§ Sir E. HUME-WILLIAMSasked the Attorney-General what was the extract from another paper or statement incorporated by Mr. Campbell in his article which was the subject of the recent abandoned prosecution; what steps have been taken to ascertain the author of the said statement; and whether it is intended to take any proceedings against the person in question?
The ATTORNEY-GENERALThe extract referred to in this question appeared to be a column of printed matter, apparently cut out from some publication, but the Director of Public Prosecutions was unable to give me any sufficient evidence upon which any action could be taken. Under those circumstances, it is impossible for me to take any of the steps suggested.
