A Peculiar Slander Case

A ease of slander tried in thecourt settled a question of

some importance to a student of theEnglish lauguage The plaintiff afish hawker at Billingsgate sued thekeeper of a coffee tavern near Billings-gate Market for fifty pounds sterlingdamages for slander for calling him a

robber As it was not alleged thatthe plaintiff had suffered any specialdamage from the words the ques-

tion for the decision of the jury waswhether the word robber fortifiedas it had- - been with some otherepithets was slanderous as imputinga criminal offense or was merely

vulgar abuse and so --not action-able On the part of the defense anattempt was made to show that theterm robber as used in Billings-gate merely meant a man andwas rather complimentary than other-wise The jury of the mayors courthowever thought andawarded the injured plaintiff fiveguineas as damages MallGazcilc
