Counsel pow proposed to read those portions of the de- positions of Mr. Sioue and Mr. Cole which were pret rejected.

Mr. Cutting said that he hoped the jury could see the object of the observations of the eoundel in making such an inflammatory specch at this etage of the case.

Mr. Evarts then moved to d smiss the compiaint on tho ground that all words carelessly spoken are not considered agtionable unless they impute a pusishable crime or unless the words slanderously spoken injare the party in his business or profession. Words spoken of & man’s aputude for business ean ovly be con- sidered aciouable so fur a4 they actually inter- fero with his basiness or professional profits.

He re- ferred vo te free of Sacdford’s Superior Court Reports, io which an arertion that a keeper of a pablic house was a dapgerous man and a desperate man, and that defendant had said he was afraid w go there alone, was held not to be actionable, In the Ist 0 Denio, 250, the same print is taken. Tbe complaint charged that Squire Vau Tassell was in a combination to cheas strangers, and was a d—d Diackieg. Now that was nota very good character for a Justice of the Peace, but Judge Bronson delivered the opinion of the Court that these words were not actionable unless they affected the plaintiff in his official capacity or bis profemion. Counsel conterded that no action can fe fm this case unless malice i proved, and that special da- mage had been surtaued, and the burthen ot that proof was on the plaintif. Jie also submitted that the words spoken were a privileged communication from a previous employer to @ subsequemt em ployer, and as euch no malice has been proved, ‘The Uourt, without wishing to interfere with Mr. O’Conor ia bia reply, intimated that be might coufine to the question of malice Mr. O'Covor, afer some preliminary remarks, said, as he understood the case, ii was not necossary for him to go into any comiderauion whether these words were actioa- able in themreives, and be would come down to the point ‘as to whether these words spoken were a privileged com- munication, Where # party speaks of his beiof of the character of anolher, be may #0 speak without being ex- pored to the ordinary activa of a slander. The law docs not presume truth, bot inaemuch as the honest belief of the party should be to expressed, the Law direcus that the plainud’ must go farther than proving an acon per se. It ust appear that they were s20ken maliciously. The ques- tion then comes how are words spoken to be proved mali- cious! It would be very hard if the burthen was thrown op the plaintiff to preve that there was malice, as well as to show that they were not true. Now it certaialy is not trove that the ull must coter the heart of the defendant and thence bring forth the seoret register of motive; the motive may be impossible to thow. Malice is an ingredient in all slanders, and where the Court may pre- sumed from the falrity, T don’t mean that theyfare false in that taey are false and that the defend. Aizen witha show of morality makes commenicaion as to the character and conduct of a ser. ‘vant which be knows to be false then malice is to be pre- fumed; if im that attitude.a man, under provended good faith, asserts what be kuows vo be false the law presumes malice. We have furpiyhed evidence tothis jory that whea Mr. Bowen made this communication be knew it to be falve, and when we show evideuee which clearly estab- lishes that he asserted what he knew to be false then we furnieh presumption of molice. Tne communication of Mr. Bowen was a yolantecr Comamomeation; Mr. Cote did not ark him anything respecting the character of the plaintuf.
