HAWERA.
February 25. Wilkinson, the Receiver of Land Revenue, was brought up on remand yesterday charged with embezzling £16 3s. Mr Barleyman, tbe Crown prosecutor, a«ked for a further remand, as the officer from tbe Treasury was up investigating the accounts, but had not yet been able to go through them all. Mr Ward, the solicitor for Wilkinson, opposed the remand, but the bench granted it till Tuesday next. Mr Ward asked that the bail might be reduced, but the request was refused. Mr Ward said that he hoped the Bench had not been swayed by an article which appeared in the Patea Mail of Thursday, and strongly animadverted upon its contents. Mr Barleyman agreed with Mr Ward, and deprecated comments on a case whilst before the Court. The bench agreed with the remarks made by counsel, but stated that he had not been influenced in any way by the comments in the newspaper alluded to.
