THE RONGOTEA CASE.
SENTENCE ON HEALEY DEFERRED. Smiling and apparently unware of the gravity of the extremely serious charge against him, Owen Richard Healey, seventeen and a-half years of age, the lad who was apprehended at Masterton recently for a serious offence against a married woman, the wife of his employer, at Rongotea, stepped in the dock at the Supreme Court at Wellington on Monday. The prisoner was not represented by counsel. He had nothing to say. The police report said Mr Maeussey, for the Crown, was to the effect that the prisoner did not appre mate his position: he did not take it at all seriously. The crime had been deliberately planned and carried out. His Honour, Mr Justice Chapman, .•clared that he would defer sentence in this case until later in the week.
