things were expected, and who was not out 6 (hurt) in the neat
innings of Cambs., could not go in, owing to his injured hand being
much worse. Carpenter's &bee had also much to do with his

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—JUNE 20.
After term NW Prius sittings at Westminster.—(Before
the Lord Chief Justice and • Special Jury.)
118 K ALLAN V. JOILNITDNE AND OTHERS.

After orirrowrt left on Saturday,
The Lord Chief Justice, in summing up, said it was
out of the question to suppose that papers like the
Standard were actuated by malicious or improper motives
in discussing questions of great public interest. There
was no evidence of negligence in producing the reports
from the Independanee !kir., and the question was whether
sufficient care and consideration had been taken in writing
the articles. And then came the question whether, in the
words of the statute. there bad been a full apology, which
means a practically full apology; SA Lu thought so far as
the page in which it was umereart tit the Evening Standard
was objected to by the pilititiff, there was no ground
for it. Giving the Stainlard credit for that high character
it had a right to from the manner in which it was con-
ducted, they had not been happy in the mode they had
adopted in wording the apology. The articles were
conceived in a good and sober spirit, and there was
nothing in them of which one who took an interest in
them need be ushamed.
Thu jury, after being locked up one hour and 20
minutes, returned into court with a verdict for the defen-
dants, the apology being amply sufficient.

TZATXAN V. PRICE.
In the course of Saturday's proceedings Ile plaintiff
went into the witness-box and gave evirleani. Ifrs
said that he separated from his wife first two lIIWA
after niarriage, in consequence of her stating Se
that she had been eoducod by witness's own brother.
She frequently afterwards made similar charges against
herself. The witness proceeded to state the steps that
he had taken in the Divorce Court, and the grounds
upon which he had proceeded.
The Lord Chief Justice said that he was utter at a
loss to see what application this evidence had to the issue
the jury had to try.
The jury intimated that they had made up their minds.
The plaintiff said that under these circumstances it was
useless to go on, and he would elect to be nonsuited.
The jury said that they would bo glad to hear any evi-
dence against Mr. Price.
The plaintiff observed that the charges against himself
were utterly untrue.
The Lord Chief Justice : But the jury could not try the
question whether the observations of Mr. Price were justi-
fied or not. In the interests of justice a counsel was
abundantly protected so long as ho did not act from
malice or indirect motive.
The plaintiff said that his sole object in bringing the
action was to give the other aide an opportunity of saying
the charges were true ; he know they were utterly false.
He wished to add that the reason of his losing one of the
salts in the Divorce Court was that Dr. Dempsey had ab-
sconded. . .

Thr Lord Chief Justice said that it seemed to him that
Mr. Prices observationswere pertinentto theissue ; and in
mahing such observation, counsel was allowed the fullest
latitude, provided he did not act from private malice.
The plaintiff said that as he was not allowed to go into
his own bona fides, he would elect to be nonsuited.
A ponsvit was then entered.
