(from our own correspondent.) DUNEDIN. October 12. Stamper v AVilson. The Bench, in dismissing this case, remarked that the prosecution in making such a serious charge, particularly as applied to a professional gentleman of standing, should have exercised more care in enquiring into particulars. From the fact of the prosecutor being a lawyer himself, he should have known he had no case ; it was to be regretted that the defendant had been brought such a distance, and at so much inconvenience; the charge would be dismissed, and Mr AVilson left the court without a stain on his. character. The daily papers have sub-leaders on the matter, and deal strongly with it, sympathising with Mr Wilson. An action has been already commenced in the Supreme Court for £2,000 pounds damages.
