THE HUTT TARRING CASE,
Wellington, October 5,
Contrary to general expectation, the Grand Jury returned a true bill against J. Walden's charged with tarring Sydney Nimmo Muir, at the Hutt in August last. It is said some fresh evidence has been obtained for the prosecution, and that some interesting if not startling disclosures may be anticipated. The case has created as much interest here as the East and West Coast Railway in consequence of the high position some of the parties occupy, one of them being a Minister of the Crown. He might well exclaim, "Save me from my friends!" It is even stated that not alone have party politics been imported into the case, but the old world quarrels of orange and green are mixed up in the hotchpotch.
