The reasoning, in the judgment of Lord Meonaghien-upon whose words, fu another car, by the way, some of the Judges in the Court of the Commonwealth placed reliance- is simple. The defendante volunteered informa: tion; and they did so not from any sense of duty, but in the prosecution of a business carried on for prodt. They are not in the position of one who is asked to give information as to some one in his employment or of a bank confidentially .consulted. Te it for the welfare of sonisty that they should conduct a bunces capable of being abused under special protection?" Lord Menghton, newer to this question is clear: the defendants sell libellous information without any distinct advantage to society being the result, and they must tke the consequences if they make mistakes in their perilous trade. He quoted with approval the saying by Vice- Chancellor Kaight Brace, who, with the grim humour of that mastar of irony, remarked that
