;SHE .EARL OF BRIDGEWATER AND M. DE
CIDIANT.

t„,..z. • .

(14‘the 4th, the appeal of Dubois de Chemant against
tilt judgment of the Tribunal de Premiere Instance,
which had dismissed his original action against the Earl
of Bridgewater, with costs, came on to be heard before
-the Cour Royale of Fr: nce. The Counsel for M. De
Chemant stated his client's ca'e with an ability which
was worthy a better cause, but unfortunately the state
merits he. was instructed to make wire totally void of
proof, and must have appeared to every one present at
the hearing to be without foundation, in fact, in law,
or in common sense. The task of his Lordship's advo-
cate, in reply, was easy, and his eloquence of greater
effect, because his facts were clear and evident, and his
arguments incontestable, being raised upon the basis of
truth and justice. He stated, that M. De Chemant had
had the imprudence to put forth to the Court, in the
shape of a mem. it (hut uosanctioned by any Counsel,
and which no Counsel could be found to sanction. M ith
his name), and had even the ill-judged audacity to dis-
tribute in Coffee Houses, Reading Rooms, and other
public places—a libel, casting the most injurious and
unjustifitiliterefl ctions on the character and conduct
of his Lordship, e'en exposing, in the most reprehen-
sible ma, nei. those infirmities nine and sickness, which
only became known to him in his professional character,
and which every, practitioner, having the slightest deli-
cacy, or the least regard for his own reputation, would
have held as a sacred confidential trust. And this was
done with a view of intimidating his Lordship into a
compliance with the snot bitart demands he (M. De
t hernant) cho•e to make upon him. His Lordship's
Counsel, therefore, claimed from the Court the suppres-
sion of this infamous production, and demanded ex-
emplary damages for that which was equally an insult
to the public and to the I+l'ible Earl—declaring, at the
same time, his Lordship's desire, that whatever the Court
might award should be applied to the purposes of
charity. In this claim his Lordship's Counsel was firmly
supported by the King's Advocate General, M. De Brue,
who conceived the Court could not suffer parties to
distort legal proceedings into libellous defamations. and
he, in his public capacisy, demanded the suppression of
this disgraceful memoir. The sentiments of the Court,
who heard the appeal. of M. De Chemant, and the claim
made against him, as well by the King's Advocate as
by his Lordship's Counsel, will be best shown by giving
in terms the judgment it pronounced on both points:—
"
The Court considering that,in addition to the disgracefulness of
a professional man's exposing, with irony and ridicule, the infirmities
which he was called on to relieve, Dubois de Chemant had heaped
up calumnious imputations on the morals of the defendant ; and
now dehvering judgment, as well upon the claim he makes upon
the Earl of Bridgewater, u upon the demands of the public Officer
(the King's Advocate), for the suppression of the memoir, decrees
that the appeal be diunissed, that the decision appealed against be
confirmed, orders the memoir of 1.1. Do Chesnut to be suppressed,
viaticums bins in 1000 francs damages, with payment of alt costs."
