Spiritualists in Trouble.
(PEG PBESS ASSOCIATION.) Wellington, May 17 Hacketts, who were before the Court yesterday, are young people, apparently brother and sister, not man and wife, who have been doing a rather extensive business in the spiritualistic line, charging £5 for a seance. Among the accessories seized were gauze for producing departed spirits and phosphorized oil with which the necessary ghostly light was obtained. Two charges were preferred against them of conspiracy to defraud and pretended enchantment. Seances are said to have been freely attended by people of good position, many of whom evidently believed in the reality of the spirits who appeared.
