valence of this conviction the columns of the Press, and of your issue in particular, are too often permitted to be made the vehicle for privato sarcasm, invective and abuse, while it should be remembered that those whie not with more taste and avoid resorting to such objectionable means to further pri- vate malice, are necessarily debarred from making a publio retort on their adversaries, unless the abuse of the public ear conveys so marked an imputation on the public or private character of the person attacked, as to justify a prosecution for a public and ma- Hoione libel.
But to return to the cass already specified, the criticism of my remarks, and my motives, when concluding the case of Warnecke v. Marcal, it had and could have no possible connection with the case of assault on Bir Anderson, and in which I figured as the defendant; the real merits or demerits in that case are happily known and sufficiently appreciated within the limited circle of respectability existing at Amoy, but I nevertheless must take excep- tion to the obviously malicious and covert attack attempted to be made upon my pri- vate character, by a side reference to this case, while ostensibly professing to merely criticise may proceedings when asting in my Chang Aban, master of the Wo Sing rice public capacity of Coneal in my own Court, shop 148 Wing Lok Street; Lam Lai Kam, convened under proper and sufficient autho- master of the Kwai Man" Hong 31rity six months anterior to the occurrence Fraya West; and Chan Anara, master of of hir Anderson's affair and to which allu- the Nam Sing shop 37 Praya West; using sion is maliciously and wantonly made. the public streets as warehouses.
