Case 36.
Shire and King, 45 Eliz. B. R. The Action was brought by an Attor∣ny for these words, Thou art a Paltry Fellow, and thy credit is fallen. for thou dealest on both sides, and doest deceive many that trust thee. And upon error brought, it was affirmed, that the words were actionable, and shall be taken in Malam partem, for they sound to no other purpose, and yet he may be on both sides as an Arbytrator. Yelvertons Rep. 32.
