ACTION FOR SLANDER
SOCIETY SCANDAL AT HOME. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. London, January 17. Mrs. Horace West has brought an action accusing Sir Algernon West, her father-in-law, of slander, which caused her exclusion from Court functions. Received 17, 10.25 p.m. London, January 17. The action was brought before Mr. Justice Darling, King's Bench. Mr. Duke, the plaintiff's counsel, stated that the marriage was happy for some years, but then, owing to her husband's misconduct, her health suffered, and a deed of separation was agreed upon. In 1908 Sir Algernon West slanderously informed Viscount Althorpe, then Lord Chamberlain, Mrs. Asquith, and- others, that the plaintiff was responsible for the separation, owing to her hopeless extravagance. The Court upheld Viscount Althorpe's refusal, in the public interest, to disclose whether Sir Algernon made the statement to him. The hearing was adjourned.
