POKENO ARREST
MAORI CHARGED IN COURT ACCUSED'S BULLET WOUND Charges of being a rogue and a vagabond, being found in possession of housebreaking implements at Pokeno on December 5, and of breaking and entering the shop of the Farmers' Trading Company at Pokeno on December 5 with intent to commit a crime, were preferred against a Maori, George Frederick Murphy, in the Police Court on Saturdav before Mr. Wyvern Wilson, S.M.

Mr. Sullivan, who appeared for accused, said his client was still crippled as the result of being shot in the abdomen and had already been punished very severely. He had said he had a complete answer to the charge. A remand until January 14 was granted, bail being refused.
