Mr. BROUGHAM moved to make absolute the rule
calling upon the defendant to show cause why a ch.
mural information should not be filed against him, for
a libel on Viscount Itabayatia.
Sir J. SCARLRTT said, that this was an application
lot leave to file a criminal information against the Gen
tleman whose name had been mentioned, for a libel
poblisled on the characer of Viscount ltabayana, Am.
bassador from the Brazils to this country. Ile uould
not deny that the publication was libellous, I,ut he was
authotized on the past of the defendant to state, that
the paragraph was unfounded in fact. and to express
his contrition that he should have published unjust
aspersions on the private character of the Noble
Viscoont. He humbly hoped that this apology would
be thought by his Lostil.hip sufficient to justio y the cha-
racter of Viscount ltabayana, uithout his pres.ifig the
matter further.
Mr. BROUGHAM said, on the part of the prosecutor,
that he thought the apology sufficient As it, however,
came rather of 'the latest, he doubted not the Court
svoulcksee that Viscount Itabayana was put to no ex-
pense Isy this vindication f his character.

Mr. Sergeant WILoa resumed his argument in this
case to-day in support of the verdict of the Jury, con-
tending that as there had been no misrepresentation on
the part of the plaintiff, die policy was good, and he
was entitled to recover. There was a wide difference
between the statement of the may ed, and that of the
person upon whose life the assurance es effected. It was
true that when Howse was asked what medical men
was in the habit of attending him, he mentioned Mr.
Vicker. of Warminster, bet this was not material.
because he bad nor been attended by an, body else,
except a Gentleman by *hone he had been supplies&
withlnisek pills to the amount of abut .51 a year. But,
even were it otherwise, this was the repimentation et a
person, who was no party to the c•mti act, and could not
affect the fight oldie plaintiff, who was n.•t cognizant
of the fact. The Learned Sergeant submitted, dime-
fore, that the verdict •as tight, and the rule should be
dischi.ged.

Mr. :•ergeant. MannWtTnen. in reply. argued, that
as the plaintiff directed the in.utame agent to make
inquiry as to Howse's .medical man, and general state
of health, habits, lkc. of which he (the plaintiff) himself
was ignorant, he most be taken to halve refereed him tu
