The following story is from the Christohurch Weekly Press:—" In reference to the interest whioh Sir Juliui Vogel is now taking in the alleged flogging of a girl in the Newtown sohool, a correspondent informs us that this is not the first time that Sir Julius occupied a prominent position in connection with suoh a matter. Very many -years, ago in Diraedin, when Mr Vogel was editor of the Daily Times and also member of the Provincial Executive, a question of the same kind engaged the publio attention. An exclergyman of the Church of England was teacher of ono of the gold field schools. It -was said that he Hogged a girl, but, unlike the mistreiß of the Rewtown school, it was not to the hand he applied the oane; Mr Vogel was quite as chivalrous then as now, and expressed himself with great warmth on the subject at a meetirg of the offioial body of whioh he was a member. A' report of I the proceedings appeared in the Otago Daily Times. The teacher considered himself, aggrieved, and brought an action against the paper. , The result was a verdict for the ! plaintiff for £250 and oostß. The matter I was sent to the Court of Appeal, but without any benefit to the proprietors of the Times, of [ whom Mr Vogel was one.
