Great Railway Libel Case
In the Speight- The. Aye libel action the jury returned a verdict on one count out of the eleven, and declared that they were unable to answer the other counts*
They gave a Verdict for plaintiff on the eighth count, which refe.is to the Age's comments alleging gross extravagance, and assessed the damages at £100.
The question of coses was reserved. The solicitor for the plain tiff, when interviewed^ said that Mr Speight regarded the verdict merely as £100 on account;, as it was intended to take fresh action concerning the other alleged libels. — Press Association.
