RUA'S TRIAL.
THE VERDICT. By Telegraph—Press Association. Auckland Last Night. Mr. Justice Chapman concluded his summing up in the Kua case at noon. He said that the oustanding fact of the march upon jHaungapohatu was that it was cQiisidcred by the Government to be a very serious ali'air. The jury had to consider the effects of seditious utterances, uttered when the Empire was i" extreme peril and when every man was called upon for loyalty to the King, and whether the utterances, alleged, against accused, were calculated to creati discontent.
The jury, after deliberating for six and a half hours, found accused guilty ot Jresising the police at Waiiti, and not guilty of using seditious language. On the Maungapohatu charges of counselling to murder and counselling to do grievious bodily harm, they disagreed. The judge intimated lie would defer h>s decision as to what course he would take until the morning.
