TAKEN IT OUT.
Mr George Richard Uibbs, who has been incarcerated in Darlinghurst gaol for twelve mouths, for contempt of Court arising out of the non-payment i f £3500 damages and costs awarded by the jury in a slander action instituted by Mr John Shepherd, ex-M.L.A-, was released from custody last week. .Mr Dibbs has not found bis detention very irksome, for bis quarters were well furnished and Ins visitors numerous. Then, again, in the complications of his insolvent estate, it has bee necessary that bo should put in an appearance at the Law Courts at least once a week. These outings kept him before the public, and now ho once more enjoys unrestricted association with his friends. Of the latter he has many, and his plucky action in going into gaol rather than allow the sum to be paid, has increased his popularity instead of diminishing it.
