WELLINGTON.
March 14.
A Maori, named Taipoto, was to-day, by a Bench of Justices, sentenced to two months' imprisonment for a brutal assault on his wife. The police wished the case made an indictable one, but the Bench acepted the plea of guilty of common assault. Mr T. O. Kelsy, of Christchurch, has had an interview with Ministers as to a certain scheme for the construction of the Middle Island east to west railway, by a company. Government promised to consider any specific proposal made in writing.
Daniel C. Maunsell, for a long time past Private Secretary to various Premiers and Ministers, yesterday filed his schedule, and was to-day arrested for the embezzlement of £267 of Government money. It is understood the deficiency is in imprests, made to him from time to time to pay travelling expenses with on Ministerial tours, and for which he has not properly accounted.
