SIMILARITY OF NAMES.

A REGRET EXPRESSED. (Per Press .Association.) Wellington, May 20. In a Press Association message which was telegraphed from Wellington on April 29 it was stated one Georgo Webby, who had pleaded guilty to a charge of incest at Otaki was sentenced by the Supreme Court to seven years’ reformative detention. Unfortunately the name of the accused was shortened in tho report. His full name is Edward Georgo Webby , and ho was generally known as “Edward” Webby. This correction is made to avoid the possibility of any confusion between tlio accused and any other person with a partially similar name, and the Press Association expresses its regret for any annoyance that tho original message may have caused.
