A CORRECTION.
(Per Press Association. ) WELLINGTON, May 20. In a Press Association message which was telegraphed from Wellington on April 29 it was stated that one George Webby, who had pleaded guilty to a charge of incest at Otaki, was sentenced by the Supreme Court to seven years’ reformative detention. Unfortunately, the name of accused was shortened in the report. His full name is Edward George Webby, and he was generally known as li Edward Webby. This correction is made to avoid the possibility of- confusion between the accused and any other person with a partially similar name, and the Press Association expresses its regret for any annoyance that the original message may have' caused.
