Of private letters was recently decided in
New York. Some time In 1883, Rev.
VIM. Crowcll Of 81. Louis, wrote q private,
unofficial letter. to Rev. DR.. Bahcock Of
New York. requesting favor, and also ma
king humorous personal allusion, entirely
harmless in private letter. DR. Gabcock

read tho letter. and replied TO il, making
somo comments In n term Of pleasantly, mp.
On the allusion in Mr.. Crowcll's letter"
The editor of tho New York Chronicle,
Rev. o. n Judd, surrrptitiously obtained
copies Of thcsc letters, and threatened 10
publish them. Tho question arose, wheth-
er the law allowed the publication Of Pri-
vatc letters Mr. .Wcolscy, 20 settle thi.
question, commenced an action against Mr.
Judd. demanding that an injunction should
D. ,lecrccl against their publication. Mr.
Crowcll in tho meantime wrote letter, de-
clarinr that Mr.. Judd was welcome to pub
li.h his letter, stating a; The same time, that
it was both private and stolen. Mr. Judd
cho-r to suspend tho publication till the
court had settled the case and now, aflor
two years delay, tho decision q the cour;
l., perpetual injunction, restraining the
publication of private letters. The judy.
mcnt in this casc therefore shows, that tho
