The fact is that many OF the ruIals le tns COUNTY

extincuished by the bill, and that their place viii be
taken by Paris journals able to find the neees-

liberal feeling Of the Right toward the press.
A member Of that party M savary) reproached
the Government for asking for q new law when
ev did not use the powers they had TO repes sedtous
articles. ThereupOn NJ, Dufaure, who almost lost his
temper read list of about dozen papers in the
provinces prosecuted by his orders within the last month";
and convicted by ures. He admitted there many
cases OF bamable lbels which he had not thought right
to take action upon. But the that prosecu
cution would have done more harm than the libel He
could produce letters from Generals who had entreated
him not to prosecute. In one case paper with crcu-
atOn OF only 300 and whose editor was universally
despiSed had written a5Omnabe article. He had let
him alone because he would not give him the publicity
which he wanted. Again, when a newspaper against
which a prosecution was instituted continued to write
beOus articles, lie did not commence fresh prosecu-
ton every day, but produced the articles before the
Court and jury as evidence in aggravatOn.

populated towns COCO francs. But at the last moment
amendme ut by VI. Emile Leroux reducing these sums
to COCO francs and 1890 francs was supported by NJ
Picard, who said in few words, that the amendment
had the advantage of orrsponding with the legislation
