London, Jaly 18:a.—[lhe jury in, the libsl suit brouzht by Tord Alfred Doug- las against the Morning Post, returned a verdict in favour of the plantiff this afternoon, \vith damages of one farthing. Judgement was entered and accordingly each party to the suit must pay its own costs. Amazing testimony has been given in eourt for the last two days by Lord Alfred Douglas. Lord Douglas, well known as a son of the late sporting Marquis of Qieensbury anl also as a minor poet, bas frequzantly appeared in ihe courts in various iroles. As editor ot the weekly, Piain English, he made a g:ries of charges that the Jews were €2l- - to ruin the country, that some of the prominent members of that race had made 48,000,000 pouads by manip ilating the news of the battle of Jutiand, that they were responsible for Lord ®Kitchen- er’s death because he oifended thewmn and that the late Sic wrnest Cassel gave Mr. Winston Charchnlt, 32,000 pounds to fur: nish a new louse, as a reward for the latter’s alleged aid; in manipulating the Jutland News. The Morning Post at- tacked Lord Douglas on account of his ravings. The latter in court asserted that everything he wrote was true, but refused to give most of the sources of his alleged information. An affidavit was read from the Earl of Balfour, who is ill, stating that as First Lord of the Admiralty he prepared the bulletic on the Jutland battle and that no one except himself and the members of the Cabinet had anything to d> with it Mr. Church- ill took the stand and said ;there was not q word of truth in the charges against him.
