The Omahu murder case was resumed to-day. Several native witnesses were examined. Among them were Te Moano and Iraia Karauria, the brother-in law and brother of the deceased, respectively, and Miriama, wife of one of the ploughmen. Each of them gave evidence as to having seen prisoner shoot the murdered man, and Miriama also slated that she had taken away the weapon from prisoner after three shots had been fired. The court adjourned at 630 p.m. until to-morrow, the jury being again locked up. It is expected that the case for the Crown will occupy all day to-morrow, and as a number ot witnesses will be called for the defence, the case will not be concluded before Saturday.
