We notice in our report of the charge OF Judge
Oakley, of the Superior Court, yesterday, IN
case Of prosecution for libel published in City

"shoud merely say that there is q rumor abroad

naming him, had Issued stock illegally, and a'-
,conded, they would be eIonerated, the fact
existing that there vas such rumor, although
"pot true" If such 10 the Judges railing. aad
it .hould become general, the Law Of libel
would be brought back to its evidently
proper place, as protection against publica-
ton, made with intent to do personal injury.
Such malicious acts should be severely punished;
but a great proportion Of the hbel-suita now
brought do not even attemp. to prove malice,
since the parties prosecuted are often mere copy
lists, and know nothing whatever OF th'se who
pretend to have been injured from ten to fifty
thousand dolsrs' worth, and who often show too
plainly which side the malice is really on,
BY refusing all satisfaction except in
verdict of exemplary damages. Piblics-
tioDs that may do individuals d,msge, GER
tany oaght to have the justification OF truth and
public benefit on the part Of the originator; but
when a thing is commonly spoken Of in streets
and business places and is matter concerning
public interests, it il rather hard TO pitch upon
the frst Itor who prints it as q slanderer, when
be has not the remOtest interest In it, and is, per-
bsps, the ten thoussndlh man who has told the
same story being no more guilty Of falsebood
than ally Of the others. except the one who
started it. In the case referred TO sealed YER
dict was given, to be opened to-day.

Early yesterday morning a very extensive fire
occurred in Broadway, near Grand-st., destroying
Tire City Assembly Rooms, the old Olympic Thea
ter. and several stores and houses. The FIRE broke
out in the Assembly Rooms, while ball was in
progress. The CONSERVATION was fearful, but all
the guests escaped without serious damage. We re-
sret to be obliged to record the death of smother of
our brave, selfsacrif ,Dg fpemen-a life worth
thousand times more than all the property des.
troyed. policeman, and we believe some other
persons were seriously Injured. The nighewas
intensely cold, and the time being but three days
later in the month than the great fire of 1885,
many persons who recalled that terrible disaster
were apprebensive Of another confagration not
less extensive. We give very fall report on
another page.
