PULPIT sLASDER.
An interesting case, decided in the Irish Com
mon Pleas. is reported in recent u1Itpber OF
the ALBANY La1 Jour'"a, bearing upon the qucs-
ton how lar words spoken By 4 clergyman from
the pulpit arr to he deemed privileged in the
sense Of e1cmpting him from any civil liability
Tor their utterance. In this case Roman Gath
olie parish priest had used III his pulpit the fol-
lowing language in respect to one Of his
parlshioners:
Let TO man. woman, or child keep his company,
nor talk to him aud il he comes into any town
land tie kettle to him, Us tho people used to do
money to spend: l. bis mother foolish enough to
III go To his mother 10 make him leave the coun-
Try. AID. II not, III 60 the landlord 10 make him
90 80.
The parishioner saw fit 10 bring his priest
oelore 2 court Of Justice for this kind Of pnlpit
rhetoric. The priest. in answer to the charge,
told the court " thai At the time Of speaking the
words lie was performing his duties US clergy
man in the presence of his assembled parishlon-
ers. anu that he, uttered the words iu goud
faith, believing them to be true and for the sole
purpose of rcbuking sin anG preventing =
rcpetition OF the acts complained Of" lie
c'amcd, in view OF his functions as 4
priest, that his words were privileged and
that he WAS not a1nenabie to the Law lor us1n:r
them. The court, however, held that the priest
WAS mistaken i'll the preTosasives Of his office,
and that slandeTous language OH the lips o: u
clergyman in the pulpit, even though spoken in
rood faith and for conlnendable purpose, is
entitled to no immunity as 4 privileged utter
aucc. - I ann Of opinion," said Judge Lawson,
1t that neither from pulpit nor altar ean slandcr
tc uttered; and, If it is, the person who docs SO
must Justify its truth or be prepared to take
The consequences
