The defendant-I would like your lordship to make some comment on the contradictory evi dence given by Minhinne in the box; and on the fact, which has not been contradicted, that he is a married man with a family at home.

His Lordship all the jury had heard both Webber and Goulbourn say that Minhinnett schl money home. Goulbourn remitted it for him through the Crown Agents and one time he said was for his wife and another for his sister, all of which showed that it he was a married man he did not care much for his domestic relations.

The Jury then retired, and after twenty minates returned with the following verdict:

The Jury have come to he following conclu- sien unanimously:-The two articles are untrue, de amatory, and malicious; the defendut has not proved the allegations made; they consider it is not fair comment tu dictated by malicicus motives; damages $3,000,"

M. Francia-sk that judgment may be emeed for the pluff and I am also instructed to ask your lordship for immediate excution.

The defendant and I ask for my right to. appeal on the ground that the verdict is against the weight of evidence and on the ground of misdirection.

His Lordship-What was the misdirection ? The defendant-Am I required to state it now? His Lordship-Yes, you ought to have stated it before the jury retired.

The defendant-I regret I cannot give it at the moment.

A good deal that the charge was true in substance and in fact.

He thought he had now put sil the parers or by seeing the cpins of steamers. poists before the jury, but if there was anything Then they had the story of Goulboura.

Wait not much more cos. ceivable that the whole of the story was simply an afterthought, got up for some reason or another to bolster up this case? He did no know why it was dore... but l'appeared to him so inconceivable that these people should stand by for months and allow Fraser-Smith and Ward to go to prison, that he would be more inclined to take the other view. Mrs. Goulbourn said at the Police Caust, "I never saw it o said I saw it and it is untrue that I said I did'ser it. Now she told them that she saw the offence con.mid on the chi'd ard that she in: mediately told Ah Ngan to go upstairs and gre what was going on. That was not at all con. sistent with the my Ah Ngan told at the Police Court er the vidence she gave here the other day or with Mtn, Goniburns nwn evidence before the My strate. A great deal had been said on Mr Webber's de béns esse ·xamination and the jury saw the circumstances under which that evidence was given.

Now, if that evidence had been left on zerord and Mr. Webber had rote away, he would have left this without having two facts, Important from the point of view of the d-fendant, recorded, namely that he had reported the master to Mr. Pitman, who was then living, and that the woman Ah Ngen and rs, Grulbearn had consulted him with reference to the assault on the child And Mrs. Goulbourn row testified that he went with Ab Nean in Webber's effor.
