GUILTY OF PERJURY
MAORI SENT TO GAOL. [ Per Press Association. I AUCKLAND, July 25. Walter Te Pania, aged 30, was sentenced by Mr. Justice Smith to-day to six months’ hard labour for perjury. The Judge said that accused when prosecuted for shooting pheasants without a license told the magistrate that he had a license and, though warned four times by the magistrate, persisted in the statement. He had asked the rr/iger to date his license May 13, and when the ranger refused and dated it May 15, accused altered it to the 13th. It was impossible to do anything but impose a simple term of imprisonment.
