celebrated with great rejoclngs, althoagn u oat io-

bids fair 10 supplanI packets, IS matter worthy
OF glorious commemoration! Says The writer Tor the

This, indeed, is some proof that " Wall street is

with The king Of France and the United States, as
sun OF Chancery is now pending in behalf of the
creditors OF the late A. Oracle concerning the same

said Nehemiah Rogers from receiving, or in any way
interfering with the said certificates, which will be
served upon him Immediately upon his return to this

A. Hosack, deceased.
About twenty months afterwards this injunction
was dissolved by the Chancellor, and the Court of
csien.
Mr. Rogers then brought his action against Mr. Jo-
sepn biunt whose name was signed to the notice,
for libel.
The evidence was principally documentary.
The defence was first, that the defendant did net
publish the notice, and second that it was no libel
CHARLES King, the editor Of the American, testified
that the original manuscript of the notice was not in
the hand writing of Mr.. Blunt. He knew in whose
hand writing It was but he would not now tell
1t proved that the defendant was constantly in
bel appeared; and also that when he was asked why
ne published such libel he merely replied that Mr.
Rogerss sons would ruin him.
The Judge charged that they must prove positively
and affirmatively that the libel in question was pub
lished by and with the consent of the defendant,
otherwise they could not sustain their action for
libel.
The jury retired with orders to bring in sealed
verdict in the morning.
One of the lawyers for the plaintiff said that he had
new learnt that Charles King wrote the notice, and
that therefore he thought action for libel would lie
against him.
