ALLEGED SLANDERS.
CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES. [Pee Press Association.! SYDNEY, March 25. Two interesting actions in which Alfred Webb, manager of EUerslie Station, claims .£2OOO, and Miss Larpent, his adopted daughter, £SOOO damages from Cyril Darcy Leaver, Webb’s nephew, for alleged ■ slanders, are proceeding. The case for the , plaintiffs shows that while Leaver-was staying at EUerslie he became engaged to Miss Larpent, but they quarrelled, and the engagement was broken off. Leaver left the station, and subsequently wrote letters to Webb and Miss Larpent’s father, containing insinuations regarding the moral relations between the plaintiffs. These letters form the grounds of the actions. The evidence brought to light the fact that Miss Larpenffs presence at EUerslie led to Mrs Webb separating fromher husband, he agreeing to make her an allowance. Leaver recently inherited £50,000 in England. 1
