THE PRESS AND LIBEL.
JUDGE’S TRIBUTE TO PAPERS, By Telegraph.— Press Association. Wellington, June 8. The position of New Zealand newspapers under the laws of libel was summed up by Mr. Justice Salmond in the Supreme Court yesterday, when he was instructing the special jury in the New Zealand Times libel case. “If,” said his Honor, “a newspaper is proved to have been guilty of publishing a libel it must pay up and avoid further libels in future.” He referred to the libel laws and their strictness. “The New Zealand Press,” he remarked, “pari be commended for the remarkable rigour with which it keeps out of its pages defamatory references to individuals and articles of unsavoury character.”
