IT WAS ISLANDER.
A Judgment Sustained by the Su-
preme Court.
DON'T Call Man Thief, Unless Yor
Are Ready TO Prove Your
Case In Court.

The case of Smullen VS.. Phillips, ap-
pellant. appealed from Butte County, was
decided yesterday by the Supreme Court.
The appeal was from an order granting
the plaintiffs motion for new trial.
The action was for slander, and the
words charged in the original complaint
as having been spoken by Phillips at the
time and place alleged were as follows:
HE is thief.'' At the trial the witnesses
for the plaintiff testified that the words
used by the defendant were, "That thiev-
ing ---! He stole $500
from me, and can prove it."
This testimony was, on motion, strick-
en- out, on the ground of variance; and
the plaintiff, after excepting to the ruling
of the court, moved for and obtained
leave to amend his complaint by insert
ing the words of the witness in lieu of
those originally employed.
The defendant, in his answer, specific
ally denies the material allegations of the
amended complaint, and among other
matters of defense AYERS that the alleged
cause of action set out therein is barred
by the provisions of Subdivision of
Section $40 of the Code of Civil Proceed
ure.
The trial was proceeded with by the
plaintiff recalling his witness and pro-
pounding to him the following question:
state the language used by defendant
Phillips at his store OH November 6, 1888,
IN the presence Of yourself and Others
of and concerning the plaintiff Smullen." !"
Counsel for the defendant objected to
the introduction of any evidence in sup
port of the cause of action set out in the
amended complaint, on the ground that
the cause of action thus set out was barred
by the section of the Code of Civil Pro-
cedure, aforementioned.
The objection was sustained, and the
plaintiff, after excepting to the ruling of
the court rested his case. The court,
upon motion, then instructed the Jury to
find verdict for the defendant, which
they accordingly did, and judgment was
entered thereon in favor of the defendant.
The Supreme Court says: 1.-The scan
dalous words laid in the original COM
plant are not qualified nor altered in
their sense or meaning by those proved
to have been used by the defendant. The
former are clearly embraced in the latter,
and both substantially charge that the
plaintiff is thief AS the cause of action
is the same, it is evident that the object
and effect of the amended complaint was
simply to obviate variance by conform
ing the allegations thereof to the proof
1.-The action was commenced within the
meaning of the statute, when the original
| complaint was filed, and it follows that
the amended complaint relates to the
commencement of the action; and as the
original complaint shows on it's face that
the cause of action therein stated was not
barred by the statute of limitation at the
time it was brought, it follows that the
new trial was properly granted by the
court below, on the ground stated in
the order. The order appealed from is
affirmed"
