Libel Action.
Sydney, June 19. Charles Seymour Allen has recovered £I,OOO damages against Daniel Lehare Willis, as proprietor and publisher of the paper, Truth, for libel contained in an article published in that journal. It appears that Mr Allen married a daughter of Mr Perkin, Member of the Legislative Council, Queensland, and shortly afterwards visited England. The article in the Truth alleged that an English swell had married a Brisbane society lady and 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.
