SEDUCTION OF THE GUARD. By Telegraph—"Press Association. Auckland, February 7. 'At tho Motuihi Court of Inquiry to<Jay Major Sir Robert Walker, General Staff Officer, said the question of increasing the guard was entirely a matter for Headquarters, Wellington. The guard was reduced on the suggestion of General Robin. Witness considered that extra men wero required at Motuihi to prevent the' prisoners escaping and to obviate continual scares. Ho could not say he had ever landed on the island officially, as the' island had nothing to do with District Headquarters. He found that out when he came to Auckland. Major Price, A.A.S., Auckland (recalled), said that Captain Dyer, the previous A.A.S., told him when he made inquiry that District Headquarters was not responsible for the control of Motuihi. Tho inquiry adjourned.
