o AN ARTIST AND HIS WIFE SUED. Hy Telegraph—Preaa Association—Cooyrlirhi London, June 1. In the King's Bsnch Division of tho High Court a remarkable case has been heard, in which a Mrs. Cole sued Briton Riviere, the well-known Royal Academician, and his wife, for libel. - The ground of action is that Mrs. Riviere wrote to Mrs. Cole's husband stating that his (Cole's) wife had had a child by her own uncle. Mr. Cole is a grocer in a Suffolk village, where tho Rivieres were holiday-making. Mrs. Riviere admitted that the ohild story was untrue, but persisted that misconduct took place while Mrs. Cole's husband was an emigrant in Canada. Mr. Justice Grantham, in slimming up, said no duty was cast upon society to give a husband such information. The jury disagreed.
