SYDNEY LIBEL ACTION

Settlement Out Of Court (New Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON, May 5. The chief of the New Zealand Criminal Investigation Branch (Superintendent F. N. Aplin) has been informed by cable that he will not be required to give evidence in a Sydney libel action next week. The case brought against the Consolidated Press, Ltd., of Australia, by Gordon Robert McKay, has been settled out of Court. McKay was alleging libel against the Consolidated Press after publication of a story about the Piha fire case. He was one of two men involved in the burhing of a body in a bach at Piha, Auckland, in 1939. Superintendent Aplin, who played a big part in the investigation of the case, had been subpoenaed to give evidence for the defence in the libel action. He was to have flown to Australia today.
