The Attorney-General, in addressing the jury i for the defence, said that the cross-examination of the plaintiff himself showed that he had gone through the country holding meetings, attacking the Monarchy, and endearonring to get the poo ple to set ap a Republic. He had called the Queen a "puppet," and said that the Prince of Wales should not succeed to the throne" with. out a protest." He added that Mr. Odger had suffered in no way whatever by the attuale of the Figaro upon him-be who went about the country setting class aguinat class, and making people dissatisfied with one another. (Sep *pressed applause.) It was absurd to found an nction of libel upon s panigraph in a column of jokos; and be submitted that the jury would be satisfied, considering the life which Mr. Odger had led, in saying that he had no bai ness to bring this action, and that the verdict. ought to be for the defendant,fpplans.)
