THAT "CROSS" LIBEL.
Wliesn Sir Joseph Ward, in the dying hours of the session, declared that hg had instructed his lawyers to proceed against a newspaper for what he termed a "gross" libel, people Avere amazed. They suspected that he was after the scalp of some great metropolitan journal which had dared to wound his pious susceptibilities. But no. The offending scribe appears to rusticate somewhere in the waybacks, and his sheet only sees the light of day three times a week. The gravity of his offence may be judged from the fact that the alleged libel was contained in the report of some foolish interjection at a political meeting. Really, when Sir Joseph'® mountain moves it brings forth the most diminutive mice.
