THE RAWSON ENQUIRY.
[BY TELEGRAPH. —PRESS ASSOCIATION.] New Plymouth, Monday. At the Rawson enquiry, to-day, Joshua Jones' charges were taken. Jones called Mr. Rawson as a witness to give evidence, but Mr. Samuel said Mr. Rawson, acting under his instructions, declined to submit himself for examination. Jones also attempted to bring forward a new witness to prove that the natives had perjured themselves on the assault case, when Jones was fined by Mr. Rawson for assaulting the natives. The Commissioners ruled that no new witnesses could be called, only those witnesses that appeared before Mr. Rawson during the hearing of the case. Jones then said it would be impossible for him to proceed with his charges if he could not get the evidence he wanted. The Commission adjourned till to-morrow, when other persons who have laid charges but have failed to appear to support them, will be finally called upon to do so. The Commission is therefore now practically closed.
