In the United States ,
the remedy for defamation is by an action on the case ,
where the words are slanderous .
3 .
In England ,
besides the remedy by action ,
proceedings may be instituted in the ecclesiastical court for redress of the injury .
The punishment for defamation ,
in this court ,
is payment of costs and penance enjoined at the discretion of the judge .
When the slander has been privately uttered ,
the penance may be ordered to be performed in a private place ;
when publicly uttered ,
the sentence must be public ,
as in the church of the parish of the defamed party ,
in time of divine service ,,
and the defamer may be required publicly to pronounce that by such words ,
naming them ,
as set forth in the sentence ,
he had defamed the plaintiff ,
and ,
therefore ,
that he begs pardon ,
first ,
of God ,
and then of the party defamed ,
for uttering such words .
