[BEE TJNITBD PRBSS ASSOCIATION. |
Wellington, Monday night. At the Supreme Court to-day, Tulii, alias Tuhiata, ali&a Korea, was arraigned on the charge of murdering Miss Dobie. He pleaded " not guilty." Mr. Forwood, the counsel for the defence, made an application for the postponement of the trial, on the ground that the defence required that Colonel Roberts should be ia attendance to give evidence — it being said that the prisoner had made a statement to him on cortain inducements previous to Tuhi making his confession. After the argument it was found that one of the witnesses in tbe case, now in Wellington, was present during tbe conversation with Colonel Roberts, and therefore the adjournment was not necessary.
