Rignts of the Press.

In recent libel suit IN Rhode Island a
Chief Justice, in his charge to the jury,
laid down the law on the rights of the press
as follows:-I think that the public news
paper has the right to comment upon and
criticise in the discharge Of public duties.
think that if the publishers discover what
they consider 60 be defects they have \
right to point them out. Ii there are facts
which su. .ggest fault l think that the public
press has ID right to criJicise AMI to censure
II in the exercise of this freedom of
comment they act fairly, and honestly. aud
meaning TO do what is right, they cannot be
held accountable. 1t is of great Importance
to the public that the newspapers should
have this liberty. II there should be none
to censure or to criticise, frauds would grow
more and more intolerable, to the manifest
peril of the public welfare, and therefore,
you can see that the public have great in
teres; in maintaining unshackled the right
of the public press to freely and fairly crit
icise.
