The Gribble Libel Case.

Judgment was given by Chief Justice Stone and Justice Stone,who sat as the jury in the libel action brought by the Rev. J. B Gribble against the West Australian Newspaper Company; damages claimed at LIO,OOO. The libel complained of was con tained in the words " lying, canting hum bno-," as'applied'to the plain tift in con nection with his lectures delivered in Vic toria arid New South Wales, his statements appearing in the Melbourne " Daily Tele graph " and other newspapers and his state ments contained and published in pamph lets, in all of which he made charges against the settlers enslaving the aboriginal natives, cruelly treating them, assigning the native girlsto immoral purposes, sellingthenatives, ordering half-caste children to be murdered by their mothers, etc., also charges against the Government conniving at these mis deeds. The defendants pleaded justification and the judges agreed in giving a verdict for the defendants on that plea. The Chief Justice said in all* bis experience he had never seen a witness who so prevaricated, who so suppressed truth, and who was so disingenuous as the plaintiff. Both judges spoke strongly regarding the plaintiff's statements made in the eastern colonies, and said that in the circumstances, the defendants, as public journalists, were justified in using the words complained of.
