THE STAGPOOLE CASE.
TWO MORE WRITS ISSUED
BY TELEQKAPH—PRESS ASBOCIATIOH.
PALMERSTON N., May 9. Two further writs in the Stagpoole cases were served to-day by Mr C. A. Loughnan on behalf of Thomas Stagpoole. Messrs Nash and Coombe each received a writ for £1000 damages for publishing in the Manawatu Standard the statement of defence of Frederick Pirani, into which the paragraphs frem the Feilding Star, originally complained of, had been interpolated. There was a denial in the statement of defence that the recently-formed company of Frederick Pirani and Co., Ltd., were proprietors of the Feilding Star on March 18, when the paragraphs forming the subject of the libel action were published. Messrs Loughnan and Jacobs, as solicitors for Stagpoole, have now sued Frederick Pirani and Co., Ltd., for £1000 damages in connection with a publication of the statement of defence in the Feilding Star on a subsequent date.
