) waster from sat ink ?
Certainly not. Mr. Beaumont would not himself think
so upon reflection, his character would stand just as be-
fore; and for this reason,that the inquit y was depending.
Why then did he not wait the regular t;me for showing
that the imputations were unfounded.? If Mr. Beaumont
desired to put his eloquent Counsel forward to make a
favourable impression upon the public before that trial,
he bad done very right in bringing the action,. but the
'Jury would not lend themselves to insist. him. The
proceedings were published by the HouseelCOmmens ;,
would his Learned Friend ' , • that when he presented a
Petition to the House, containing imputations upon the
conduct of some individual, an Action could be main-
tained against the editor? .

The AT FORNIIY GENERAL proceeded—tie had given
no opinion upon the ma• ter, but when it arose he hoped
it, would be calmly ditcossed. The pubiication betore
the Colin was not intended by the defendant to cast the
slightest reflection on Mr. B Kin ont ; it was part of the
fruit of that great, tree which Lord St. Vincent had
planted.; the public, who had a feeling in the success of
all economical reforms, had ay fight to be acquainted with
it, and the Editor, who had simply communicated it to
them in a more eonveaient form, was not therefore sub-
ject to an action of slander. It r&ght be Mr. Beau.
wont's object to strike the first blow, but he was mis-
taken in supposing that the report necessarily cast any
imputation upon him. The County Fire Office received
the amount of duty on their polities, and were amount-
• . .
able for it to Government._ Their ser.untry &vett re-
'ceived these duties along. with ilsWprentriums,_and the
‘olfice was then reimbursed with
its, advances, tp Govern-
anent. • Tne imputation snightte'sip4 Vine agents, if
they stated that subsisting polielesh4d biertilisindttned,
or that the insured bad not paid thealtsty. The impiaper
accounting or the fraud of the agents might createasis-
takes if these were any, but Mr.Beauniunt chose to make
•t his own case. Sill he (the Attorney. General)•rnight'
say, without accus'ng Mr. Ifs'eetteriont of deiigning • any;
thing wrung, that his mode of doing the business opened
a wide door to fraud: With !tweet to Mr. Lye's 'letter,
ithat certainly would have' been a libellous publication
if it had not been in answer to Mr. Beaurnoin's own
tetters. His three litters .to . the Commissioners and to
r tlar Lords °fast Treasury appeared in the first paper_,
they refit:Med in •the strongest manner upon Mr. Lye,
tido was justified in anaweang thew; and the Editor,
wbo had asserted those kite: haaas bouod to insert tht:
answer. But that answer clearly *hosted. that pine
was a contruveray depending beitawefi Ake writer and'
Mr. Beaumont; it therefore eirfildchnt'ild' Mr- Beau;
moues character any inju4, as every man who read the
letter would plainly see there was &dispute between the.
parties; and therefore would not credit any thing that-
might appear to Mr. Beaumont's disadvantage. If Iris.
Lordship should think that.bitite :trim role of law the
publication of that letter made the defendant liable, it
was only a ease for nominal damages. •

Lord TUITIRDEN said, that when a.person published.
anything for his own profit, he ought first to ascertain
its truth. A part of the first publication was certainly
hichly injurious to the plaintiff's character. His Lord-'
ship was sorry that the Conitinissioners had let it piss
from them, f t it u as, besides, the subject of their in-
quiries. The letters ;hat had been supposed to have
been writtee.try d plaintiff had been published by the
defendant withoht„.(tis consent--an answer from Lye
might have been et pecited. In that letter the words
" foul falsehoods" occur again and again, and he ad-
vises Mr. Beaumont to behave with Christian charity,
and to lay aside all nialiCe. Ihe question was, whether
there was any justification for publishing that letter?l
The defendant had, without the plaintiff's authority,
published something which he took to be letters written
by the plaintiff; and because he thooght fit to publish
those letters, he therefore published the answer. Had
the plaintiff authorised the publication of .the first let-
ters, it would have been a very different thing. If the
Jury could say they wete such: publications as they
would be willing to have publishtd,cif ttiensselves, they
would find for the defenelani;Asutlf they did not think
so, then they were bound to God for ilssj pl.oiouff, with
such damage. as they would deem to be 6 paper com-
pensation.
