LAW INTLLLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MARCH 9.

HODGSON V. WALTER.

This trial, which has excited an unusual degree
of interest among the Newsvenders of the metropo-
lis, came on this day, befoi e Chief Jnstice ABBOT.
It was an action for an assumed libel, and injury sus-
tained by the plaintiff, in the prosecution ofthis ()cot+
pation as a Newsvender.—llamages laid at 81000.
The circumstances of the case, as they appeared
in evidence, were:

Mr. Hodgson, it appears, is a Newsvender alt 1
west end of the town, and, from the distance of his
connections from the Times Office, was, some time-id
June last, induced to remonstrate with the Publisher
of the Times Paper, upon what he considered an un-
fair priority of the distribution of that Journal: out
of this remonstrance some unpleasant feeling arose
against Mr. Hodgson, and the Proprietor of the
Paper thought proper to insert a paragraph in his
Journal, reflecting on the character of the plaintiff;
and indirectly advising his customers to obtain their
Papers of some other person, as the Proprietor of the
Times stated he was determined not to let the plaintiff
have any from his office. To obtain reparation for
this injury, the plaintiff brought this action.
Sir Jomr COPLEY and Mr. GURNEY addressed the
Court at very considerable length, upon the danger.
ous :?ndency and malicious motives of the defendants
Who had used the powerful means his Journal gave
him to circulate an: injurious impression against the
plaintiff.
Several witnesses were called, who spoke to the
altercations between the plaintiff and the publisher,
and to the general demeanour of the plaintiff ; none of
them, ho.vevcr, proved any damage sustained by hini
in consequence of the offensive paragraph in question.
Mr. SCARLETT and Mr. DENMAN made a very
brilliant reply generally, contending, that as she
plaintiff had failed to establish the damages alleged
in his declaration, they were entitled to a verdict.
The CHIEF JUSTICE made a very impartial sum-
ming up; and the Jury, after a little consideration,
gave a verdict for plaintiE—Damages £5O, costs 40s.
