HARRIS W. WOLFR.

The plaintiff And defendant are both Jews. The
action was for defamation, and the words set out in
the declaration were th-se—,, Harris has robbed the
Government by FeHowes and Myers, and he was
obl:gtd to go down upon lets knees to ask par-
don." The defendant pleaded A itorification.
The.facts proved were those—the plainiiff' and the
defendant are brokers, and on the loth of September
last were Attending some sale near I:resinous. It
appeared that they both went by Hebrew nick names,,
the plaintiff being called Shoppers Rua, and the
de-
fendant Barech : and the latter in a publit house
after the sale said to a friend of the former (w6oliad
charged him, the defendant, with stealing brass, ke..)
SboEpers Kuck has robbed Fellowes and Myers,
and was obliged to go doa n on his knees," ft c.
On the part of the defendant, Mr. Gummy tnok
au objection that the words in the declaration were
not proved, inasmuch as it was there said that Har-
Tie, not Shoppers Ruck, had robbed the cketramtos.
rhis variance saved him the trouble of establishing
a justification, which he could have done to the sa
tisfaction of all parties but the plaintit...The plain-
tiff wos unsuited.

TOMLIN V. THOILNLEY.

Also an action for slander, with no special damage
laid. The plaintiff is a bricklayer, and had contracted
with the Commissioners for Holborn and Finsbury,
to repair certain sewers ; which went on regularly
unffl the 18th of May, after which date the work, on
some account, stopped. The deleadaat upon this
circessonace bad observed, •."A fine job Toinlin has
made col the sopirjlf Chapel Park—the brick-kiln,is
frozen, and he an get no more bricks without
money." On the part of the plaintiktr. SCARLETT
contended, that the phrase used by e defendant
was well understood in the trade, and that it was
intended to injure the plaintiff's credit, and was there-
fore actionable.

The word• baying been proved. Mr. MARRYAT
took an objectipe in point of law,' that as the words
did not tend to attribute general insolvency, the plain-
tiff could not recover in the relent form of the de-
claretion.

On the reeotnowndation of Lord Euxonottovatr,
k was agreed that a juror should be withdrawn, and
that each party should pay his own cow.
