NELSON COURT.
(Press Association.) Nelson, April 15,
A man named Leonard Thomas Easton, alias William Wilson, who was convicted at Napier of a serious offence and sentenced to three years’ imprisonment, was charged to-day with burning a store at Croixelles about twelve months ago. The information was the result of accused’s own confession to Detective Hili and in his statement he also confessed to having burned down a stable near Stoke. Accused pleaded not guilty, and crossexamined the witnesses shrewdly. He was committed to the District Court on a charge of wilfully burning the property above referred to.
