LAW REPORTS.
Richmond SurEitioit Court, )
November Term 1825. )
LA ROCHE vs. TUTT.
The principles settled in this case are :
If a declaration hr lost in the custody of the lau,
Ihtplaintiffmay file a new one, aiut the def.ndvnt
cill be allowed time to plead to it.
’ilie defendant in pis pita must set forth the sev-
r d causes and po ints of his defence.
Under the plea of the general issue, nothing ran
he "init in evidence, hut that which denies the
cause of action: therefore in slander. the defend
ant under such plea, will only he permitted to prove
that he did not speak the words, and cannot prove
itmi facts in mitigation of damages. But in order
to he let into such evidence, he must set them forth
in substance in his plea.
In slander, common rumour and report of facts,
may be given in evidence, in mitigation oj dama-
IP*-
This was an action of slander, and the
declaration being lost in the custody of
the law, ibe plaintiff offered a copy in lieu
of the original: to this copy the defendant
objected, on the ground that it was not a
true copy.
By the Court.—The Court cannot
determine the issue between the counsel.
The c»py must be filed, and the defendant
m iv have time to answer the new decla
ration.
The defendant then, amoinr other
tlii-ngs, pleaded that he had heard such re
ports about the plaintiff-—that they were
common reports, and that he did not speak
the words with a malicious intent. The
plaintiff moved to strike out this plea, be
muse tli's matter might he given in evi
dence under the general ; ssue, if at all.
By tug Court.—Under the Judiciary
of and rule of C mrt, tills matter
cannor be given in evidence under the
general issue, for the defendant must par
ticnlarlv state, in bis plea or answer, the
several causes and points of his defence.
The plea is therefore proper and must
remain.
The defendant now offered evidence of
reports, in mitigation of damages under
this plea. This evidence was objected
to by the plaintiff’s counsel, on the ground
that the individual who repeats a slander,
is answerable, to the plaintiff, and on the
ground that the reports may have been
originated hv the defendant himself, and,
lint if admitted in evidence, it would he
putting it in the power of a defendant to
make evidence for himself
By the Court.—This idea is not, nor
is it intended as a justification; but is
tin le in conformity to the judiciary of
1799- P> in. Dig. 20". which requires
that the defendant shall plainly and dis
tinctly set forth in his answers the causes
and points of his defence. The English
law in regard to what matters mav he
given in evidence under the olea of the
general issue, is therefore so far altered hv
our law, as that now, nothing can be given
in evidence under that plea, except what
amounts to a denial of th° plaintiff’- cause
of action ;—as for instance, in an action of
slander, under the plea of the general is
sue, die defendant would only be allowed
to shew that he did not speak the words
as laid hi the declaration, uMi**’ tinder t lie
English law, facts which would go in mit
igation of damages would be received un
der that plea. But under our law the
defendant may, bv properly setting forth
in his plea the facts and points on > hicli
he intends to relv, avail himself of all the
advantage given to a defendant under the
general issue according to die English
practice, whilst at the sametime the plain
tiff is apprised of the nature of die de
fence, which he mav by that means be
prepared to meet.
There are certainly difficulties on both
sides of the question now before the Court,
and T am almost induced to sav, in the lan
guage of Sir James Mansfield, (2 Camp-
hill’s Rep. 254,) “ that in point of reason,
. I cannot answer to mv own satisfaction,
the arguments urged bv mv brother,
Wilde”—Yet in the numerous authorities
cited bv the counsel rtn both sides, all of
case
John. Rep. 233, is not like the case at bar,
for there the defendant offered to prove,
under the plea of the general issue, the
truth of the words spoken, which evidence
was very properly rejected, because such
evidence can only be received under a
plea of justification, and not in mitigation
of damages under the general issue.
Neither is the case of Wolcot vs. Hall
in 6 Mass. Rep. 514, like the one at bar,
because there the defendant justified, and
under that plea attempted to give in evi
dence, common reports in mitigation of
damages. But this evidence was very
properly repelled, because the defendant
by pleading that the words were true did
a further injury tothe plaintiffbv spreading
the slander on ilie records and averring its
truth ; and because also bv that plea, the
plaintiff had no notice of such defence.
But even in that case the court said that
evidence of general bad character might
be received, because the plaintiff was pre
sumed to be alwnvs ready to encounter
that, if untrue. If then the object of the
plea be to apprize the plaintiff of the na
ture of the evidence to be given against
him, the plaintiff in this case has had full
notice, and if these reports were common
and in the mouth of every bodv, such evi
dence is certainly proper in mitigation of
damages. I< is true that in the conclu
sion of the remarks of Chief Justice Par
sons, ho seems *ofavour the objection now
made to this'evidenre, but has made no de
cision directly upon 'he point now before
the Court.
In a note to vs. Moore, the case
of Snowden vs. Smith, tried before Mr.
Jus'ice CIranibre, is mentioned, which
The defendant offered interrogatories
which had been read on the first trial,
which were objected to by the plaintiff,
on the ground that the witness resided in
the county where the action was pending,
at the time when the commission was ex-
ecuted.
Bv the Court.—No formal objection
can be taken ou the second trial, if ihe in
terrogatories hadr- been read on the first.

was an action of Slander, and th^ro the
same doctrine isjaid down as in Wolcott
vs. Hall. There the defendant justified,
and offered evidence in rrptiualion of dam
ages, but the Judge ’•enelled it, at the
same time recognizing the doctrine nf Lei
cester vs. Walter, in cases where the uon-
eral issue, nnd not a justification is plead
ed.
Upon the score of authority, there can
lie nr doubt that this evidence is admissi
ble under the plea in this case, and what
ever mv opinion mav be upon the orinc"-
ple of those decisions, I should be vorv
unwilling to piD that opinion up against
that of so mnnv learned judges, both En
glish and \mericm. \nd even admitting
that the decisions of English Judges since
•he revolution, are not binding upon the
Courts of ties country, vet tlm common
law, fortunately fur the happiness and
welfare of the people, is af so flexible and
yielding a nature, that it mav he, nnd has
been in later times, so moulded and appli
ed, as to suit the exigences of society,
nnd minister to the wants of the people,
as tliev advance in civilization, arts,
sciences, &r. Sec.
The greatle^rning and independence of
Lord Mansfield produced a new era in
English jurisprudence, bv new and saluta
ry applications of the principles of the
common law. Tfipse have been impro
ved on bv subsequent jurists, and T shall
alwavstnke Measure in availing mvsplf of
the new lights which may be shed upon
this beautiful svstem, T am unwilling to
hind mvsolf down to anv period in regard
to the common law, for it is an universal
system extending itself to almost all the
various ramifactions of civilized life, and
nossessing principles suited tothe meredi-
m of every country, and particularly to
the free institutions of our government.
Lot these principles then be developed,
and lie who can make new and happy ap
plications of them deserves to be encour
aged in the work. Let the evidence be
received.

Richmond Superior Court, )
November Term, 1826. )
SMITH, indorsee vs. BROWN, maker.
The principles settled in this case arc:
The want or failure of consideration cannot be
given in evidence under the plea of the general is
sue. but the cause of defence must be plainly and
dist im ily set forth in ihe plea.
So formal objections can be made to ihierroga-
toncs which have been read on the first trial of a
cause.
Interrogatories may be exhibited to a witness re
siding within the county, provided his testimony
cannot be otherwise duly obtained.
A nott endorsed after it is due, is subject to all
the equity that it was in tne hands of the original
party.
The.endorser of a note is a good witness to im
peach the title of the holder.
This was an action on a promissory
wh.ch I have carofullv examined, f do | note, ?nd the plea was the general issue,
not find a single case-in which such evi- 1 The defence relied on, was total failure
deaco as that now offered has been reject- i of the consideration, the note having been
«d, when offered in mitigation of damages i given for a negro woman the de.
ofthe witness, the questions asked, and
other matters of substance may be made.
In this case it appears that the witness
lived in the county, and could not therefore
be examined on interrogatories, unless his
testimony could not be otherwise duly ob
tained—Prin. D?g. 145. The party of
fering them, must therefore show this fact,
or they will be rejected. It having how
ever been the practice to reject all objec
tions to interrogatories which had been
read on the first trial; this decision may
operate a surprise on the defendant, and
therefore the plaintiff must admit them, or
consent to withdraw the case from the jury
and continue it.
The defendant offered in evidence the
sayings of Wilder, ihe payee and endorser
of the note, to prove fraud in the transac
tion, and collusion between himself and
the plaintiff, on the ground iliat Wilder is
no party to the suit, and is himself a com
petent witness.
By the Court.—This note was en
dorsed afier due, and is therefore subject
to all the equity that existed between the
original parties, 2 Wra. Ab. 398, 400—2
John. Rep. 51,300—1 Ter. Rep. 1'68—
3 Ter. Rep. SO—7 Ter. Rep. 422 :—
therefoie any sayings of Wilder, before
or at the time of the contract, may be con
sidered as a part of the transaction, and
is good evidence. But what he may have
said afterwards cannot be received, be
cause lie himself is a competent witness to
impeach the title of the holder of this
note. 1 Esp. cases 176—Jnurdam vs.
Lashbrook, 7 Ter. Rep. 601—Peake’s
cases, 6, 224. Whatever, therefore, Wil
der said, at or before the contract, which
goes to show fraud, on his part, may be
given in evidence.

RUSSIA AND PERSIA.
The following intelligence from Asia
is of much interest, because we have for
a long time considered the war, which
Russia wages with Persia, piUgnant with
consequences much more important than
the mere fate of a Persian dynasty, or the
integrity of the Persian possesions. Ev
ery move that Rusian makes in" the East
brings her nearer to British India; & Eng
land must view with the deepest interest
if not with apprehension, the progress of
the-Russian power in that quarter. She
can, in fact, not remain much longer an
inactive spectator of the war, and it is on
the fields of Persia that we may expect to
see the peace of Europe broken, and the
conflict renewed between two of the
greatest Powers.—Nat. Int.

Through the politeness of Capt. En-
dicott, of the ship George, arrived at this

PERSIA.
“We understand, says the Editor of the
Bombay Gazette, by a letter from the
Gulf, of a recent date, that a Persian
Chief, named Monstapha Khan, brother
in-law to the King ofPersia, at the head
of six thousand troops, was marching to
wards Triflees, (in Ganiah,) and meeting
an encampment by the way, approached
it, in order to reconnoitre and pillage it
if deserted; no sooner had he entered
it however, than suddenly a troop of Rus
sians sallied forth from different directions
and put to the sword the whole of the ar
my, with the exception of the leader and
a few followers who narrowly escaped and
took refuge at the head quarters of Abbas
Meerza, who at the same time was enga
ged in battle with the inhabitants of
Shoosli, (a city in Armenia.,) The Rus
sian troops closely pursuing the enemy,
met the grand army of Abbas Meerza, and
fought them with great slaughter, in such
a manner that Abbas Meerza was obliged
to ask an immediate succor of the troops
that were stationed'at Ganjah, who imme
diately came to the assistance of the
Prince Royal. The Persians at last giv
ing wav to the conqueror, dispersed, and
Abbas Meerza, after leaving the enemy
sole master of his garrison and twenty
pieces of cannon, made his escape. The
Russians finding the city of Ganjah whol
all able to read, the undertaking will pro
bably succeed, and if well conducted, may
not only be very useful to them, but con
tribute greatly to afford to Europeans a
much more accurate knowledge of that
people than they atpresent possess.”

under the plea of the jjener:} issue.
In the case of the Earl of Leicester vs.
Walter, 2 Comp. Rep. 251, which was an
action for a libel, this evidence of suspi
cion and report was received ; and if such
evidence can be received in an action for
written slander, which presupposes more
deliberation and malice, it mav with much
more propriety be received in an ‘action
for words spoken. In the case of
vs. Moore, in 1 Maul & Selwvn 2S5,
which was an action for verbal slander,
Lord Ellenboroueh recognizes and adopts
the doctrine laid down in the Earl of Lei
cester vs. Walter. This doctrine is not
new to the Courts of this day, but is re
cognized in Peake, Philips, and the other
treatises on evidence ; and indeed if we
lay aside the English books, and resort to
the decisions of the Courts of our own
country, we there find the English doc
trine adopted without a single exception.

nothing, and on the trial offered evidence
to prove this fact. But the plaintiff ob
jected to this evidence because it could
not be admitted under the plea, in as much
as the defendant had not “ plainly and
distinctly set forth the cause and points of
his defence,” - as required b.y law<and-the
rule of Court. The; defendant replied,
that according to the practice of this
Caurt, at the time the plea was filed, such
evidence was admissible, and actually was
admitted" upon the first trial before the
petit jury.
By the Couht.—Accordipgto law and
the present practice of this Court, the evi
dence is not admissible under this plea;
but as it was admissible when the plea tvus
filed, and actually was admitted on the
first trial, the defendant may amend his
plea instanter, and if the plaintiff is sur
prised thereby and not ready for trial,
bloodshed.”
Letter accounts from Bombay, given in
the Indian Gazette, offer the tollowiug
confirmation of this account;
“ A despatch from our resident in Per
sia, came in this moruing, announcing the
total defeat of the grand Persian army
by the Russian General Helmadoff, with
z. force of ten thousand men, and that he
had employed his artillery alone, making
his adversaries scamper off with grear loss
and slaughter. He is expected soon to be
at Tabriz, and General Yermaloff has got
as far as Tehran, No doubt was enter
tained but the Russians would overrun
Persia; the consequence, it is not easy to
fortel, but the correctness of the above may
be depended upon.”
