In connection with the recent committal to prison uf Mr E, A. Haggon, of the Woodvillo ICxaminer, for criminal libel, it is interesting to read the following oxprcssion ofopimon by an eminent judge, 6incedeceased,given«omofewyoarsback. The case was an action for criminal libel brought against the proprietors, editor, and publisher, of the DuilyTtkgraph, in December, 1873, and flis Honor, the late Mr Justice Johnston, was asked by the foreman of the special jury tho following question:—" If a journalist, in exposing irregularities in a Government Department, übbb language stronger than the circumstances warrant —is that libel 1" His Honor replied: " What is the duty of a journalist ? Not to tell lies; not to make charges which are not Correct. I have heard much of a journalist's duties, 1 know of nono which he does not impose on himself by tho nature of hia position. Why Is he a journalist ? To make money. Be has no duty nor privilege beyond his brethren. His only duty is to Ml tho truth and defend tho truth, If he uses language beyond the truth he is certainly uuilty of libel. . . Are you justiGod in making accusations against a man wh'ch his acts do not fully warrant ? If so, libel of the very worst kind could be justified on this ground. , , , Where publishers are evidently only actuated by motives of public wolfare, we must not put too narrow a conttruction upon their expression; but they are bound to be careful of tijoir epithets; they are not to vituperate or caluminato; and where there is mere irregularity, for them to accuse of fraud and trickery may bo a very groBS libel."

It is toujour interest, just the same as it is to insure your life in a sound society, or build your house on a secure foundation, by poing the whole hog; in other words, by determining to buy everything at Hooper and Company's, Bon Marche. Take your grocery bill on one hand, and your draper's on the the other Give us your weekly, order for family stores; for tea, coffee butter, and other eatables, and you wil save enough to buy your own clothes, with something to put in the pockets, Buy everything at Hooper and Company's; Bon Marobe-ADTt

From one end of New Zealand to the other, large orders aro recoived for this popular brand. Even in the most out of the way districts tho careful house-wife, possessed with the laudable ambition to make hor bread and her scones better than her neighbours', buys Sharland's Baking Powder, and triumphs over tho few of her less sensible sisters, who, from a mistaken sense of economy, buy apparently cheaper brands, Tho recipe of a good Baking Powder is anything but a secret j but how very few manufacturers use, rs Messrs Sharland & Co. do, the best only of materials, carefully tested before mixturo and exactly proportioned,'' Readers, who require an economical, satisfactory and healthful Baking Powder, cannot do better than use the " Moa" brand.—Advt
