Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York May 15, 1903 (Foot v. Pitt)

Willard Bartlett, J.:

The only question presented by this appeal is whether the publication of which the plaintiff complains is libelous $>er se. In my opinion the language, when considered in its natural and ordinary meaning, is not defamatory and will not sustain an action for libel in the absence of an allegation of special damage.
