At the opening of the court at Towson-
town, on Wednesday, Hon. James D. Wat
tiers, who was presiding, delivered charge
to the grand jury in the matter OF the libel
GUS attacks upon Hon. David Fowler, one OF
the associate judges of the circuit, which
have appeared from time to time during the
last year, in The Peoples Voice, published al
Towsontown by VIM. II. RNsardson, OF
"Billy Barlow"
Judge Waters defined, in general terms
libel to be anything written or printed cal.
culated or intended to injure the reputation
of another or hold him up 10 contempt OF
ridcule. 1t may, he said, be frivolous, but
if calculated to produce the result it is libel
He adverted to the duty of the State to pro.
tect its citizens, and especially its servants,
from assaults upon their reputation as well
as from assaults upon their character and
added:
ut is not, am sure, necessary for me TO call
your attention to the distinction to be main
tanned between free press and a licentious
press. Neitaer the State nor an individual has
any right to object to any honest criticism of a
public official. 10 use the words of a learned
English judge, it is lawful, wittsdecency and
candor, to discuss the verdict of jury or the
decisions of judge;' but, as he goes on to say
In substance, if publication contains no rea-
soning or discussion, but only defamation and
invective, and was written not with view to
elucidate the truth, but to injure the character
of individuals, and to bring into hatred and
contempt the administration of justice in the
country, it is libelous.
at is not my place to characterize in any
way tie articles which will be submitted to you
for your judgment; it will be your duty to read
those articles as men of common understanding
and then Say what meaning they convey to your
minds; whether they constitute an honest, de.
cent and candid criticism of official action or
whether they evince a malicious heart bent on
inficting pain and modification on the person
assailed and intending to degrade him in the
eyes of his fellow-men, and to bring the admin
istration of justice in this court into contempt.
Now, gentlemen of the grand jury, l charge
you, under the solemn oath in virtue of which
you are constituted the grand inquest of the
State of Maryland in and for Baltimore county,
that you shall diligently inquire into this mat.
ter and present to this court here the truth as
you shall find it.'

can not be tempered with on the route Tue
first to engage In this business In the neigh
borhood named was Mr. B. F. Darbie, who has
herd of Jerseys and supplies families in Balti-
more regularly every day with unadulterated
milk. Mr.. Darbie's enterprise Is meeting with
encouragement. few days ago he received
unsolicited, gratifying testimonial from DR..
Albert B. Lyman, prominent physician Of Bal
timore, praising the purity, sweetness and ex-
cellent quality of the milk from Clermout Dairy
Farm. Mr. John j. GLADDEN., of the same neigh
borhood, is also sending Theoretically sealed
milk to the city, and Others, also, will doubtless
