It tomed to tamper with their seems to be our long suit. neighbor’s character. For the last few days we have been treated to one of spec »! interest. It is very unfortian- ate that cases of this kind must be aired in public, and yet perhaps it is best that they should. The newspapers are often accused of rushing after some of these spicy se- lections to dish up for_their readers, and looking at it from one point of view it might appear that this cours was wrong. At the same time the minute details of a trial very often show, as this one did, that many of the charges and the common gossip about town have no foundaton at all in fact. In this way it is better that the trath should be known, for nothing wi! like truth. A great deal of sympathy has been shown for the plain- tiff about town. There is no doubt of the fact that he has been dogged unmerciful'v Whether the defendant was honest in his’ persecution matters not with the average man. The charges were so serious and the effect upon his whole life so great that no man should undertake such a responsibility without being certain of his ground. The people in general will rejoice that the plaintiff has been ab- solutely exonerated and that with a verdict that leaves not the slightest room for doubt dispel suspicion * > . . Another aspect of the case is open for serious comment. It is well known that a law- yer before the bar is a privi- leged character; that he has the character of his opponent| == = in his hands to do with as he already been tried and found will.
