NORTHERN MAORIS REMANDED
1 Special to “Northern Advocate.”! AUCKLAND, This Day. Of five prisoners who appeared before Mr Justice Fair in the Supreme Court yesterday after having pleaded guilty to various offences, three were sentenced.
Two Maoris, Poneke Paki, aged 26, labourer, and Paki Haora, aged 27, labourer had pleaded guilty before Messrs W, R. Leslie and W. Keith, J.P’s., at Whangaroa on March 6, to charges of attempting to break and enter a shop by night with intent to commit a crime, and with breaking and entering a dwellinghouse by night, and theft therein, while against Poneke Paki there was a further charge of unlawful carnal knowledge of a girl over the age of 12 and under the age of 16.
In their case, however, the judge said that it was uncertain whether their solicitor had been communicated with or whether he had received the communication. It was desirable that counsel for' accused should be present when they were sentenced, and he therefore remanded them for a week.
