Mr. HA ar obtained an opportnnity to reqnest-that he

them again and spin; and certainly they were nut very pleasant
to read.
Mr. Haar said, there was no answer intended to be given to the
last athdavits that had been filed by the ether side. The present
affidavit was very short, only stating in hoc verbo the plaintiff's
answer to the Duke of Wellington's letter; he had only stated the
effect of it before, which the Court was not satisfied with. Having
obtained the copy, he now gave it verbatim.

to their verdict, and such damages as would prevent a
repetition of such an offence.
The libel (a kind of snag). reflecting on the disparity of age
tween the plaintiff and his wit., and containing most 'grins allusions,
having been reek
CoSIYN called Charles Corry, who sta•cd he was.
in the year 1825, apprentice to Mr. -Boast. He remem-
bered the marriage of the plaintiff and his present wife,
and received instructions from the defendant to copy
the verses in criestion. Witness s.sw the defendant
writing some 01 them hirrhvlf, and be directed him to
get them printed. The ptinier's name is Botch; here-
sides in Seven Dials. One hundred enrie, we e printed,'
and the v.itness received miney f. urn Nit. David Boast,
the deferdant's brother, to pay I,r the printing ; the'
MR1111E111)1 was left with the pr inter. The or iginAl was
all %%titter by Mr. John Bo(sst, and witness took the
copy ef them to the printer's by his direction.: there
were tau sets printed, one from the copy in Mr. John
Boast's hand-writing, and ore from a copy in the wit-,
ness's hand-writing. The second set was printed by
order of Mr. John Boast, who desired they might be
printed is before. Mt. John Boat did not attend as
the •medical attendant on Mr. Leek's family, his'hrother,
Mr. D rid Boast did. They cerried on business as
partners. Witness saw some of the copies of versesl
given away, and one of them stuck tip 09 the gateway
to the County-terrace, but did not receive from the de-
fendant-any actual direction to distribute them to h,s
Mends i the copies lay about the shop which was open
Ito all cost ,mers. .
Cross-examined by Mr. DIMMAN.—I believe Mr.
John Boast once took out a tooth for Mr. Lock, and that
was the only time he attended him. The plaintiff is an
elderly man. His wife is young, but not very young.
Mr. Lock has two daughters. Ihe eldest I should think
is much about of an age with Mrs. Lock. At the time
of the publication of this song, I was paying some at-
tentions to Miss Mary Lock; the sisters were much ir.
•
rotated at their father's marriage. -I am still paying
attention to that Lady. I left Mr. Boast in November
last, in consequence of some dissatisfaction: there had
been complaints made of my neglecting their business.
Re-eusmined by Mr. SCASLIFIT—I have no doubt that the person
alluded so in the verses is Mr. Lock, the plaintiff.
John. Burch, a printer, residing in Seven Dials, re-
members the last witness bringia4 a copy of verses to
.be printed; the first set was printed, on the 16th ,of
April, and. the manuscript destroyed; the second bet
was printsd about the 25th of April.
tross•examined by Mr. Nitric—The last witness
made an alteration in the second copy; the first was
entitled,.:". The Old Man who has four wives;" the se.
coal was, by his desire, entitled, " The Old Man's
Lamentation." There was a chorus in the original song,
Which was 'also printed in the second set. There was
also an additional verse. •
Charles Carry recalled—l have heard what the printer has'said
about the additional Term • The poetry of that is by Mr. John
Boast, hibtiletated it whilst I wrote it.
Croas-exantined by Mr. Cause.••-i don't know who directed the
alteration of the title to the second. copy; I received the order from
one a the brothers. I don't know which.
The Loin Cane Jounce—Mr. Scatlett, you hare not yet
prated the statne.of the plaintiff's wife.
James Lock—l am son of the plaintiff ;my father
married, in the month of April last year, Euphrosyne
de St. Genies. I know the Boasts; they have both at-
tended my father's family; I have known Mr. John
Boast attend more than once.

Mr. Dzwwww addressed the Jury for the defendant,
and stated that it was his duty to put it to them, whe-
ther this case had been sufficiently established against
the defendant, not by the speech of the Learned Coun-
sel, but by the evidence that had been produced in the
-declaration. It was stated that the plaintiff bad been
married to-three wives,- and that he was the father of

.terns children. The Jury bad heard of two daughters,
and had seen one son, and whether that would affect
their view of the case was for tl•eir consideration; the
plaintiff had also set out that he had married a young
lady of great beauty, virtue, and accomplishments, and
was at the same time that this libel was published living
with her in great happiness; and if.he was, he (the
Learned Counsel) could not help thinking he was very
wrong to bring, this action, which was the only way to
make the alleged libel of importance. The plaintiff had
also stated that he had attained the age of 64 years; he
(Mr. Denman) could not think he had been very wise
in marrying a young lady of such great beauty, and
with such a fine French name; but what was there to
fix the defendant with the publication of this libel ?
They had merely the evidence of an accomplice without
corroboration ; the manuscript, that was said to have
been in the hand writing of the defendant, was destroyed.
The copies might have been by him placed in the de-
ftndant's shop, and even of that they had no evidence
but his own. The very production itself bore the marks
of a very young composer, likely toisoast of the powers
of youth in comparison with the defects of old age; and
when it was by this witness admitted, that be was par
ing his court to Miss Mary Lock, it would be evident
that as the plaintiff's daughters had a dislike to their
father's marriage, it was impossible for Corry to adopt
a better mode of making himself agreeable to them than
by tendering the object of the plaintiff's choice a sub-
ject of ridicule. He was then found quitting the service
of the defendant and continuing his friendship with the
Locks ; and to render himself acceptable in the eyes of
the father, was there any thing he could do more agree-
able than to discover the author of this libel, and instead
of placing himself in that odious situation fix it on Mr.
Beast, with whom he had a disagreement, in conse-
quence of his attention to the plaintiff 's daughter?—
Under all these circumstances, he (the Learned Counsel)
put it to the Jury whether there was sufficient in the
testimony of that witness to carry the whole weight of
this cause, and to warrant them in finding a verdict for
the plaintiff, who Would have suffered but little by a
production which had excited the laughter, not only of
the audience, but of his Learned Friend Mr. Scarlett ?
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICIt having summed up the
evidence, concluded by crating that the single question'
fur the consideration of the Jury was. whether they
believed the witness Corry had stated the truth ? and
this observation be could not help. making, that if he
had not told the truth, the defendant might have called
his brother, David boast, to have contradicted him.
. The Jury, after a short consultation, found a verdict for rte
plaintiff—Damages SOL

About ZOO Gentlemen sat down to dinner yesterday
at the City of London Tavern, to celebrate the return
of Mr. Ward for the City of London. Am angst the
company we noticed several of the Merchants and
Bankers of the Metropolis, Sir Charles Price, Bart.
filled the Chair, and was supported on his right by Mr.
Ward, and on the left by Charles Barclay, Esq.. M. P.
M. Thomas Wilson, the late Member, &c. The cloth
having been removed, and the-customary toasts. given
from the chair, and drank with the usual honnuri,
The CHAIRMAN rose to propose the *health of Mr.
Ward. He was satisfied that it was quite..unnieessary
for him to occupy their time by enteritis into the merits
of the Gentleman, whom they hail assembled to con-
graiolate on his return. Yet he felt he might disappoint
their expc•atisns, and do injustice o his Hon. Friend,
if he neglected to advocate his qualifications. The situa-
tion of the country, at the period his Hon. Friend sr as
called upon, was very peculiar: and he must say, that
at that time, he coneeifed the situation of the' City of
L ndon Was most unfortunate, as they had just be n
deprived of the valuable services of his Hon. Viend n
his left,'lMr. Thtimas Wilson)—(Cheers). He vraigra.i.
fled to observe, that his lion. Flieild still continued to
receive the applause which his public prirciples and
private conduct still entitled him to. They had teen
deprived of the valuable services of his Hon.' Foetid,
and it then became necessary for the commercial body
to support the election of some Gentleman connected
with the commercial community, as a mil:Omit for
their late esteemed Representative. He was assured they
would agree with him in thinking that was matter of
congra•ulation. that they had obtaned the consent of
Mr. Ward to fill the place which had been vacated by
Mr. Wilson.—(Cheers.) Daring the last 20 or 30 years
the country had been agitated *by many important
politicalquestions, and in some instances Parliament was
called upon to suspend the hest and most valuable puin-
ciples of the Constitution. We were now, by the blessing
of Paovi Dawes, enjoying a state of tranquillity,as regal d-
ed our connection with foreign nations; but it must be
remembered th it we wet e running a course of comfner.
cial rivalry with many midges of the Continent, and that
it required the most extensive ability and the most index
fatigable zeal to grapple a ith these commercial questions
—Situated as the City of London was, it now sent four
Representatives into Parliament, of which Circe were
from the trading classes, and the fourth was his Ho
Friend, who was sent from a most important class. and
one which it was especially necessary. should have a
Suitable Representative—(Cheers). it was necessary'
that the Representative ot the mercantile interests of this
gieat Metrofols should be able to consult with the Mi-
nisters of the Crown on all que dons connected with the
Commerce of the country, that he should be able to get
up in his place, and state his sentiments, on ev ry su'iject
of importance to his constituents. He should not en. .r
into all the important topics which were likely to be in-
troduced to Parliament during the next session; but !•er
hoped he might be indulged if he adverted, pet haps not
discreetly, to one or two which appeared to him to he
of paramount importance. His Honourable F. Scud
said he would not go into Parliament pledged, and
considering the importance of many of the qui Ltiuns
upon which he must be called upon to decide, he con.
ceived this caution on the part of hitEloaomiable Friend
was 'prudent and bonourable-,.(Hear, hear, hear).
Many who did not cordially agree, with the p:ese t
assembly on political questions, boas'ed of the Revolu-
tion of 1688, for which we were ceitainly in !ebted to
the Whip; but in his (Sir C. Price's) opinion, the Whigs
of 1688 were more like the Tories of the present day,
than those who now assumed the name of Whip—.
(Applause). In alluding to what was called the Catholic
Question, he was one of those entitled Anti-Catholics :
but though he could not get a pledge horn his, Hon,
Friend to vole against the Catholics, upon other grounds
he had given him all the support in his power, though
had he (Sir C. Price) been returned, he wo ild have said
it was his intention to oppose the Catholic claim. Btu
in the Cathollc.Question, lie was sure his Hots; Friend's
discretion was the best part of valour—(Applaase). His
Hon. Friend's principle was, that he ought not to un-
dertake the duty of representing them shackled by
pledges. The next question in public consideration
was the Corn Laws, and considering the close de-
pendence of one interest with another, he could not,
avoid expressing his regret,' that this ques,ion had
been pressed in such a way as to excite hostility be..
tween the agricultural and trading interests. He
hoped his Hon. Friend would pay his best attention
to this subject; and when he entered the House of
Commons, he would consider himself the Represen-
tative of every class of his Majesty's subjects. There
were the leading questions of a drimestic nature ; .but
there were other most important questions connected
with the Nsvigation Laws, and our commercial inter-
course with other nations. On this subject-he conceived
it was most important that changes should be made
with great caution, because if other nations found that.
we injured ourselves to their benefit, they would never
recur to that system of reciprocity which was the basis.
of free trade. Nor should it ewer be forgott n, that we ,
had arrived at an Unparalleled state of prosperity under
the old system. He begged not to be understood as
admiring the system only because it was old: no, be
venerated it because under it; influence we l'ed ,ac-
quired strength and riches; and, n taithstanding the ,
'late convulsions in the City, he might add, we sere the
most favoured of nations. On these (widens he con-
fided with the greatest *satisfaction -on the judgment,
penetration, and discretion, of his
.Hon. Friend. He
was sure his 11311. Friend would not be willtag,to get
rid of the old system without first ascertaining that the
new was a proper substitute. With respect tas the
question of the currency, which had such important.
effects upon national intercourse, be conceived that the
City of London was peculiarly fortunate iu the selection;
of Mr. Ward, as no man on the Royal Exchange had
applied his mind more laboriously, and advantageously
to that subject than his Hon. Friend. On the whole,
he thought it was a high honour to the citizens of
London, to have chosen a man so capable of represent-
ing them admately. He would not detain them
