INCITING PROHIBITED PERSON .TO DRINK. SENSATIONAL EVIDENCE. Per Press Association,, WANGANUI, last night.. In the Police Court, a woman named Neary was fined the full penalty of £lO for inciting ■ a prohibited person to drink. There was a somewhat sensational ending to the case in which a man was charged with supplying liquor to two Maori women. The latter swore that defendant, under threat, compelled them to drink, and then abused them. The evidence of the defendant .was that they helped themselves to the liquor in his absence, and when he i'i'ed to take it, they, assisted by one of their husbands, severely handled him, tied him up, and sent for a policeman. The Magistrate, Mr Kettle, dismissed the information, indicating that gross perjury had been committed by. the Native .witnesses..
