MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
S.M. REFUSES REHEARING, i By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, May I'd. In the Magistrate's Court to-day Mr. Myers applied for the rehearing of the case in which Howard Nattrass, member of the Nattrass and Harris Company, was charged with being a rogue and vagabond in that he was found by night without lawful excuse on the premises of William Strangman. At the original hearing the defendant was bouhd over in £2OO and a surety of £IOO to keep the peace for twelve months. To-day's application was based on an affidavit signed by four men, who declared that they and two others were the persons on the premises, that neither Nattrass or Aubrey Ganlter was there, and that the witness who said that he identified the two last-named was mistaken. Mr. Fraser, S.M., refused to grant a rehearing. He said lie considered that even if such evidence had been given at the original hearing it was not of such a nature as -.would have justified him in coming to a different decision.
