Sarasohn v. Workingmen's Publishing Ass'n

52 A.D. 630

Opinion

Beekman, J.:

The libel in this case is disgusting and offensive in the extreme, and the rule which requires the justification to be as broad as the charge should be unhesitatingly applied to the matter set up byway of justification in the defense demurred to. Iam of the opinion that the defense is insufficient upon its face, and that the demurrer thereto should be sustained. Demurrer sustained, with costs, with the usual leave to defendant to amend on payment of costs.
