General Mac Donald's Sword of Honour

A JEWELLERS CLAIM TOR I DAMAGES | In 1899 the Olan Macdonald Society | resolved to present a sword of honour j to Major-General Hector Macdonald, and after obtaining various de^ns and | estimates, they selected a design «nd estimate by 0 0 Macdonald, jeweller, 352 Duke Street, Glasgow, and 107 Vyse Street, Birmingham, for a sword after the pattern of a® ancient clay more. The basket or hilt of the clay more was to be o£lßcaiat gold, and to weigh over 15 ounces. The scab bard was to be o sterling silver, with mountings of 18 carat gold, and the blade a! the best quality. The clay more was completed by Mr Macdonald in terms, he says, of the Society's order, and delivered to the Society, who subsequently presented it to Major-General Macdonald. The price paid to him for the claymore was £152. j The sword was of first class workman ship, and made of the best material. Aa executed and delivered, the hilt contained over 16 ounces of 18 carat gold. Since its delivery to the Society, Mr Macdonald has not had the sword again in his hands, except for a short period in order to iff-eta small repair on the hilt, rendered necessary in con sequence of an accident which occurred to it when in Major-General Macdon ald's hands. The presentation of the sword took place in Glasgow at a pub lic meeting presided over by the Lord Justice-Clerk, who made the presenta tion on behalf of the clan Macdonald. On September 8, 1900, there appeared in the Oban Times an article headed •Hector Maodonald'a Sword,' in which reference was made to 8 the circulation of a peculiar tale about the sword of honour recently presented by the Olan Macdonald to Major General Hector Macdonald. When examining the gift, the story goes, the sword came to pieces in the General's hands, and in spection revealed that it was of little value. To-day it is reported that a leading member of the Olan admitted the truth of the tale, and it is further asserted that the secretary of the fund and,the General have had correspon dence on the matter, and that on the latter's suggestion it had been agreed to say nothing about the matter, It is hoped that the committee or some others responsible will either have the whole story refuted of have the blame 'brought home to the proper parties. Ibe subscribers have just cause to be indignant should the tale prove true.' Mr Macdon ald, the maker of the sword, now brings an action against Duncan Cameron, the proprietor and publisher of the Oban Times for £1000 damages for alleged slander on the ground that the statements in the article falsely and calumniousiy represented that tho pursuer, as maker of the Bword, had defrauded thesubscriberaby dishonestly supplying them with an article ot little value that came to pieces when bandied, in implement of their order for a costly presentation sword. He says the publication of the article has | inflicted serious injury m hierepufca-J tion and feeling®, and that his business I has been injured, The defender says I that he believes that there is no ground j of complaint against the pursuer either j in regard to the quality or workman- j ship of thu sword. He explains tha' j the statements in the paragraph were J derived from articles on the subject I published in the London Daily Mail j and Glasgow Evening Citizen The j defender further explains that as soon j as he was sati&fied there was no truth j in the story or rumour which was cir-J ciliated by the papers above mentioned, I he published in the Oban Times an I article in which it was pointed out that I ' tha extraordinary rumours circulated I with regard to General Macdonald'* I sword of honour, in the city last week, are still a matter of comment. From enquiries made, however, the story hue beep shorn of the major part of its sensational features, and what is left makes comparatively dull reading,' It I was further pointed out that in the article that the gentlemen who con stituted the committee were not lik«ly to be parties to the acceptance of a worthless article, or to be imposed upon in any way. The defender says he had, before the action was raised, promptly contradicted the article com plained of, in such a way that none of the readers of his paper could remain under the impression that there were any grounds for attributing blame to rheparauer in connection with the work manship or materials of the sword. He again expresses bis unqualified regret that the paragraph should ever have been inadvertently published in his pappr, m there were no grounds for making any imputations on the pur suer in regard to the matter referred to and he tenders the purauer £51 with expenses, in full of the conclusions The defender says that the pursuer has already raised actions of damages in respect of the same matter against certain English and Scottish news papers. On Tuesday Lord Low closed the record in the action, and ordered issoteg for the trial. Lord Low also closed the tecord and ordered issues in actions of the saoae pursuer over somewhat similar articlps published in the Glasgow Evening Citizen and the Dundee Weekly Neios The pursuer sues the proprietors of the Evening Citizen for £2000 damages, and the proprietors of the Dundee Weekly Neivs for £1000.
