Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practice Under the Judicature Acts: Being Reports of Points of Practice Arising Under the Judicature Acts, 1873 and 1875, Decided in Judges' Chambers Any information which, before the passing of the Judicature Acts, could have been obtained in Equity by filing a bill of discovery, can now be obtained by interrogatories in any cause before the High Court of Justice, although the cause may have been entered for trial before the Judicature Acts came into operation. This was an action by the plaintiff against the publisher of the Standard newspaper, for an alleged libel in that paper; and the present application to his Lordship was for leave to administer interrogatories to the defendant. The interrogatory which was objected to, and which, as will be seen, was allowed by the learned Judge, is as follows: - Were you, on the 22nd Nov. 1874, the printer or publisher, or both, of the Standard newspaper? W. P. Macdonald appeared for the plaintiff; Warburton Pike for the defendant. Nov. 5. - Lush, J. - The question in this case is whether the plaintiff is entitled to an order for administering interrogatories to the defendant for the purpose of discovering whether he was or was not, at a given date, the printer and publisher of the Standard newspaper. The action, which is for an alleged libel in that paper, was brought many months ago, and was entered for trial at the sittings after last Trinity Term, but not having been reached, it stands in the list of remanets for trial at the present sittings. The defendant's plea is "Not Guilty." Whether the plaintiff could have obtained permission to put this interrogatory from the Court of Queen's Bench, under the law as it stood up to the 1st Nov. inst., is at least doubtful. She was advised that she could not, and she did not therefore make the application. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
