LIBEL APPEAL CASE.
AMENDMENT OF THE LAW URGED. London, June 7. The Times, commenting on the case Macintosh v. Dunn, says: "Both tlie Judicial Committee and tlie Supreme Court of Australia rely on the. same principles) and facts. They deduced opposite conclusions from the same premises. Lord Macnanghton, in delivering the committee's judgment, declares that the defendant paper volunteered the information not from a sense of duty, but in the course of a business conducted for profit.'' The Times, however, would lie surprised if men of business were not of opinion that it is fair to their interest to obtain information regarding possible customers, and consider* that it is a pity the law cannot lie further developed in order to give the necessary protection to those supplying such information, whether they are remunerated for it or not." Tlie decision is of vital importance lo .nine well-known agencies here and in the colonies.
