CHARGES A YEAR OLD On charges of stealing goods, more than a year ago, George Albert Hedley Nixon, who appeared before Mr. F. K.

Two further charges of break ing and entering, and stealing goods to the value of £2B front Frank Parks, St. Stephen’s Avenue, and Irene Zoe Elizabeth Wilson, Nortlicote, last year, were also preferred against hint. Nixon, who was represented by Mr. Aekins, pleaded not guilty. Chief-Detective Hammond asked for a further remand for a fortnight. An important witness had to be brought front Wellington. Mr. Aekins: Nixon is now serving three months in gaol, and it is hardly fair to him that he should be remanded agin. We would like these charges cleared up. Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M., granted a final remand until Augfist 7.
