LIBEL CASE.
NEWSPAPER AND SOLDIERS. By Telegraph —Press Association. Auckland, Last Night. The final stage was reached to-day in a libel case in which Staff SergeantMajor Charles Dorizac and 21 non-com-missioned officers of King George V Hospital, Rotorua, sued the proprietors of the Rotorua Chronic> for £2200 damages for alleged libel. The case was heard at Hamilton in December, 1919, and the jury gave a lengthy finding and awarded plaintiffs £3 each, they having claimed £lOO each. The judgment was opposed by counsel for the defendants, on legal grounds, and was deferred for argument. Decision was given to-day by Judge Cooper, who upheld the finding of the jury, and judgment was given accordingly.
