SPORTS LIBEL APPEAL

COURT GRANTS

PERMISSION

TELEGRAPH. MONDAY,

Leave to appeal against the decision of Mr. Justice J. J. Hayden, Acting Pulene Judge, In awarding $200 damages to Leung Kam-hoo, a sports writer, In his nation for libel against the vernacular newspaper, Tal Chung Yat Po, Was granted by the Full Court this morning.

The Chief Justice, Sir Atholl Mac- Gregor, sal with Mr. Justice Hayden, and Mr. Leo D'Almadu, Jr. in- structed by Mr. G. S. Hugh-Jones, of Messrs. Wilkinson and Grist, ap- peared for the defendant-appelionis.

be recalled, The action, it will arose from the publication of the following

in the paper: notice "Notice by this paper. Leung Kam- hoo, alias Sitt Ngong, sport news cor- respondent of this paper, is dimissed on account of a certain matter. Any- thing that person may do hereafter shall have nothing to do with this paper."

Mr. D'Almada sald the appeal was against the judgment of the Acting Puise Judge in a recent netion for damages for libel. Judgment was given for plaintiff, and the libel was contained in a newspaper advertise- ment to the effect that he had been dismissed for a certain reason. The dismissal itself was admitted both by plaint and his solicitor, Mr. F. Zimanern who, In

opening the case, suggested to the Puiane Judge that there were three preliminary issues involved,

(1) whether the dismissal was justined. (2) whether the words were in fact defamatory, and (3) whether they

capable of bear- ing a defamatory meaning. Upon the third suggestion, Mr. Hugh-Jones, who appeared for defendants, raised the ground that on objection on there was nu innuendo pleading, and the Puisne Judge decided In his favour.

I

The Puisne Judge further said: rule

that the publication of the notice was defamatory, The words 'dismissed, on account of a certain mofter would, to my mind, convey to the mind of a person of ordinary intelligence the impression that an Imputation was being made against the plaintiff.

NOT PLEADED

Continuing. Mr. D'Almada tald at the conclusion of the case, the Pulsne. Judge uguin dealt with this matter, saying that a reasonable mun reading the words would understand them in a defamatory sense, as cast- ing un imputation upan plaintif in his profession. His Lordship also held It was not necessary to plead an innuendo as he considered the words to be prima facie defamatory,

Counsel submitted that the moment the Puisne Judge went into the question of imputation he entered Immediately the plea of innuendo, which was not open to him because it wus not pleaded. The woria were in themselves defamatory apart from the question of whether or not they were capable of a defamatory meaning. They might be divided into five cinsses, (1) obviously de- famatory, (2) prima facie defamu- tory, (3) neutral, (4) prima Jacie' innocent but capable of defamatory. and (5) prima facie Innocent and in- capable of defamatory.

"The case could only have come under the category of No. 5," said Mr. D'Almada, "and even at its highest, No. 4.

A BITTER feud between Mrs.

Almee Semple McPherson, the "hot gospeller," and her associate pas- tor of the Angelus Temple, Mes Rheba Splivalo, has culminated in a lawsuit by the former "Angel of Broadway."

Seeking £200,000 damages, Mr. Spilvalo alleges that the evangelist said of her in the presence of others:

am going to do something about that Jezebel. She may have been a Governor's mistress, but no woman of ber kind is going to use my platform and use my money to wreck my Temple and get away with it.

"I am working day and night to She is trying to pay her salary. take my Temple. She has taken money frotn me just the way as she did from the Salvation Army.

"I don't care how many detectives goods on you hire, but get the Rheba."

Before the feud began a year ngo the two pastors nuld they were the closest friends and that their co- operation was making the Temple into a powerful national organisation.

A few days ago Mrs. McPherson told Mrs. Spilvalo she was "fired."
