Mr. Bryant said he did not know ; Mr. Forrest said it was incorrect, amd he wanted it corrected ; he said he did not approach the man from behind, as it waa represented in that article + he said he had ‘approuehed Mr. Willis in. front, an‘ struck a fair blow; he then wanted to know upon whose authority ‘it bad been published, and I told bim I was responsible for the article; he then turned round to me ina very ferocious way, and said there were | several things that he was going to hold me responsible for; he raid the article was a d—d lie from beginning to end; he suid he meant to attack Mr. Wills. and he believed that he bud told me so formerly; I replied that these were not juet the terms that he used, and that he told me former- ly that he meant to cut bis d—ad heart out, to which Br. Forrest muttered something in reply—I don’t know what it was distinctly; I think be said something about | what he would have done if they had not taken him off, | but I can’t recollect what it was; Iam one of tie editors of the Evening Post. Crose-examined—The conversation in Broadway con- tinved about ten minutes; I thought he had been excit- ed from that article; L was acquainted with Mr. Porvest for a long period of time; our personal relations hare been interrupted ; Mr. Forrest. was, for some time before this Cecnrtence. very much excited towards Mr. Willis and others; it was after the application of Mr. Forrest to the Legislature of Pennsylvaniz, that he mar fested this feeling towards Mr. Willis; he was greatly excited towards Mr. Willis and all those whom he cou- ceived had interfered with his domestic happiness; this asticle, to which Mr, Forrest referred, was one which Thad written, and appeared in the paper the day previous; it purports to be written from information obtained from | another person, [Article handed to witness.) I have no doubt that is the article; that article was published qa { the information ef another; I dou't know who he was; he came into the Opera House where I was. and told me; he knew me; I know his appearance; he was # gentlemanly locking man, about 28 or 3 + years of age. Counrel fer defence proposed to Tead that article, as calculated to show that it would justify and pelliate the state of feeling under which, the witness wears, Mr. For- | rest was at the time, ‘The Judge thought that the declaration had nothing to do with the article, sor had the evidence of the witness anything to do with it, j | Mr. Van Buren said, he offered it also to show the bias under which this witness testifies; we offer it as a grossly untrue statement, published. as the witness admits, on the authority of aman whom he does not know. | "The Court said these collateral matters had nothing to do with the ease, We have Mr, Forrest’s declaration that it wus untrue. if we xo into collateral matters, we shall | never get through with the case.

Van Buren objected to the right to exausine Doctor they did so now, said it was in the diseretion af the Court. Mr. Van Buren, in opening the case for the defendant, fuld that Le proposed to place the circumstances as | Te jury. Driefly as possible befe . There will be no doubt that Mr. Forrest inflicted ebastisement on Mr. Wiilis. ‘The question which they will be called on to try. under the pleadings im this case, is, whether that chastiscinent was merited by him, whether it was in- Hieted in an nousual manner, and whether the results | have been ay injurious as the plaintiff describes.
