The Women's Committee are anxious to comply with the request, but not having the funds in hand (fully £350 16 wanted for this puiposo alone) will welcome contributions to the object.

The Publicity Committee of the Dunedin Expansion League met last evening, Mr J. Inglis Wright presiding.

Mr E. J3. Wilson was elected a member of the committee. At the monthly meeting of the Maori Hill Fire Board yesterday the superintendent (Mr G.

Afi stated in our issue of Thursday last, the libel action M'Nab v. Wellington Publishing Company, in which Dr Robert M'Nab claimed £I,OOO from the publishers of the 'Dominion' newspaper, wae settled out of court. The ground of the action was the publication on Jrj* 1 of a letter signed "R. S. Carrick" (iNelson), alleging that the writer got together the data for the New Zeala-.id Historical Records, and that Dr M'Nao bad nothing whatever to do with them. The historical records were submitted as part of Dr M'Nab'e claim to the.degree of doctor of literature, and the letter signed by Mr Carrick concluded : "Of course, I am well pleased to find they ar© deemed of sufficient merit to shunt Dr M'Nab on to the upper grade in literary fame; but I think you will agree with me that it is 6<Sarcely fair he should get all the kudos, seeing he did absolutely-none'Of the work." The tenn» of the settlement are that the 'Dominion' is to publioty -express its regret for insering the letter, and. to pub-holy *tate that any imputation the Jetter contains that Djr M'Nab "a*" l * &°t> ..$«. «*>'« editor, and oompiW of the s6w SSeal&nd Historical Records, or any imputation that be obtained his dMtofate of literature by submitting any work of which he was not the true, and sole author, was absolutely without foundation. Df M'Nab does not desire to accept damages, and it is made a condition of the nettlement of the action that th# 'Dominion' contribute• £IOO to the patriotic fund, in additign. to jwying Dr M'Xab's cost* in iuH< ... . i ■
