Damages for Libel.
* Sydney, June 18. Chas. Seymour Allen has recovered £1000 damages against Daniel Tehane Willis, as proprietor aud publisher of the paper Truth, for a libel contained in an article published in that journal. It appears Allen married a daughter of Mr Perkins, member of the Legislative Council of Queensland, and shortly afterwards visited England. The article in Truth alleged that an English swell had married a Brisbane society lady, had stolen her jewels, and deserted her. The article in question did not mention any names, but the remarks were generally recognised by Allen's friends as referring to him, though the charge was baseless.
