rRIVILEGED COMMUNICATIONS AMI
THE PRESS.


L. J. Hamilton, a newspaper reporter
on a Georgia daily, has bccn compcled
to serve a short Jail sentence because
he refused TO divulgc the source of
information obtained by him for his
paper in the course of his duty as !.
reporter. The case was decided against
the reporter in the lower court. was
appealed and affirmed by the Georgia
appellate court. the opinion being de-
ltvercd by Mr.. Justice Lumpllin. who
said. In part:
If q reporter OF a newspaper is
summoned TO testify before {; court Of
contempt jurisdiction, and is asked az

Information in regard to certain facts

reserved this Information under a
promise that he would not divulre thc
name of his informant, that "a ~ co
would subject him to ridicule and con
tempt and that it would cause him ~
lose his position as q newspaper rc
porter.
Doubtless there arc sufficient pre-
ccdents Tor such decision but It must
be said. with due respect that tho
judgment OF the court seems neither
logical nor just. Why the case Of tho
reporter is not analogous TO that Of
