Syllabus

<p>Libel and Slander. Libelous words.</p> <p>Where a railroad company through the assistant of its president wrote to a surety company in regard to a former’ employee, that while employed by it such employee was guilty of “the practice of overeolleeting from patrons of the company and pocketing such amounts by forcing his cash with the correct amount collectible as reported by him” and also charged that he took liberties with the Company’s funds. Such words impute the want of honesty, the lack of integrity and unreliability and unworthiness of trust and are actionable.</p>
