THE GOLD MARKET
was exceptionally steady. and this too, In the
face OF large explorations OF coin which were cal
cuated to stimulate the adventurous spirits who
have been wont to bull the market whenever such
golden opportunities nave occurred. There is ap-
parently, however, the same want OF faith In the
gold room that we have been obliged to record In
the Stock Board, which, added to poverty, makes
operators very willing to get on shore and among
the breakers. The following were the fluctuations
OF the week.

ESPECIAL DISPATCHES TO THE dALhlA S'
The TtltOn.Beecher Scanda'.

New YORK, Aug. 3-rhe Third District
Court room, Brooklyn. was again crowded this
morning on the occasion sof the case against
Theodore Titou for libel coming up Tor the
second time. Both plaintiff and defendant
were present. After a number OF MINOR cases
had been disposed of Judge Riley read the fol-
lowing decision in this case : ln the matter
of the people vs.. Theodore Tlton | entertalo
ed tie complaint iu this case and warrant
against defendant, believing 1t to be my duly
to do so. had no knowledge OF complainant or
his position 10 the matter. Defendant was ar
rested on that warrant and appeared before me
personally and by counsel and complainant was
thus made known to me for the hrst time. Inc
COMPLAINT was not made with the knowledge or
consent of The person alleged to have been Il
beiled Now whe it is true that a libel IS
pubic otfeuce, it is also true that 1t is such Of
fence because Of the private wrong and Injury
it iuhicts upon the individual libelled. Com
pIaiuts of the kind usually originate with the
person assaied, although it is not always abso-
iutely essential that this should be so, and
many cases occur where third persons may H.
terfere without incurring odium or censure OF
any kind. AS public offence, however, con-
ssts in injury doue or threatened to an ludIVl
dual, it is hardly consistent with legal prucl-
ples to assume crime from any composition or
publication, however violent, when the persoo
therein mentioned, who is generally supposed
to be the best Judge of what attects his own
reputation, declines or omlts to prosecute there
for The person mentioned 10 the publication
complained of is a citizen of Brooklyn to whom
the courts are accessible. As to complainant
in this case be has not seen fit to make any
complaint and does not unite 10 this proSecu-
ton. have concudeded at this stage OF the
case that it is my duty to dismiss the complaint,
not because complainant did not have the ri ght
to make it, but BECAUSE the person alleged to
have been libeled does not now unite IN this
prosecution; but as may be wrong in my view
of the law | will incur no risk of error IN the
matter, shall not therefore dismiss 1t now,
but give notice that / will do so on Wednesday
morning next, at 10 o clock, to which time the
case stands adjourned, my object in thus post
poning the 6nal decision, being to afford CON-
pIainant an opportunity to apply to the Su-
preme Court for writ of maudamus to compel
me to proceed If | err in refusing 10 this
event [ shall cheertully perform whatever may
be regarded as my duty in the premises. 9th
erwise shall terminate the case as l have al
ready stated. y
When Judge Riley had flushed reading his
decision Mr. Gaynor rose and said docs
your Honor hold that under the law l have 90
right to this complaint p
The court replied that iuasmuch as he was
not supported by the party llbelled ne had pre-
pared this decision and would dismiss complaint
Wednesday next, if no other steps were taken
by complainant.
