Foster, M.P., against Rev. J. A. Macdonald, managing edi- tor of the Toronto Globe. The result was in the nature of 8 drawn battle, Justice Magee, the presiding judge, reserving his decision in regard to the points presented, but intimat. ing that the slander getion would he dismissed, while the action for tbel would go on. E. F. B., Johnson, K.C., for the deferslant, argued that the slander action would not lie, because it had vot been shown that Mr. Fost. er was acting as a trustee and unless he had occupied such a position ne criminal action could have heen main: tained against him, if the charges had been true. His lordship held that this contention was correct, but observed his opinion was subject to changes be- fore the case went to the jury. Mr, Johnston also contended that owing to 'the failure of the plaintiff to give due notice of his intention to sue for libel, the action on that count should also be disminsed, but the court held that the fact that Mr. Foster was a candidaterfor public office | in Ontario at the time served to save the case. w---- Today's Proceedings. Toronto, Feb. 18.~The Foster-Mac- donald suit continued before a crowd- ed court room in the jury assizes this morning, Justice Magee, on the op- ening of the court, gave his dedsion om the point raised as to the claims for damages for slander as well as libel, and decided there was no shun der. He, accordingly, ruled out that part of the claim. On another point raised last night his lordship ruled that had Dr. Macdonald, in his stat» ment of defence, objected that written notice of intention to proceed on a charge of libel had not been given, he would have ruled the whole suit out. But Mr. Macdonald not having so objected he thougnt Mr. Foster was entitled to proceed. The case for the defence then pro- ceeded.
