LIBEL SUIT DECIDED. In the Superior
Court yesterday, Judge Storer } the case oil
Geurge White VS.. NJ. ID. Potter & CO., was
decided in favor OF the defendants. In
January, 1854, the Commercial published a
report that plaintiff had failed, which report
proved to be incorrect, and was contradIcted
py the Commercial; but plaintiff contehded
Ahat his business was injured, and his failure,
Mhich occurred nine months thereafter,
sas caused by that report. On the part OF
lhe defence it was shown that the report
sas current, here and in New York, before
Pts publications; that the publication was not
p malicious one, &c, and it also appeared
that plaintiff debts were increased largely
Between the date of the report OF his failure
And that of his actual failure, and it there
Wore followed that his credit could not have
Sbeen injured by the publication The Jury
