TRIAL DELAYED
NO ROOM FOR ACCUSED MEN ON STEAMER ASSOCIATION TKLEUUAM.j AUCKLAND, July 23. Auckland Is completely cut off from the north by flood waters which have blocked both road and rail. One effect of the loss'of communication was that a trial at the Supreme Court of two men. accused of sheep-stealing could not proceed. Fourteen police witnesses and a detective who were coming bv train to Auckland yesterday had to return to Whangarei, but the detective telegraphed to Whangarei first and booked reservations on. the steamer Claymore for Auckland. He and his witnesses got aboard, but the two accused men arrived on the wharf to find the ship full, and they were unable to get a passage, even though they offered to do stoking. To-day the accused were still In Whangarei, while the witnesses waited m Auckland.
