This was the legal axiom laid down by Mr. Justice McCardie in the King's Bench Division, during the hearing of the case in which Mr. William Donovan, a butcher, of Grove Park-road, Chiswick, sued Mr. J. P. Wright, a retired bank cashier, of Spencer-road, Chiswick, for

It was his first appearance as a public speaker in any capacity, and as he does not look even as old as he is the villagers seemed inclined to murmur among them selves when he entered the pulpit. But the eloquent way he advanced strong views on the failings of modern youth promptly disarmed all criticism and proved him to be a preacher of real ability.

Mr. Justice McCardie, summing up, privilege. If a man believed that he had a good cause of complaint against a tradesman, then it was right to complain. Not only was it right that a customer should complain, but it was his duty to do so in order that the purity and well- being of the trade might be maintained. The jury had to consider whether Mr. Wright acted in such a way as entitled him to rely on the plea of privilege. It was in his interest, and in the public in-so basty. terest that he should return to the shop and tell Mr. Donovan Shat was passing through his mind--that the meat was not English, but "foreign="

Mr. Justice McCardie pointed out that Mr. Wright's daughter did not complain when she was served with the meat. It was known to those who studied human nature, especially the nature of women, added his lordship, that rather than have a dispute or row with tradesmen they: went home and told their husbands and brothers to see the tradesmen on the spot. The fact that there were customers in the shop did not deprive Mr. Wright of the right to make any complaint. A verdict for him would not mean that the jury were convicting Mr. Donovan of fraudulently selling imported meat for English, as the israe fo justification had not been raised in the case. Such a ver- dict would simply mean that Mr. Wright"No, I do not come of an ecclesiastical acted honesty and, without malice, and family.
