Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Libel — Parties to Whom, Libelous Words Refer. A petition in an action for libel is insufficient when it fails to aver that the libelous words complained of were published of and concerning the plaintiffs personally.</p> <p>2. - Corporations — Officers. In such a case, where the plaintiffs are the principal officers of a corporation, libelous words published against the company do not as a general rule affect its officers.</p> <p>3. -Imputations Upon Persons in Office of Trust or Profit. Where libelous language is published of and concerning a person with reference to his conduct in an office, trade or profession, it will be held to be actionable without an averment of special damages.</p>
