MX 81. JUNE D.
Libei-The People vs.. Mhloch, a lawyer by pro-
fesson, indicted for wicked and malicious Libel
The whole Of the day occupied in listening to
the summing up Of this case, BY the defendant and
ms Counsel, on one side, ana the District Attorney
on the part of the prosecution.
The Court in charging the Jury, went over the
old ground, and delivered some very common place
cautions respecting the Jsry being the judges Of the
law and the facts and in admitting their perfect right
to such judgment took to clog it by telling the
jury that they must not merge the duty OF Judges IN
the province oflegislators.
The Coart then defined to the Jury the difference
between a libel and slander-one being words
spoken to third person, and the other matter prin-
ted for dissemination before q whole community.
In the present case said his Honor, the defendant
indicted the author, and it was not pretended
that he had written the libel himself Now, to make
man thus responsible, he must have dictated IL
whilst another wrote ir, OF he must have author.
Used another to write 1t, or have authorised
its publication after it had been written In this case
there is no variation between the libel printed and
the set forth in the indictment. Now the
only question for the Jury is this-whether Muoch
comes under either of these definitions II is not
pretended that he wrote it, but that he dictated the
whole or part and authorised the witness, Bartlett
to write the remainder. On this point the Court re-
fers the Jury to the evidence of DIR. Bartlett, which
is as follows. Here the Court read the testimony
of Mr.. Bartlett,l Now, on this testimony the Jury
will find Muloch either guilty or not guilty, as the
law considers every mans motives to be bad,
if he causes to be published that which is in any
way untrue. 1.-THE jury should be Of opinion that
Muloch is not the author fthc whole of the libel,
why he be convicted, unless they should also
be Of opinion that he authorised Bartlett to write the
remainder fthe paper containing the pencil marks
alone had been published and they should have con-
tanned libellous matter, why beyond doubt Muloch
must be deemed guilty, but as the case stands at
the Jury must be satisfied that Bartlett act
ed with Muoch's consent or by his knowledge The
Court does conceive that it necessary for the
libel have been read to Muloch, provided he
authorised Bartlett to write it, and that person did
not go beyond the authority delegated to him
His Homer made few other general remarks, and
then directed the Jury retire to consider OF their
verdict.
The Jury at ten o'clock returned the following
lished in the Sun, as charged inthe indictment.
The Court then adiourned.
