The Daily News announces that the Earl of Lucan has

commenced an ac- tion against that journal for libel. The libel was an article on the Chelsea Inquiry, which appeared in the paper of the 26th July. The Daily News offered to open its columns to Lord Liman : he rejected the offer, and de- manded an apology. Next, he was requested to point out the passages re- garded as libellous : he refused. The alternative was an apology or an ac- tion. The proprietors of the journal have resolved to meet the Earl in a -court of law.
