PROTECTION OF MORALS
DETAILS OF DIVORCE CASE. BILL TO REGULATE REPORTS. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. In moving in the House of Representatives to-day for leave to introduce the judicial proceedings (regulation of reports) Bill, Mr. P. Fraser said it proposed to regulate reports so as to prevent injury to the public morals, and it was based on the same lines as the Act‘in force in Great Britain. It provided that in reporting actions for divorce, separation, etc., only the essential portions should be published. 'Those portions which were not in the public interest and were liable to damage the morals, especially those of young people, should not be published. Mr. Fraser stated that while the British Act had at first been regarded with a certain amount of misgiving it would now be difficult after the measure had been in operation some time to find a single voice raised against it.
The Bill was introduced and read a first time.
