£75 FOR A NURSE
LIBEL CLAIM, (By Telegraph—Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, August 1. Ella Miller, registered nurse, was to-day awarded £75 damages, when Mr E. Page, S.M., gave reserved judgment in her libel action against Mrs E. Williams, apartment house keeper. The nurse’s action was based upon remarks made by Mrs Williams on the telephone, when she said to the secretary of the. Nurses’ Club that Nurse Killer “had a man in her room until four o’clock in the morning.” The Magistrate held that qualified privilige could not be sustained in the circumstances. In evidence, a fellow lodger admitted that she had had a man in her apartment at a late hour, but Nurse Miller did not.
