POLICE TACKLE "TRUTH."
ALLEGEDLY INDECENT, IMMORAL AND OBSCENE. (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, March 3. It is likely that police prosecutions to prohibit the sale af Sydney Truth will be instituted throughout New Zealand during this month. As the result of investigations made by the Wellington p.olice, an information has been laid against a local news agent that he "did sell printed matter, to wit, the newspaper known as Sydney Truth, which said printed matter is, as to parts thereof, of an indecent, immoral, and obscene nature." The case was called on at the Stipendiary Magistrate's Court, when Mr Myers appeared for the prosecution. An application to have the case remanded for two weeks was made by defendant, George Ewart. - Counsel intimated that the proprietor of the newspaper, John Norton, was anxious to be present at the hearing of the case. A remand was made to March 20.
