MAN’S TRIAL DELAYED
Accused Sent Back To Prison (N.Z. Preu AMOCtation) PALMERSTON N., August 2. A man who has already spent three months in custody awaiting trial will have to spend another three months there because no Supreme Court fixture is available in Palmerston North. The man was arrested in Auckland on May 8 and remanded in custody on a charge of breaking and entering a Palmerston North shop. He was brought down from Auckland Prison for his case which was set down for the hearing at the May sessions of the Supreme Court. Through the delay in other cases the case could not be heard. Three detectives called as witnesses returned to Auckland with the prisoner. The man was brought back to Palmerston North on Wednesday, accompanied by a prison warder. The same detectives also arrived to give evidence, but with the prisoner and the warder, they returned to Auckland tonight. The man will be returned to Auckland Prison to await another fixture date in three months’ time.
