§ 74. Privileges in action for libel. A civil action cannot be

maintained against any person, firm or corporation, for the publication

of a fair and true report of any judicial proceeding, legislative

proceeding or other official proceeding, or for any heading of the

report which is a fair and true headnote of the statement published.

This section does not apply to a libel contained in any other matter

added by any person concerned in the publication; or in the report of

anything said or done at the time and place of such a proceeding which

was not a part thereof.
