CIRCUIT CoU T-JUDGE MCLAUGaLIN
PREsIDING.-Monday morning the Judge de-
liyered his opinion on the demurrer of the de.
PENDANTS to the plaintiffs, charges in the case
of Charles L. Cooke VS.. The Valley Mutual Life
Insurance Company. AS heretofore stat ted this
is an action technically called an action for
libel-that is to say in respect to matters either
written or printed by the defendant respecting
the plaintiff, which is alleged by the plaintiff
to be Injurious TO his reputation and character
as an individual, and also as an insurance busi-
ness man.
The Court held that the matters covered by
the first six counts of the declaration coupled
with the inuendos connected Herewith on
their face were OF libelous character-thers-
fore the demurrer as to them was overruled
and the matter thus involved must be tried by
a jury. AS to the alleged libel covered by the
seventh and eighth counts, the court was of
opinion that the matters set out in these counts
did not reflect upon the integrity ami charac
ter of Mr.. Cooke. therefore were not actionable
as libelous matter, and for this reason the
demurrer was sustained as to them. The mat
tiers supposed to be Involved in these counts
will therefore drop out of the case. Monday,
3lst instant was set for the trial of the cause,
and special jury ordered for it,
