    The defendant, the editor and proprietor of a newspaper, published articles which referred to the ‘Calcutta Police”, without naming individuals. The plaintiffs, six of the members of the Calcutta Police force, jointly sued the editor for damages, alleging that the articles were directed against them, and that they constituted a libel. Here a libel was in the same words, and in the same documents, but of different persons.

    Explanation:

    - Option 1: The plaintiffs could not all be joined in one suit.

    - This suggests each plaintiff's complaint is individual because the article did not specifically name them, making group litigation inappropriate.

    - Option 2: There cannot in such cases be said to be one or the same cause of action.

    - This implies that since the article does not identify specific plaintiffs, each plaintiff's grievance is separate.

    - Option 3: Both (A) and (B).

    - Combines both options, stating that each plaintiff should individually prove how the libel personally applies to them and their specific harm.

    - Option 4: None of these.

    - This would mean neither option 1 nor option 2 applies, which is unlikely here.

    Correct Answer: Option 3 - Both (A) and (B).
