A MAORI IN TROUBLE.
(Per Press Association.) AUCKLAND, Sept. 3. A Maori named Jack Pihama, who pleaded not guilty, was committed for trial on a charge of killing James White Hooker on August 11th, and with causing actual bodily harm (by an act of negligence) to Hooker. The evidence showed that Pihama, who allegedly had committed a nuisance in a street, was being pursued by a constable, find ran on the footpath, colliding with Hooker. The latter complained of pains in the abdomen and legs, and was conveyed to the hospital, where he die c ] 18 hours later. The medical evidence was to the effect that death was due to the rupture of a cyst on the kidney, and hemorrhage, and that probably little force from the collision would cause the rupture.
