TECHNICALITY n. In an ordsprog

en TECHNICALITY, n. In an English court a man named Home was tried for slander in having accused his neighbor of murder.

The defendant was acquitted by instruction of the court, the learned judges holding that the words did not charge murder, for they did not affirm the death of the cook, that being only an inference.
