THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1889.

A FABLE....

know how the ense strikes you, but it strikes me as avery ordinary transaction; it seems that Grimble had a balance of $3000 in his hands, and that

Only two pigs. Two little baby-pigs when Brands having another transaction for the next they came to Hongkong many, many months montb, instead of paying the difference wantedag. Fabies fret and pale and get thin during the to carry it over. However, Grimble had the $3000, and paid himself-he would not carry it over Brandt, instead of taking up the shares, com- menced an action to recover the balance. That action was tried, and the question between the parties was apparently confined to whether the transaction, terminated on the 31st August, or whether it should be carried over to three or four days afterwards, when the shares had fallen several points. It was a ques. tion of some $1 or $4 per share, and, the issue was as to what extent. Brandt was liable. He alleged that there was an ander standing that the shares should be held over, which was denied, and the decision was, as you know, that Brandt recovered the balance of the money, calculated from the settling day. We have no business with that decision beyond what bearing it has on the article which immediately follows.

THE LEADER.

Now follows the article. Though it is perhaps dangerous to foretell the verdict of a jury, I may express my own opinion. It is that the article does contain a direct personal attack on the character of Mr. Brandt, and that this case (the Brandi-Grimble case) considered by itself, does not appear any excuse or justification for the attack. As far as his information is concerned itmust bave been a "gan.b'ing" case, as he called it-there is plenty of gambling on the Stock Exchange; and if the writer's object had been to run down this transaction he might have been entitled to a great deal of sympathy. As far as he was concerned it might have been a gambling transaction-a "time""contract is always a gambling transaction, and although there had Been a re-sale to a man named Benjamin, It does not appear that the prosecutor was aware of it. Then comes what appears to me to be the sting of this article. It is that it was quite evident that when Brandt brought these shares he had not the remotest chance in the world of taking delivery unless the quota. tions went up. It may be that speculation of this kind is rife, and if so it would be a very good thing that it should be run down, but I put it to you if you can say that he could not by any possibility pay if the prices fell. I need not trouble you further with the remarks about the social effect of the attack which would make the article provoking; Beandt is accused of betting when he could not passibly pay, taking his chance of winning "Heads I win, tails you lose," as the article says. The man who does that may be fairly called a welsher, not fit to consort with honest inen

hot summer-menths in Hongkong and so these WOODYEAR'S ROYAL AUSTRALIAN little baby-pigs were sent to live at the Peak and get fat and dark and amiable. This was long, long age, before people built housen at the Peak and lived in them. Fairies and Nymphs and Fauns, and Syyrs held revelry there. It was a land of Arcadis. And our two little pigs had a fine stretch of mountain side to zoam upon and a burn to wash in and A Government mad A their boundary, It was a rural lot. And the little pige grew and grew and one grew quicker and bigger than the other. And because these linle pigs were never seen separate, but always together, the little pig following close behind and treading in the foot- steps of the bigger pig-the big pig was called Ri and the little pig was called T1 and the signification thereof is known to the initiated.

And the pigs were happy and grew exceed REDUCED PRICES I ingly, and as they grew they became bold and crossed the burn and even the Government road. Now amongst the dwellers at the Peak, Fairies, Nymphs, Fauna, and Satyrs, was one wicked old Satyr, and he saw the pigs and that they were happy, and this displeased him exceedingly, for he was a grumpy, grumbling old satyr. And he said they are pigs, they are not dogs, and so they must not go to the water, nor upon the road, nor run about the hills. And he betook him to the gnomes and dwarfs that dwelt on the borders of Arcadia, blue gnomes and yellow dwarfs, and laid complaint against the bappy, big piga now, And so it came to pass that the blue gnomes and yellow dwarfs harassed the pigs and per plexed them so that they fell into the hands of a great giant who dwelt down below and who cared for four-footed animals. Some of these be THE fed on hay and oats and bran-math so that they waxed strong and swift, and others be fed on sweet grass and bay and bran, so that they gave him much milk, and others be killed. And RiTHE and Ti when they came to this place trembled and were sorry and squeaked to be taken back again. And the sound of their lamentation reached the great giant and disturbed him, so he Inid hands on them and killed them. And he disemboweled them, and cut them up, and prodded them with his fingers and said "Eb | Mr. Maconiodds, but they're fine pigs.". And so the pigs died and were eaten,

And the moral of this story is to keep pigs at home and don't let them roam, or they !!! be eaten and nothing sweeten your despair at their lot but the cook's kitchen pat and onions, and sage and intemperate rage when the crack- You must consider this attacking is not crisp and the apple-sauce has been was it a personal attack which the circumstances forgotten. put forth in this court to-day "would justify? Put yourselves in his place, and any whether he put more in his letter than he was justified in 'put- ting. If you think that he did you must find a verdict for the prosecutor. The language is very strong, but it is for you to consider; of course the answer, as he says, must be Jualified by the occasion, you must not go beyond that. If he has bis perional character attacked he has a sight to use means to vindicate it. Although the language is strong, strong language is sometimes used, you must look at the sub- stance (Hislordship then read the letter) Now it is for you to say how' for that is justified. Here is a letter written by a man smarting with anger was it a fair reply under the circum- stances. If you think it was then you will find a verdict for the defendant. But if he took advantage of the occasion to maliciously assail the prosecutor, you will not. Now ai to the extent of the publication. The defendant- says his object was to write a strong letter to show, to any of his friends who spoke to him about the article, and you have heard his very sensible remarks about the necessity for its immediate publication. He wrote it on the spur of the moment, and set off at once to show it to his friends. The evidence as to publication, however, chiefly points to the fact that what he did was exactly in accordance with what he says was his intention. Mrs. Fraser. Smith was the mere recipient of the letter, and as far as the question of malice goes you have to consider the rest of the evidence. If you think his object was not a malicious one of course it will assist his case. If you think it was not a malicious publication, but done in self- protection, and that the mode was not mail. cious, you must find a verdict of Not Guilty, Now as to the plea of justification. A libel must be true in substance and in fact. "You Mr. Nicholas' dan Melody, 10st. 11lb......... deliberately lie," "you pervert the truth,”***

yau knowingly and deliberately lie again" and so on-do not be led away by every expression of exaggeration in a letter of this sort. "Slush," of course, is a figurative expression, incapable of Justification at all. The gist in the deliberately lie," andtheadjectives are simply scattered round by way

of embellishment. Then he calls him a "wholesale reviler," “malicious slanderer" and a "coward," which almost follows. But you need not trouble yourselves about the suggestions | CHAMPION SWEEPSTAKKS-One mile. - that Mr. Fraser-Smith went to Macao to avold Mr. Nicholas' gr.
