LATE NEW ZEALAND NEWS.

mm i ■——. (Per Pr#ss Association.) AUCKLAND, this day. TJie dead body of a man believed to be George Henry Casin has' been found in the harbor. , . WELLINGTON, this day, William Craig was charged at the Magistrate's Court %ith printing leaflets without giving his 'inipriot and address thereon. The charges* arose out of recent cases in which William Parker was sentenced for circulating seditious leaflets. Defendant was fined £5 on each of three charges. The magistrate said that, in view of the circumstances that tho leaflets were printed at Craig's works without his 'knowledge, he would be prepared to remit part of the fine if the matter was referred back to him by the Minister of Justice. CHRISTCHURCH*, this day. Referring to a cable from Sydney stating that stranded New Zealanders were dissatisfied at what they claimed to be disoriminj^ion in allowing soldiers and munition Workers to return to New .Zealand .'while civilians, were debarred, the Hon. Mr. Russell .said he was surprised at the statement, as no Ministerial authority, had been given for relaxation of the embargo. While appreciating the work of soldiers and munition workers, he could not differentiate between different classes of the community. If. the Health. Department had cabled permission it .was done on its own Responsibility. The matter would be enquired into. He had received information from Wellington that a small body of soldiers was en route to New Zealand, but no consent was given to the Defence Department to transfer them or munition workers. Until there were more effective quarantine stations that embargo would be rigidly enforced. With regard to strayed New Zealanders a cable had now been forwarded to the ■ Government agent, au- j thorising him to make necessary ad-' vances for their maintenance. The adjournedV inquest on the body of Thomas Keighley, who died of injuries as the result of being knocked down on April 21 by a motor car, driven by M. Edwards, was resumed this morning. The coroner returned' a verdict that death was due to injuries through being run over by a motor car, but that there was no evidence of negligent driving. He added' a ":rider that now fast traction had) beei) sanctioned' over Highways ahd drivers were using the same or Ir'gher standard of car than previously existed, pedestrians should keep to jthe foot oaths as' much as possible, and j should keen looking out for possible .danger. The rider was added, not tp j induce carelessness or recklessness oh the part of a motorist, but to induce all to exercise care. Tlie body of Frank Ernest Goodman, who disappeared on April 9tb, was found yesterday on New Brighton beach, much decomposed. Dec&nsed met, with an accident nine years ago and injured his brain. Tlie coroner returned a verdict ,of suicide while in. an unsound state of mind.
