WELLINGTON, January I),

Knim iiH|uiiic-s at official sources, it appears tln* information in Llic cablegram from Suva re Indians, is not based on facts known to tlie customs autfioritios in New Zealand. It is also apparent the message was sent in ignorance of the conditions under which Indians are permitted to come into Mow Zealand, as permanent residents. A permit is necessary under the; Act of 11)20. They can land as visitors or for business reasons, on proof of their intentions, and that they! intend to leave again within sixj months. j TIIEI'T CHARGE. j C M IMS rCII I'lH'i I, .January !). j In the. .Magistrate’s Court, .John:] Lagan, a {red 81, a clerk, came before | .Mr .Mosley, S.M., charged with theft! df a postal packet containing L‘l (is in * postal notes, the properly of the Post-j master-Genoral. lie was remanded till j January loth.
