broker to the Attorney General to file such an ex parte information proceeding should be confined to libels of so dangerous a nature as to call for immediate impression in the State.
The officers of the Criminal Court, in my opinion, would not grant information at the instance of W.F. Robinson unless there is nothing to show that private persons, by action or criminal prosecution, would be sufficient to meet the case.
There are other possible ways of prosecuting.
1. Movement for prosecution.
2. No prosecution by Mr. Price himself.
3. Mr. Price might bring an action for damages.
As to the latter course, I doubt whether it is a question of expense. I do not think that it is a necessary part of the duties of the Government to institute prosecutions for libel to vindicate the character of its officers. It is legally competent for the government to prosecute accordingly.
Even officers, in their own view, do not think that the government is bound to institute a government prosecution.
