Doderidge, J. Join all the words together and the action lies. Yet had they been spoken separately, no action would have lain. But here it is alledged that Ann was the wife of another, at the time those words were spoken, *so it is a scandal: and the other words, killing, &c. shall be understood killing unlawfully.

UpLaw has not yet analyzed Keymer v. Clark. The absence of a flag is not a finding that it is good law.

Doderidge, J.

Join all the words together and the action lies. Yet had they been spoken separately, no action would have lain. But here it is alledged that Ann was the wife of another, at the time those words were spoken, *so it is a scandal: and the other words, killing, &c. shall be understood killing unlawfully.
