This was Hated to be an action by which the plaintiff-bu^ht to recover a com¬ pilation id damages for certain defamato¬ ry words Cpoken by the defendant, and by which he, the plaintiff, had fullered gieat irjuryin hisbnllnefs. Mr« Set |cant Lens, for the plaintiff, (la¬ ud to the jury that the parties were both refpefiabVtradefmen in High-itreet, Shad- well, and the defendant f r fo me ft range mo¬ tive, bed known to himfclf, had thought proper not only publicly to aceufe the pLiutift of having committed a highway robbery, hilt had actually made it his bull- r.efs to place himfelf before the (hop ct the plaintifF, and, by malicious and unfounded reprefeutations, prevent his cuftomers from going into it. Thefe fa As would be ful¬ ly proved, and he had no doubt they would give fuch a verdict as would mark their fenfe of fuch wicked and fcandalous con¬ duct. The learned ferjeant then called Charles Thompfon, who dated hirr.felf to be an apprentice to the plaintiff, Mr. Ba¬ ker, who is a pork butcher, In liigh-ftreet, Shadwell. Mr. Sprat, the defendant, :s an bair-dreffer, and lives oppofite to his rrafter. On the 27th March, .Mr. Sprat's I mean well enough, Nr. At leall you know what mag is, it feems, by your talk¬ ing fo fait to me." Here the court was convulled with laughter, and the comely witnefs left the box in fmiling triumph. Henry Collycr was prefent on the 27th of March, and h:ard the defendant fay, §i who knocked the man down ?" &c. &c. The defendant was fweepinrr before his 1 1 ° door at the time. Mr Serjeant Vaughnn : " And fo, Sir, you actually heard the defendant hold this language ?" "Witnefs* "Hold what, Sir? I did not fay he was holding* any thing but a broom ?" ( Laughter.) Timothy Newton was prefent or. the 15th of April, and heard the defendant, be¬ fore the plaintiffs door, telling the peoplj that he dealt in hagmag ; and he had never dealt at his fhop ft nee. Mr. Serjeant Vaughan : Pray, Sir,what are you ? 4- Me, Sir ? I am in the tailor¬ ing iinc." A tailor! Gentlemen, the wit¬ nefs is blotter ! Now mark me, Sir. On the oatlk of a tailor, did you, or did you not. cut out this s:ut for the piainliff: — rt Me, Sir—no, yes, no, Sir ; I — I never worked for him yet." Oh ! Oh ! very well. So then, if he gains this luit by your means, he has promifed that yon (hall cut and make one fur him in your own particular line, a? you call it : M Oh dear sir—I don't exactly uuderftand—1 never made any thing for Mr. Baker, and per- haps I never may M And pray. sir* what is tne reafon you have never dealt with the plaintiff since this notable 15th of April that you talk of ?

A fecond edition of the fame paptr men. tions : Excepting the riot at the New Crofs before mentioned, at which two men were (hot, and taken to the infirmary, where one of them had a leg taken off, the night was paffed in comparative peace. Indeed in the centre of the town, there wasahnoft an uncommon silence, only broken by the distant trampling of the patroling cavalry. The report of numbers killed at that un- ufually riotous place, the New Crofs, in the tnmult laft night, are fo vague and contradictory, that we refrain to repeat them. In our firft edition, we had trusted to what we deemed a correct authority, and Hated that Gx perfons hud died in the Infirmaiy yellcrJay, of their wounds ; we. are happy to learn this morning, that only- one has died there ; and tint the gentle¬ man belonging to the Manchefte-r yeo¬ manry corps, who was thought dying at 4 o'clock yellerday, and whofe aftual death was mentioned with confidence laft ight, has paffed a comparatively good night. In fuiroundiug the hullings, and in -' difperfing the meeting yefterday, the fpirrt and promptitude of action i-j admirably difplayed by the yeomanry cavalry, was accompanied by a temper and forbearance, which has been fpoken of by perfons of all - parlies in terms of approbation* Hunt, Johnfton, Knight, Moorhoufe, Saxton, and the other leaders of the refor¬ mers, who were taken yefterday, have • paffed the night in feparate cells.

When every thing of preliminary arrangement Jiad concluded, Hunt with his immediate party, mounted a platform prepared for their reception, from whence he proceeded to addrefs the multitude. His harangue was fuifered to go on one hour, until the riot acl had been read in due form, aid then he was inter¬ rupted by a body or cavalry, acting under the orders of the ci'il magiltrates.
