DOME r. LORD F. BENTINCIL.
This was an artion brought by the plaintiff, a Lieute-
nant-Colonel in the array, against Lord P. Bentinck, for
a libel. The artion was tried before the Chief Justice
of the Court of King's Sench, and was fur a libel on the
chantrter of the itlaintiff. The libel was contained in
the report of a l.ourt of Inquiry appointed by the Cour
isander-in-Cloief to inquire into certain charges Md.
Irked against the plaintiff, of which Court the defendant
was President ; and, as such, presented the report in
question to the Counander-in-Chirf. The plaintiff,
considering this report as containing libellous motet.,
reflecting on his character, brought au action against
his Lordship, and subpoenaed Sir Henry Torres*, the
Secretary to the Couunauder-in-Chief, to produce the
report. On Sir henry being called on to do so, the
Counsel for the defendant took an objection to the pro-
duction of the report, on the ground that it was state
duel:went, and therefore that Sir Henry was not at li-
berty to produce it. The Chief Justice held the ob-
jection to be good, and directed a verdict to be entered
for the defendant. The plaintiff tendered his hill of ex-
ceptions, and brought his writ of error, which this day
canoe on to be argued before the Judges of the Common
Pleas and Barons, in the Exchequer l-Isainber.
