They were theresa return atige verdict, and in dealing with the case they must forget they ever knew either the prosecutor ur Mr Fraser-Smith There were great principles to which he would call their attention, and he expected they would give their verdict according to those principles. He will now call their attention to the matters charged. The first question at issue was whether the addcles were libellous. If was their opinion they were not libellons, the case fell the ground at once. The question rester en tirely with them. In old days, before the intro- duction of Mr. Fox's libel Act, all the Jm hal to consider was whether publication was proved. It was for the judge to say whether it was a libel or not. That was done away with, and it was well that it' was. Mr. Fox's libel Act was intended to secure the greater liberties of the people, and left it to the Jury to consider whether a publication was libellous or not. Great responsibility therefore rested on them, and he was sure they world exercise it properly. GOLD AND SILVERSMITH, in criminal actions it was for the fury to say whether the matter was fibellous or not, and truth was no justification. Indeed it was said that the greater the irath the greater the libel. Under. the Act therefore, where persons were charged with
of the truth of the statements, if such statements were made for the public bencil. · It was also open to then to state that it was not a libel on the ground of being a privileged co- cation. If the matter was simply whether it was a libel or not, it would be sufficient for him (the judge) to lay down the law of libel and ask them whether it was libellous or not. Mr. Fraser-Smith alleged privileged communica- tion-one way, that it was for the benefit of the public to publish the matter; another, that he privileged, resting his ease en a Privy Council decision. He said he had been attacked and was justified in defending himself. Mr. Francis, on the other hand contended that the defendant could not avail himself of privilege, being ac tuned by malice. With regard to the first question, whether they were privileged communications, the law of libel was laid down very clearly in
beard nothing about it from that gentleman un-cupied them two days. Before making any re- til he heard it from the witness box. Mr. Ogden's story agreed with his own personal knowledge of Like case. Mr. Bandmann had positively denied that he ever assaulted Mrs. Rousby, but admitted that he had been up at the Police Court, where tcase was committed to the Criminal Sessions; of good evidence the presumed, for London Stipendiary Magistrates did not send cases to the Sessions without good grounds; however, theease was committed to the Criminal Session. Mr. Banduan hul sworn that he was acquitted, and he had a perfect right to alt privileges which that acquittal gave bun, and they were found to be lieve that Mr. Bandmash was found not guilty by a jury of his own countrymen. At the same time he would ask them to use their own judg ment and good sense in dealing with the state ment that he put before them yesterday, a state- ent which was commen property, as common as a national poem in all the parts of the world in which he had been. What the jury had to consider was whether he made this statement honestly, and believing it to be true. As they were aware he had no opportunity of bringing evidence to refute any of the statements which Mr. Bandana had made on path; at the same time he was perfectly well aware that he was responsible forall this. When he wrote these paragraphs he made himself res-hiệt, they had bersy to plead and give evidence Jonsible for what was written, so it was no ex cuse for him at all if he was not in a position to bring evidence to support what he had written about Mr. Bandwand. He would, however, ask them to believe that everything he had written in that ticle had been substantially proved. He would ask them to believe that Mr. Banduan had snatched a book out of Mrs. Rosby's hand, that Mrs. Kously actually had fallen, and that she had some grounds, although not perhaps enough to secure a conviction, for bringing a charge of assault against Mr. Handnaan. They had heard Mr. Ogles, and if they did not believe what he said about the affair, fie could only say that Mr. Giden ost luave been very barelaced to go into the box and say all that he did. With regard to Mr. Bandason's generaltreatment of women they had beard what a luly had stated in the witty wil he had come there of her own free

With regard to paper, a leader in some sense of public opinion, "Tragic Power, it was for them to consider a representative of a certain portion of public whether it was a fair corament on Mr. Band- interests, las he had actually gone out of his mann's tigraphy in ten of the Time." way to revile hit and abuse his paper, by to his (Mr. Fraser-Smith's) clients, who aver the fair and imperial criticism, a writer on isel and subscribed to his paper, asserting that the Editor of the Telegraph was a blackguard, and a scoundrel, and making statements to the effect that mone in the Colony should take in the paper. If that was not sufficient justification for libelling, if he had libelled him, he was very much mistaken as to the meaning of the English law of id. Had Mr. Hundman taken civil action
against him he would have had an op- portunity of going into the box and stating what he knew about the case of Mrs. Rusby. He should not have felt any bitterness towards Mr. Bandmann. It he had injused his reputation, no me could blame Mr. Bandmann for trying to recover damages. If he (Mr. Fraser-Sauth) had been convided he should have felt that he was property convicted, but Mr. Bandmann did not take the ordinary course, but took criminal Rececilings most vindictively. Not only had the prosecutor obtained the assistance of an emi- nent firm of solicitors, not only did he retain an eminent-baster to conduct his case, but three days before the trial came on he retained the leader of the Hongkong ur to conduct his By a certain clause in Lord Campbell's Acy, it was enacted that in a private crim- inal prosecution for "libel where justifica tion was pleaded, the

That was one more evidence of the vindictiveness of the prosecution. He would simply ask them to use their good sense in weighing the evidence. The liberty of the press was to a certain extent at stake in this trial, it would be utterly impossible for any editor to show the slightest amount of independence in criticism, if their finding laid it down that "Tragic Power" was libellons. That so-called palladion of English liberty, the Press, which, as had been- said, had wielded
