To Relieve Newspapers.

An effort is at last to be made to
relieve the newspapers of England
from some of the evils they suffer un-
der the present law of libel. Besides
having to pay many claims of a black
mailing character. invariably when a
newspaper defends an action for libel
the jury gives the claimant heavy
damages, very often against the ad-
vice of the Judge. To avoid this Sir
George Toulmin has introduced a bill
in the House of Commons, which pro-
vides that If judge is satisfied that
the alleged libel is trivial, and that
the words complained of have been
published i'm good faith, he may stay
all proceedings. unless the plaintiff
gives security for the defendants
costs.
other provisions of the bill are that
fair and accurate reports of public
proceedings i'm court and the
finding of the courts. although the
finding be subsequently varied. and
any fair and bona fide comment there
on, shall be privileged At present a
paper cannot comment on any verdict
until II has reached the final court, by
which time in many cases. all public
interest In the matter has been lost.
