Notman, the dismissed bank clerk, in his slander action against the Commercial Bank of Scotland. The Jury, after an absence of an hour and 55 minutes, found for Notman by a majority of 10 to two.

Mr. Notman, who is 31, had sued the bank for £5,000, complaining of a statement made by the Bank to the Minister of Labour, which, he said, reflected on his capacity. He alleged that the statement was made to cover the real reason for his dismissal which followed his announcement that he intended to be married in breach of the bank's regulation:

His salary was then £180 a year. and the bank's rule was that em- ployees should not marry until they were earning £200.

the

Referring in his summing-up to. statement to the Minister, Lord Keith remarked that its sting Jay in the words, "the proximate. but not the chief cause of the dis- missal."

"The suggestion is that the cir- cumstances were such as to justify the plaintiers dismissal." sold the Judge, "and that those circums tances were not a breach of mar riage regulations but the fact that he had not responded to training. 1 think the words certainly may in- dicate that the plaintiff was not

emetent in his duties.

"SUFFERING AND ANXIETY"

"I direct you to find that the statement of the bank to the Minis- ter of Labour was privileged. Thus the "plaintiff must prove malice, Was that explanation to the Miris- ter an attempt by the bank au- thorities to excuse themselves by attributing Notman's dismissal to a motive which. was not the real or chief motive.

"If the plaintiff has established malice to your satisfaction, then you must bring in a verdict for him."

On the question of damages. Lord "Keith observed: "The state- ment to the Minister of Labour was iblished more than a year after Notman's dismissal. There is no evidence that his unemployment was due to any words complained of in the statement. As a matter of fact, he was out of employment about three months before this statement came out at all.

Suggested Amendment Of Secrets Acts.

The importance of the problem of the use of the Official Secrets Acts in their general relation to the rights and freedom of the in- dividu and of the Press was re- ferred to by Dr. George A. Waters, Editor of the "Scotsman," in a lec- ture in Edinburgh recently...

Dr. Waters was speaking to the Edinburgh University Law Faculty Society on the Omcial Secrets Acts and the Press.

Dr. Waters said that Journalists asserted that:

These Acts were never intended to apply and should not be appiled in regard to the publication of political news or news of a general character;
