Biddeford Journal: The first tea drank
in Maine was made on Cults island, Kit
terry, about 10 years ago. A daughter
of Major Cults was returning from school
in Massachusetts with "a daughter of Gov.
Vaughan. A severe storm detained her at
the Governors house at Portsmouth sew
eral days, and at the Governors table she
was first offered tea. The young lady
followed Mrs Vaughan's example. and,
adding sugar and cream. carried it to her
lips. She afterwards purchased a pound
of tea for guinea. sent to Boston for cups
and saucers, and thus introduced the first
tea and tea set into Maine.

LEGATION which these defendants had a

right to make, is easy. They had right,
with honest motives, in good faith, to
publish what they believed 60 be the truth
if they had probable grounds to believe
it. They were not obliged to be absolute
ly certain of it. If they honestly be-
licved 1t to be true and had good and
sufficient grounds for believing it to be

"Now you see the important bearing
which the motive of Mr.. Bass holds in the
matter. While 1 say to you that he had
a right to publish the article in question if
he did 1t in good faith, without malice,
honestly believing the charges were true,
and having reasonable grounds for be
lieving that they were true, and that this
would be justification or excuse in pub
fishing the article, / say to you ON the
other hand that he had no right, no privi-
lege either as an editor, or as citizen,
OF as a taxpayer of Bangor, to publish
knowingly falsity. While he had a
right to publish the truth and, even
further than that, to publish what he
honestly believed to be true, if his motives
were not malicious or corrupt, he had no
right to publish what was not true know
ingIy. The line is perfectly plain. 1t is
directly beween an honest publicati on
believed to be true, the belief being found
ed on probable cause, and wilful ma
licious publication, made public through
bad motives, knowing that it was false.
If man makes a publication knowing it
to be false, which is injurious to another S
business reputation the law implies ma
lice. No evidence other than the article
itself is needed to prove it, because every
one is supposed to intend the natural con.
sequences of his action.
