LAST NIGHT'S TELEGRAMS.
Wellington,
A peculiar case has been decided by the Resident Magistrate. A man named Daniel Egan divested himself of all his property, and settled it upon hu wife, who subsequently obtained a protection order against him, and is now earning a livelihood from the property. The evidence given showed that Ifigan was unfit for manual labor, and the R.M. held that he was entitled to £1 per week.
Two actions for slander will be heard shortly. One is brought by Mrs Woodley, landlady of tbe Bank Hotel, against George Leslie, claiming £500 damages for slanderous statements regarding her character. The second action arises out of differences between Mr Richards, the head master of the Government school at the Lower Hutt, and parents of children attending the school. MiRichards claims £500 from each of J. H. Caverhill and P. Speedy, whom he alleges made slanderous statements at a public meeting concerning his conduct to the children.
