The article discusses the third jury deliberation in Ljubljana, following the re-introduction of jury courts. In 1870, the newspaper of the Carniolan Liberal Germans, the Laibacher Tagblatt (1868-1880) had apparently made libcllious comments aimed at the sexton from Brezje in a contribution it had published on a bewitched innkeeper from Carinthia. In response, the sextan filed a lawsuit against the editor in chief of the Laibachcr Tagblatt, Mr. O. Bamberg. The trial aroused considerable interest in the papers at the time (the Novice, Slovenski narod, Zgodnja dánica, and the Laibachcr Tagblatt), as it was seen as a part of the struggle taking place in Carniola at that time between the Slovenian and the German Party. The plaintiff's counsel occupied a prominent seat in the Slovenian Party, while the defendant's barrister was no less a prominent member of the German Party, which advocated the liberal tendency to reduce the Church's privileges within the Habsburg Monarchy. The trial ended with an acquittal.
