COURT OF Ri;cusqusit, Doc: to.
ACITiOD FOR LIBRL.—JORRS W. WWILLIAM.
This wits an action brought by Mr. Jones, the agent
ofilki Holloway Road Ccmpany, against Mr. Id‘Wil-
Balk li eman of fortune.' for a libel eontaioed in a
raddressed by Mr.lM.William to the Secretary of
tfollqwo, Road Company, containing aspersions on
Mi. Sebes' character. '
It ripgegred that the defendant married a lady named
Hatetall, through whose estate a road rao, of which the
Holloifray Road Company were the Trustees. Mr.
WWillisini claimed damages for the loss sustained by
a part of his estate being taken into the road, and the
question was tried before a Sheriff's Jury, who assessed
the damages at 1.5001. Subsequently four different
actions Were brought by Mr. ltd.Williarn against the
Holloway Road Company, and different members of
it. The actions were in issue when an overrate of com-
promise was made to Mr. M'William, who, in reply,
addressed a letter to the Committee of the Holloway
Road Company, in which he expressed his willingness
to submit his claims to a referee, or to come to an ar-
rangement respecting them, bat requested that their
agents shoold have no part in the transaction, for that
on the investigation before the Sheriff a /ear preCeding,
Mr. Jaw, •by his evidence, subjected-himself to an
bandana of having given false evidence—an imputa-
tion published in a public newspaper, and which re-
arAned ant watradicied. The imputation to which Mr.
MdiVilliarit referred was a letter published in the Mors
iet Cltreeide of the 21st October, 1833, and signed by
a Mr: tededge, the solicitor of Mr. MGWilliam, in
which letter Mr. Rutledge commented with great
severity on Ora evidence given by Mr. Jones on the writ
of inquiry before the Sheriff.
The plaintiffs case having been gone through. Mr.
Raciboarati. for the defeachint, contended that the letter 1
of the' defendant was written in the way of business,
bpoe a bona 6da transaction, and not with any intention
of dotting an injury to the plaintiff. The defendant did
hot go out of his way to injure the plaintiff, but expressed
his dislike to hint as a referee, • and stated the grounds
bt hif objection. He contended that the communication
cif the defendant to the Committee was confidential, and
that if such communications were beld to be libels, the
bluirress of mankind would be at an end. Ile also sub-
hatted that Mr. *William's view of Mr. Jones's evi-
difsee was correct. and examined several witnesses to
siterport the plea of justification.

William Brand, the naarshaltrOn, stated, that on the
26th of October, he went to the shop of the prosecutor it
-conseq•ence of seeing a crowd there, when he found the
'prisoner charged with having smashed the window of
.Mr. S. and taking a bowl of gold coin therefrom. Mr;
Revery, being a Quaker, refused to give the prisoner in
"barge, as he could not give evidence upon a criminal
charge. Witness said the matter was of too serious a
mature to be passed over, and he would take him to the
Compter on his own responsibility. When about to do
so, the prisoner's hat MLA and was found to contain 181
Napoleons and Louis d'ors, and nine others were picked
up and brought from the street.
Mr. Matthew', a gentleman passing at the time, de-
posed as to seeing the prisoner take the bowl from the
window and run across the street as if to escape. Wit-
ness collared and prevented him, while in the act of
pouring some of the contents of the bowl in his hat.
He then threw .the remainder away, and the gold flew
about the streets in all directions.
Another witness gave similar testimony.
The prisoner put in a well written defence, wherein
be stated that he was wholly unconscious of his acts on
the day in question. He had lost an amiable wife, who
had left him five children, and his circumstances hav-
ing become deranged, his mind also became in like
manner impaired. He implored the Court and Jury to
take a faVourable view of his Condict, and restore him
to his helpless children.-
The prisoner called two respectable witnesses, who
gave him an excellent character ; one of whom said,
he had no doubt, from daily observation, but that at
times his reasoniag lecithin of late had been much
impaired.
The Common SERGZANT left it to the Jury to say
whether a eaaa, whose attention had, been arrested by
valuable property which he stole, concealed, and at-
tempted to make off with, could be supposed to he
