A CURATE IN COURT.
DISMISSED LIBEL ACTION. (Received 9.35 a.m.) Loudon, November 21. The Rev. Mr Ghents’ counsel claimed that the ease was of paramount importance to professionals, such as doctors and clergy who have to visit women sometimes in bedrooms. The judge, in summing up, took tour hours. He emphasised that Mr Ghent wrote no objectionable letters, and there was not a. single circumstance reflecting on him. He lived a happy and moral life. There was no evidence of Fitzgerald blackmailing. Apparently one juryman dissented from the rest.
