RESIDENT MAGISTRATE’S
COURT, GISBORNE. The Resident Magistrate’s Court, presided over by Captain Preece, R.M., was occupied during the whole of Thursday and Friday, in the investigation of three charges of forgery and uttering, against a Native named Tamati Hautapu. On the first day the Court sat until 10.30 p.m., and yesterday, until the last hour Mr Preece could attend prior to his departure for Napier. The evidence taken in each was case very similar; the same ground was travelled over, and the same witnesses examined to some extent, which, together with the tedious translations and transcriptions from one language to another, rendered it impossible to publish in our columns. At the conclusion of the third case the prisoner was remanded to Tuesday, the 3rd January. Poynter v. Turnbull—Claim £2 Is. Reiustaled for Tuesday the 3rd January. M. Mullooly v. J. McFraser-— Claim £lO, value of a horse. Defendant ordered to return the animal or to pay £lO. Two other cases were struck out.
