ALLEGED LIBEL.
£5,000 CLAIMED. A Napier telegram to the ' New Zealand Times' states that Mr H. Lan Simson, who was a candidate at the last General Election for the Hawke's Bay seat, and has announced his intention of standing for the same seat nest December, has instructed his solicitors, Messrs Kennedy, Busk, and Marling, to issue a writ claiming £5,000 damages against the Hastings 'Tribune' and Air George Nelson, writer of a letter which appeared in Saturday's paper, and which contains certain alleged libelous statements affecting Air Simson's social and political standing. If the case goes to the Court it will prove more than usually interesting.
