PIHA CASE
JUDGE'S TRIBUTE
POLICE OFFICERS
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
AUCKLAND, This Day,
Before adjourning the Supreme Court last night Mr. Justice Fair paid a tribute to the work of the police in the
Piha case,
"I think I should express my appreciation of the very full and competent work done by the police officers engaged in the inquiry and also their work in arranging the evidence, both for the preliminary investigation and for this Court," he said. "Prompt detection and punishment of a crime is one of the greatest factors in suppressing it, and the capable presentation of the evidence has resulted in a large number of witnesses testifying to a large number of facts in a comparatively short space of time.
"I now desire to thank the jury for the very careful consideration they have given the case."
