factors in France and in this country have double the
'quantity of corn which they can sell at the market
price; which, under the weight of taxatios, is, they tell
us. the lowest remunerating price; and they want to re-
lieve themselves by exporting the surplus. There are

Thii is an action concluding for 5,000/. damages,
against tbe publishers of the Glasgow &Wheel. and
Mr. Divid Robertson, news-agent, Ediobargh, for as
alleged libel said to be contained in the first number
of that piper. The case came on before Lord ALLO-,
WAY. Ordinary, when the counsel for the Ouster
moved his Lordship to rewit the summons and de-
fences to. the Jury Court. No objection to this mo-
tion was taken by the oounsel for the publishers and
printers.
But on the part of Mr. Robertson, Mr. WiIIGNAM
contended that the charge against him was altogether
iVrelevasit, aid mild not, from its own showing, infer
liability in Mr. Robertson in any sum of damages
whatever. The only allegation against him was, that
"orders for the said paper are received at Edinburgh
by David Robertson, Chrouicie office there." It was
not alleged that Mr. Robertson was a partner in the
concern, or is nay shape liable fur any tot its debts.—
Therefore, assessing the statement in the summons to
lie the foulest libel ever penned, there was nothing
Alleged against Mr. Robertson which in law or jus-
tice can subject him in damages to the pursuer. But

stated, that his client had seven years ago connected

of time still at his own disposal, he was advised by

tieoing the fact of his having command business
