At Leeston last week George Phillip Ireland, a member of the Ellesmere Mounted Rifles, was brought up on a charge of tne murder of Peter Bong, another member. The case arose out of the shooting of Boag, which happened a few days ago, the jury at the inquest finding that the fatal shot was discharged from Ireland’s rifle. The police said that, after an exhaustive inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the fatality, they had no evidence to offer in support of the charge of murder. Accused was discharged.
