Harold Ceell Newstead, of Gubyon Avenue, Herne Hill, S.E., a 26-year old women's hairdresser, claimed damages from the "Dally Express" in respect of a feature in the paper, headed: "Why Do People Comm Bigamy?"

Underneath the photographs of two women (said Mr. A. T. Denuing, K.C., for plaintiff) were the words:

Edward Beckham, Walworth, said that when he met Mr. Newstead in a cafe he asked him: "What are you doing here. I thought you were in 'nick'?"

Judge: Nick?--Yes. It's a slang phrase for prison.
