(Before COLERIDGE, J.) REX v. ALDRED. (a) Criminal law-Seditious libel-Newspaper-Attempting to alienate the allegiance of the Indian native liege subjects of the King— Publication-Definition-Questions for jury. Whoever by language either written or spoken incites or encourages others to use physical force or violence in some public matter connected with the State is guilty of publishing a seditious libel. The accused may not plead the truth of the statements that he makes as a defence to the charge, nor may he plead the innocence of his motive. The test of seditious libel is this: Was the language used calculated, or was it not, to promote public disorder or physical force or violence in a matter of State? If the accused published the libel, there is no distinction in law between what he wrote in it and what any other person wrote in it. GUY UY ALFRED ALDRED was indicted for unlawfully and seditiously printing and publishing, and causing and procuring to be printed and published, in a certain periodical called the Indian Sociologist, a seditious libel of and concerning the government of our Lord the King of and in the Indian Empire, and the administration of the laws in force in the said Indian Empire.
