ONGAROTO MURDER.
PROTEST- AT PUBLICATION. By Telegraph—Press Association. Christchurch, Last Night. A protest against the publication of the details of the execution of Kahu was uttered by Cr. Martin at a meeting of the City Council to-night. He moved that the council should express its disapproval of the publication of reports of executions, and that the Prime Minister be requested to have such reports prohibited. Cr. Armstrong said if it was right to have executions carried out at all there was nothing wrong about an account of an execution appearing in the newspapers. He proposed a motion protesting against capital punishment altogether, but this could not be accepted without notice, and Cr. Martin’s motion was carried.
