THE NEW KING.
LIBELS HEFUTED
Dniteu Press Association—By'Electric Telegraph Capy right , Received June 21, 9.20 a.m. LONDON, June 20. The Very Rev. Dr Wakefield, of Norwich, addressing a congregation composed of members of a friendly society, said that an accusation against of insobriety was a libel. He (the Dean) vyas one of the King's closest friends. "I know that he is never intemperate; even from tha point of view of his health he has to be abstemious." Equally untrue, added the Dean, was it that King George had con tracted a secret marriage, by which he had children, before he married Princess Mary. (It i 3 well known that certain evilminded persons in Great Britain make a practice of deliberately circulating falsehoods regarding the members of the Royal Family. Usually no notice is taken of them, bat sometimes they reach the colonies as was the case in the present charge.)
