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.
