Libel Law Of Australia.

The libel law of Australia is the
queerest in the world. He who is
sued for libel there must not on
ly prove that the accusations he
published were true but also that
to publish them was for the public
benefit. Elsewhere the truth of
the accusation alone needs to be
proved. An Australian sheeprais-
er-explained this queer libel law at
a wool sale. Australia was prac-
tically colonized by convicts, he
said. There is no use denying
this. The colonizers of Australia
we're convicts in the main. The
descendants of these convicts are
now Australia's leading families
the richest, the most influential,
the most intelligent, the most re
spected. And yet these excellent
people were in the past at the
mercy of every editor. Let them
get into the smallest squahble or
dispute with some editor and the
man would bring them into gen
eral ridicule aud contempt by
printing their ancestry"
Occasionally you meet wise
man who looks otherwise.
