REHEARING SOUGHT
REFUSAL BY MAGISTRATE. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, June 14. An application for a rehearing of a theft charge dealt with in December, 1929, was refused by Mr Page, S.M., to-day, on the ground that there had been unreasonable delay in making it. He added that the affidavits that had been, filed contained little relevant matter that was not before the Court at the hearing. The application was made on behalf of Rudolph von Gruber, who was convicted on a charge of stealing a pair of field glasses and fined, at the time £2, with £5 18s costs. In an affidavit Gruber explained the delay by a statement that he was then resident in Auckland. He found the legal charges beyond him and the position was complicated by the fact that he was advised that he would have to come to Wellington for the rehearing.
