the right to determine the law and the facts under he direction i f the court as in other cases the law wns noi doubted in other cases of indict ments for crimes and mi-di l neauors that juries could determine the law as well as the facts but ill libel cases prior to this constitutional provision judges were laying down the law to the juries that thev should mild the fact of publication of the article named in the indictment and if the jury lie satis lied that the defendant published the article sh out in the hill then the court charges you that the article is libelous and you must convict now the jury by our constitution mu-t hnd two things lirst that the defendant did publish the article and second thai the article is libelous before they can render a verdict of guilty hut there is
