The offence was republishing from another paper a misquotation or misrepresentation of an article which appeared in the Evening Post. If such verdicts always resulted from similar prosecutions, we need only, to secure an ample fortune, prosecute to a decision suits against all who have willfully misrepresented us in the same manner.
