Davis Libel Suit Ended by Ruling
A libel suit for $25 000 brought by George W Davis against his brother Andrew J Davis was dismissed by Judge Lynch on his demurrer after a district court ruling. The decision held that statements made in a judicial proceeding are privileged and cannot form the basis of a libel claim. The case arose from Andrew J Davis and others objections to a petition for letters of administration in the John A Davis estate.
