Pennsylvasia Law Of Libel.
Judge Allison, in charging tho jury in the
ReadiDS Eagle libel suit, said: Can an ar.
tcle containing the foulest aspersions upon
the character of citizen be considered
proper for public information, even if all
the charges contained in the article were
true! 1t might be. then, questioned whether
sncs private matters were proper ior public
information.
This being admitted by a false article in
fhe constitution relating TO privileged pub
locations, had no application TO the present
case. The question, then. reyertstO whether
defendants had published a malicious libel.
They were to judge OF malice from the
paper itself. and not to seek fOr any eX-
pressed malice: they must judge whether
the article was calculated 20 hold Mr.. Ross
up 10 ridcule. odium or disgrace, and he
instructed them that the law in GbelOus
publication presumed malice. il it is proved
that the publisher meant to do what he
did do.
The old law is not affected at all by the
new constitution in its application to a case
| OF this kind, and defendants were entitled
| to prove the truth OF il: but they must
| stand or tall upon the defense they select.
The defense set up want OF actual or legal
motive. 1t seems that neither OF the de-
fendants knew anything about the article
until afterward.
The jury, after being ont few minutes.
returned with verdict OF guilty.
