Barnem. editor Of the Herald of Freedom. against Alfred R. Knapp No attempt, as we learn by gentleman from there, was made by the editor to subsaniiaie his accusations against Mr. K but in order to mitigate damages, proved that he had norgage all his estate, and unable io pay heavy damages. The jury, probably taking these circumstances into consideration found ver- diet of only $25-amp.y sufficient to show their de- ,essation of the character of the iiLeller.
