M. Ledru, Lady Bulwer's acocdt, against Mr.
Thackeray, clerk TO Mr. Lawson, Sir Edwards
solicitor at Paris for libel, came before the Po-
lice Correctonelle on Friday. Mr.. Thackersy took
the occasion to complain bitterly Of the false state
ments with regard t. him that had appeared in the
London papers, charging him with design to alb
stract documents and TO corrupt witnesses-charges
which his counsel, M. Blanchet, deliberately re-
futed. Lady Bnlwer's general complaint against
Mr.. Thackeray was gone into at some length, and
the result was that Mr. Tbackeray was acquitted,
and M. Ledru condemned to pay the costs Of the
action. The alleged libel upon M Ledru is the very

her own action against Mr.. Thackeray.-Morning
