COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Joys 13.
LIBEL.—?HE KING V. WILLIAM BRYANT.

hip. ADOLPHUS moved the judgment of. the Court
against the defendant, late printer and publisher of the
Common Sense and Weekly Globe newspaper, for pub-
lishing in that paper on the ISth of November last, a
most gross and scandalous libel on the character of Al-
lied Bunn, Esq. The defendant had pleaded guilty, and
was brought up in the custody of one of the turnkeys
of Newgate; he being now suffering the judgment of
the Court for the publication of a libel in the same pa-
per, on the character of Colonel Fitzharding Berkeley.
An affidavit was put in by the prosecutor, in which
he denied the facts alleged in the libel. The defendant
also put in an affidavit, stating his regret for having
been unconsciously the cause of the publication of a
paragraph calculated to injure Mr.:Bunn, who was a
Gentleman personally unknown to him, and against
whom he entertained no malicious feeling ; that he was,
at the time, only engaged by the proprietors of the
paper, at a salary of two guineas a week ; that it was
usual for him to absent him-elf from the printing office
from nine o'clock on Saturday evening till three o'clock
on Sunday morning, during which interval the libel in
question was insei ted without his knowledge; that,
shortly after the rule for a criminal information was
made absolute, he discontinued his connexion with the
paper ; that he had offered to give up the manuscript
and the name of its author; that he had a wife and six
children depending on him for support, and that he had
already been five months iu confinement; and he con-
cluded by throwing himself upon the merciful consi-
deration of the Court.

Mr. Mammon addressed the Court in aggravation, and Mr. J.
Wituasts in mitigation of punishment.
Mr. Justice BATLay then pronounced ths. judgment
of the Court. He observed, that if the Court had to
pass sentence on the author of this libel, which was of
a most malignant description, the punishment would
have been very different from
.that which the Court
thought it fit to impose upon the defendant. There was
a very marked 'difference between the case of the de-
fendant and of the writer of the libel. The defendant,
however, had to answer for great negligence and indis-
cretion. It was the bounden duty of every printer and
publisher to take care that nothing appeared. in his paper
that should cast reflections on, or wound the feelings of
any individual. The defendant being absent was, to say
the least of it, extremely indiscreet, because he thereby
gave other pe sous an opportunity tit. introduce.para-
graphs of an improper description into the paper. In,
consequence of his baying, however, abandoned all con.*
nexion with the paper, and of his having pleaded guilty,
and thereby not h ring put the parties to in unneces-
sary expense, the Court would pass a much lighter sen-
tence than it otherwise would. have done: His Lordship
then sentenced the defendant to be imprisoned in
New•gate fbr the space of one month from the expira-
tion of the period of imprisonment he was at present
undergoing.
