Some Account of the Proceedings at Westminster-Hall, on Thursday, June 8, on the Trial of Lord Sandwich, against Mr. Miller.

Ο

N Thurfday morning, exactly at nine o'clock, came on in the Court of King's-Bench, the long-depending action brought by Lord Sandwich against Mr. Miller, Printer of the London Evening-Poft. The action was brought for Scandalum Magnatum, and the damages in the noble plaintiff's declaration were laid at ten thousand pounds. The ground of complaint was as follows:

On the 2d of February last, a letter under the fignature of Alfred appeared in the London EveningPoft, charging Lord Sandwich with corruption in the difpofal of certain places within his department as first Lord of the Admiralty. In particular, the letter-writer charged the noble lord with having expofed the office of a commiffioner of the navy to fale, for the fum of two thousand pounds; and Alfred further infifted, that Lord Sandwich had employed one Henry Corte as his agent to negociate the affair.

Thus flood the plaintiff's matter of complaint.

The defendant in his plea put himfelt upon his country to prove the truth of the charge.

Mr. Buller, one of the plaintiff's counfel, opened the caufe; and touched upon the atrociousness of the crime.

The Attorney-General next took up the matter, upon more enlarged grounds. He stated the important nature of the charge; afferted, that if true, it would have operated to the utter ruin of the noble Lord: and if falfe, was a fpecies of atrocious defamation, which ought to be punished with the utmoft feverity.

That the charge could not be true, the Attorney-General ftrongly infifted upon, both from the known public virtue of Lord Sandwich, and the imputation of folly which fuch tranfaction would faften upon his Lordship. To the public virtue of Lord Sandwich, to his honour, his integrity, and his rectitude to all thefe good qualities, the AttorneyGeneral bore testimony.

That fuppofing the charge true, would be to impute folly in the extreme to Lord Sandwich; this the Attorney-General endeavoured to prove, by declaiming on the abfurdity of the conduct laid to the noble Lord's charge. That he fhould entrust a ftranger [Mr. Corte] with his fame, his reputation, and his honour; that he should empower this ftranger to barter all with another ftranger, for the paltry

inadequate
