The hearing of this action, in which the plaintiffs sought to recover $1,000 damages for libel alleged to have been published by the defendant, was resumed.
Mr. G. C. C. Master spocared for the plaintifs and Mr. 1. J. Francis, QC (instructed by Mr. Mannscy), represented the defendant.
The urymen were Messrs. W. B. Walker, S. J. Moser, and C. S. Gabbay.
Additional evidence was called and Mr. Francis then addressed the jury for the defence, referring to the statements contained in the alleged libellous document. It stated that the girl (the daughter of the plalatif), was disrespect fal and unfeeling, that the disregarded her basband and his parents, and that her bearing was improper, this being due, the document jadi-stated, to the had training she received from her parents, the plaintiffs.

Mr. Master then briefly addressed the Jury for the plaintifs.
In summing up, his Lordship said there were only two points which the jury had to consider, vis, whether the statement that had been uned concerning the plaintiff was defamatory, and if
so, was it false or true. He warned the fary not to be guided in the interpretation they put upon the words by any statement made by the defendants as to the meaning they intended to convey in publishing them. It did not matter what they intended. The jury had to consider what construction would be placed apon the words by any ressonable · person who read them.
