PROFESSOR AND PAPER.
ALLEGED LIBEL ACTION. VON ZEIDLITZ AND N.Z. TIMES. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. The hearing of a claim for £IOOO for alleged libel, by George von Zeidlitz, professor of languages, against the New Zealand Times, commenced before His Honor Sir Bassett Edwards and a jury of twelve to-dav.
The alleged libel was the publication, on July 29, IPIO, of a leister containing the words: "In 1014 the German alien enemy on the Victoria College stall was arrested for a breach of the War Regulations, and was released by one of our Ministers as a German alien enemy prisoner on "parole, and, although such, was re-instated by the Council, which declined a proffered resignation." And also the following words: "The munificent compensation for an alien enemy, declared to be a prisoner of war, for a punishable offence against, the realm, by the Victoria College Council at the public expense, contrasts strangely with the conditions under which our soldiers are treated after years of service, hard fighting, and suffering on their discharge." Ths hearing was not concluded, and will be resumed to-morrow morning, when the defendant company's case will be heard.
