Clerk Remanded To Appear At Suva (New Zealand Press Association) AUCKLAND, October 29. A police officer from Fiji applied before Mr W. S. Spence. S.M., in the Auckland Magistrate’s Court today, to have George Arnold McEwan, aged 44, a clerk, remanded in his custody to Suva to answer a charge of theft. McEwan was arrested in Auckland at the week-end and charged that between February and March as a servant of the Fijian Affairs Board he stole £B5O. Assistant-Superintendent I. C. Clow, of Fiji he said knew McEwan personally and the offence for which he was arrested was punishable by law in the colony and was one to which part two of the Imperial Fugitive Offenders Act applied.
The Magistrate ordered that McEwan be remanded back to Fiji in Mr Clow’s custody “to be dealt with as if he had been apprehended there.”
