£3OO FOR SLANDER
JUDGMENT AGAINST EX-CONVICT CONTENTS OF PAMPHLET Press Association DUNEDIN, Today. Judgment by confession for £3OO was entered against Abraham Alfred Lind in the Magistrate’s Court this morning in an action for slander brought against him by Ernest Goodall and Prudence Alice Goodall. The action arose from the publication of a pamphlet when Lind was released from prison last year, after serving a term for indecent assault. In this pamphlet, according to the statement of claim, defendant Inferred that plaintiffs criminally conspired to induce Hildah Goodall, their daughter, to give false testimony against Lind on his trial, and received money from the police for inducing her to give false testimony, and endeavoured to obtain further money from Parliament for having persuaded her to give such false testimony. Lind was formerly an evangelist, and the girl Goodall attended his meetings. A printer named George Cooper was joined as defendant in the slander action, as having published the pamphlet, hut it was announced that he had settled his action.
