THE RONGOTEA CASE.
SENTENCE ON HEALEY DEFERRED. Smiling and apparently unaware of the gravity of the extremely serious charge against him, Owen Richard Healey, seventeen and a half years of age, the lad who was apprehended at Masterton recently for a serious offence against a married woman, the wife of his employer, at Rongotea, stepped in the dock at the Supreme Court, at Wellington, on Monday. The prisoner was not represented by counsel. He had nothing to say. The police report, said Mr Macassey, for the Crown, was to the effect that the prisoner did not appreciate his position ; he did not take it at all seriously. The crime had been deliberately planned and carried out. His Honour, Mr Justice Chapman, declared that he would defer' sentence in this case until later in the week.
