Analysis
No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.
Opinion — Murray
Murray, C. J., delivered the opinion of the Court—Terry, J., concurring.
The declaration was sufficient to maintain an action of slander. The words are charged to have been spoken of and concerning the defendant as a clerk or tradesman, which, it is alleged in sxibstance, was his profession, and in such cases, the rule is well established, that it is unnecessary to allege special damages.
The want of a proper statement precludes us from examining the other assignments of error.
Judgment affirmed.
