Tue defendauts domurred to the complatat on the ground substantiaily that it did not state facts guificiont to constitute @ cause of action; that the strictures were Justified by the circumstances; that no Damo was men- toned, @ad tbat the communication was privileged. The folluwing ia the opinion of Mr. Jusiice Clarke, over. ruling the demurrer:— The only question arising on the demurrer ia, whether the complains contains an averment suiliciently cortaia to enable @ jury to determine waether the altoged libel was intended tb apply to the plaintiff, No name is men- toned, but the New Jersoy Ral ruad is specifically men- tioned, its menagement 1 ceriuin respects severely con- demued, and it is alleged that after the accident whic. bad betailen Mr. Dwight a man came into the cars where his daughter was striving to get out to attead ‘upon her father; that this man seemed to be @ con- ductor, and in the roughest wauner asked who checked the engine; that be turned to ber aad said, “Damn you, do you mean to get off? I'll go on if you don’t step quick ;*" that after a question put by her he went on cursivg and ordering ber uff. Jt is clear that by this statement some individual is meant, No doubt the conduct of the company is se- vorely condemued in a previo.s part of the article; but some individual in their emplormont, or who ropro- seated himself to be in their employment, is held up ulgo tor public animadversion. If, therefore, the com- platot is so free from ambizuity ag that a jury can ea: (ua the individual referred to ia the plaintiff, I thin! the action can be malatained, The company may bave tholr redress if they vave been libelled. ir conductor is also oatitied to redress if he bas beon libelied. It is now weil esiablished that where Hocltons matter ia charged against eome parttouiar person, either not named, or who is so amb guousiy described that the person meaut canact be Ideutified witnout the aid of ex- trinsic 1acts—in such a case, by the introduction of proper averments and a colloquim, the words taken to conuection with the whole tibet may be rendered suf- tieiently certain to support the acuon, It wilt then be proper to permit the whoie case to go to the jury, to de. termine, aa & question of fact, whother, by tae person Meutioned in ihe aileved libel, ine platnutt was intended.
