His Statements About Mrs. Hopkins Hotel
Lease Lost Her Purchaser.
CLAIMED SHE HIRED BY MONTH.
Count Holds That Jury Was Justified In Finding
Defendants Statements Knowingly False and
Malicious damages Not Clearly Excessive.

This morning the opinion of the APP
pellate Court on the defendants petit
tion for a new trial in the slander of
title case of Mary A. Hopkins, formerly
proprietor of the Central hotel, against
the agent of the owners Of the building
Christopher X. browne, was handed
down. The court sustains the verdict
of $4,000 given by jury in favor OF Mrs.
Hopkins.
Mrs. Hopkins advertised her hotel
business for sale and received some
very advantageous offers for the same,
but these offers came to naught, owing
to the insistence of Mr.. browne that
she was but a monthly tenant. Mr..
browne was alleged to have told Geo.
w. Rose that Mrs. Hopkins was not a
yearly tenant of the Central hotel, but
only q monthly tenant, and that there
was no need of dealing with her. Sim
liar statements, IL is claimed, were
made TO other parties. one OF the par
ties, who made an arrangement with
Mr.. browne about the purchase or the
hotel, applied for a liquor license at
the same, though the hotel had been
run as a temperance hotel for 32 years.
After a. careful review OF the effect
and manner of malice in a legal sense,
Mr.. Justice Tillinghast, who writes the
opinion, reviews the testimony at
length and then says: Upon careiul
consideration OF all the testimony In
the case, we are unable to say that the
Jury were not warranted in finding that
the defendants statement as TO PLAIN
tiff's title in the premises was know
ingly false and malicious. We do not
think the damages are so clearly ex-
cessive as to warrant the interference
of the court. Several responsible VIII
nesses testified that they were ready
and willing to give S3700 for the PLAIN
tiff's interest in the premises, including
the furniture, fixtures and good VIII,
and the evidence shows that, so far as
the furniture and fixtures were con-
cerned, they were of little value over
and above the mortgage thereon, so
that it was evident that the offers were
practically made for the plaintif1s un-
| expired term as lessee of the hotel to-
pether with the good will of the place.
There Is also evidence that after the
| statements made by the defendant, as
| aforesaid. and after Ii became known
| that a license for the sale OF intoNicat-
| ing liauor at said place had been ap-
! nlied for by Mr.. Reed, who had OBJ

done rapidly fell off, her customers get

"In addition to the actual damages
