A RECAPTURED PRISONER.
Makes Strong Charges Against the Warder. Judge Orders an Enquiry to be Made. [per press association.] Wellington, Dec 10. Edward Wilson, who escaped from gaol a couple of months ago, entered and broke into a whare and stole some of the contents, and made a desperate attack on a constable with a tomahawk, when being rearre?ted. He was tried at the Supreme Court to-day and found guilty. In hi'3 address to the jury the prisoner made charges of harshness against the warder in charge of the prison gang, which both the jury and judge considered should be enquired into. The judge also considered his discretion in his conduct, and that proved the assault. The prisoner was sentenced to ono year upon completion of hi? present term.
