Maize Acreage
To n visitor to the Poverty Bay district there appears to be ye.rj little maize planted in the vicinity of Gisborne this year. Although the district is looking particularly, well for this time of the year, the maize that is in evidence is rather backward a> a result of tihe late planting season. A few of the crops seen were only a few inches high. Law's Long Arm Two charges of obtaining £2 and £1 by fa'se pretences in June, 1921 e were made, in the Magistrate's Court Wellington, against a 1 62 year old labourer. Before he was asked to plead, Detective-Sergeant J. Thompson said that there was a warrant issued for his- arrest in 1921 and he had now been located and brought before the court, but because of the lapse of time the evidence that would have been brought against hiin was now available,, and the only thing the police could, do was to ask that the charges shoujd be withdrawn. To this* Mr W. F. Stilwell, S.M., consented.
