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. Monarchy. Should the Russians reach our frontiers, as the Cossacks have but an nndefined idea, we believed, of right and wrong, and stimulated perhaps by success they may encroach and give rise to mea sures on our part,” It has been pro posed to establish a new paper at Malacca in the Chinese language, in which the la test news from’ China will be inserted.— The Calcutta papers say that, consider ing the number of Chinese now resident in the three settlements ofPinang, Malacca But all objections to the competency of; and Singapore, and that they are almost 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. Wit,pe, Walker, Glasscock, for the plaintiff. Flournoy-, King, for the defendant. 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.

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. FROM CALCUTTA. Salem, May 25. Through the politeness of Capt. En- dicott, of the ship George, arrived at this port, we have received copious files of the India Gazette,and the Bengal Hurkaru, to the 27th January. 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.” The Partnership here- ' tofore subsisting between the Subscribers, under the firm of A. k J.

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. n , whom the de fendaut alleged was unsound and worth I L v deserted, entered it without the least P . - , . . LI 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.” The editor of the Gazette says, “ the result, We fear, is likely to prove disas trous to the independence of the Persian To Fortunate Drawers in the late Land Lottery.
