Sunbury American And Shamokin Journal

The Milton Ledger contains the proceedings of a suit, which the editor of that paper instituted against E. Y. Bright, Esq., for five dollars, for printing tickets in 1842. The Justice, Henry Frick, Esq., however, after hearing witnesses on both sides, decided the plaintiff had no cause of action. The editor says, that "this, no doubt, was the result of justice and equity."

We know nothing of the case, personally, and cannot conceive the ground of complaint on the part of the Ledger against Mr. Bright, unless it is because the editor has been defeated on his own dunghill. If there has been any error, he should blame the Justice or the witnesses, and not the defendant.

Since the above was written, Mr. Bright has requested us to say that he never authorized Mr. Porter to print tickets, and that he proved by one of the editors of the Miltonian, that he declared, at the time he had his tickets printed at that office, that Porter should not print any of his tickets. He also proved that Porter's tickets were not correctly printed, and could not be used.
