Robert Smith, claim of £IOOO damages for slander, was heard. The parties had a quarrel in a railway-carrioge arising out of defendant addressing plaintiff familiarly as “ Louie,” which lie resented, defendant being unknown to him. The altercation, it was alleged, culminated in an inuendo that Rodgers’ premises, recen ly burnt, were overinsured, and that- the fire had been a good thing for him. The evidence i f one witness was to the effect that the best thing that could have been done with the disputants would have been to have called the guard and given both in charge, their language was so offensive to each other. The hearing of the case created much amusement in the crowded court, the plaintiff becoming much excited un 'er cross-examination. The Jury returned ia five minutes with a verdict for defendant, with costs on the highest scale.—The case of Hall and Sons v. K. W.
