THE LIBEL LAW.
The Prime Minister intimated the other evening that, if time permitted, an amendment of the Libel Law would be introduced this session. Sir Joseph Ward has been making a similar intimation., ever since he assumed the reins of office. He delights in dangling the bait before the newspapers of the Dominion. But, somehow or another, time never seems to permit. Legislation concerning everything . mundane, from colds in the head to flying machines, can be introduced and forced on to the Statute Book without difficulty. But the Libel Law, the most barbarous, antcdeluvian, wretched thing that disgraces our modern civilisation, is allowed to hang over the heads of a highly important, not to say law-abiding and intensely respectable profession like the Sword of Damocles.
