Hanson Cook u.s. The Hon. Isaac HH-Libel Case.
This cause was resumed shs morning, and some fur
th.r tesimony given on behalf OF the plaintiff after
which dtfeB dants counsel asked for nonsuit on the
ground that the memorial which the action was
founded was privileged communication addressed to
the Postmaster General. The learned council vent
to ray that by the Of Congress 1925 and ls45
the Postma General had very extensive powers
fIred on him He was authorized by them te take she
charge and control Of all contractors To make con-
tracts and to superve their accounts He ts also au-
thorzd to supervise the auditor appointed by the act
Of 1916 for auditing the accounts OF the various per-
cons connected with the Post-offcs Department. Tie
referred to those laws &c show that the Postmaster Ge-
neral exercised control over all the nts OF the
post Office, and psrtic uarly contractors and
TO decide upon the validity II bids and that per-
who felt himself sggreved, had right to invoke
his authority and claim redress. Governor Hill had
done more; the court would see, BY the evidence
produced by the plaintiffs themselves, that he had
good resron TO suppose that there wa, connivsnoe

similarity in the handwriting between the bid of plain

and appearing to be mailed at Pbiladephis or some
Z he Postmaster General desires him to put his
plant in writing and he would order an investigation
The memorial was accordingly presented, and NO
one ever saw 1t except the Postmaster and
his officers, until the invsstgAtion was made
in New York. And here let add, that this
investigation was had only in prosecution OF MIR Hills
rights and sanctioned by the Postmaster General
