The Bryce-Rusden Libel Suit
The ill-advised action which Mr Bryee is bringing against old "Rusden for libel will, I fear, cost him dear. Instead of getting any satisfaction out of the man, he'll simply adverti.se his .history, and give its sale on the seppnd haud book stalls a temporary fihp. I have not been able to interview., Mr Bryce yet, but* to some queries' of mine, he writes : - Lit Tffere is'reuliy nothing new in my action. ' I had hoped it would be on by this time* but my opponent has been fertile in finding pretences for delay and the state of uncertainty still remains. I. nevertheless entertain hopes that the case may be heard before the Chrutnins vacation, but these' hopes are becoming fainter than they were. ; The brisfs,T believe, 1 on both sides, are almost ready tor Counsel, but I fancy that in view of the uncertainty, as to the time of trial, they hare not been finally engaged. But in that, as in all other ' things connected with the case, there appears to be an uncomfortable degree of uncertainty. Clearly Mr Bryce is not in love with our, English law processes. Depend upon it he'll be still, less so presently. — London Correspondent of Auckland Star.
