The following decision has bssn rend-

Cont in the case Of Maria A. N. Pollard
against Jacob Lyon-Error to the Su-
nreme Court Of the District of Columbia: :
Words both false and slanderous, it is

Of tho plaintiff. and she sues in an &C.
zion on the case for SANDER to recover
damages for the injury to her name and
fame. Controversies Of the kind. IN thsif

animation. -,
Definitions of Islander will afford very
little aid in disposing Of any qusslon IN

define the difference between oral and

ary injury alleged naturally flows
from the speaking of the words st iorth
in the declaration Different dennlhon'
OF slauder are given by different com,

five classes, as follows:

punished.
.. Words falsely spoken OF a persol

proof as to ownership, resolved TO use

supply was shut off for the purpose
Of repairing the engine, when the
fire broke out, and with a strong
southwest win d prevailing, tn G
flames moved a swath SIX hundred
feet wide and mile long, destroy
ing about two hundred and fifty
houses, besides several churches,

of Chicago was also repeated in the
resistlessness of the fire, solid stone
buildings with iron shutters proving
to be no more firc-proof than the
flimsicr brick and wooden structures.
