THE WAIKATO TRIALSAuckland.—Judge Gillies in charging the Grand Jury said there were 21 prisoners. Eudence in Winiata’s case would be simple, but in the case of Pakara and Epiha, proof of guilt would hang on the identification of prisoners with those who fired at McWilliams. As to the charge against Fairburn of being illegally on the Rev, Mr Gitto’s premises, he pointed out that unless it could be proved the prisoners was there with a felonious intent the case must fall through. In the cases of rape on children under 12 years of age, he pointed out that consent on part of person raped was not an element of defence. .
