WANGANUI LIBEL ACTION
Wanganui,* .Tune 8. Counsel - for' Stubbs in. the libel action, Against the W<an?nnui "Chronicle" ' has pointed out that a portion of the Press Association .telegram may be misconstrued. The sentence which in counsel s opinion requires elucidating is: "The evidence showed that tho reporter understood that; the cases cited referred _to Court incidents lons past, and with which all the persons connected had passed away, and further that the information, ivas' accurate." Tho impression, is not meant to he 'conveyed that the information wasaccurate, but that it was underF tood to.be accurate owing 'to the soiirco from which it was obtained. As a matter of fact, when Stubbs was charged with manslaughter twenty-seven years ago, the charpe was dismissed by tho magistrate owing to a conflict of evidence as to the amount of forco used in ejecting tho old Maori from the hotel.
