THE TE AROHA MURDER.
This afternoon Mr Brassey made application to the Eesident Magistrate to be allowed to visit the accused man Procoffi, in company with an interpreter. He said that the police appeared to be throwing difficulties in the way of the defence, and had absolutely refused to allow him to visit the accused with a third party without an order from the Court. SergeantMajor O'Grady informed the Eesident Magistrate that Mr Brassey had visited the accused with an Englishman who could not speak a word of Eussian. Mr Brassey affirmed that the gentleman, who accompanied him on the occasion was thoroughly qualified, and had taken some medals while at home. The F.M.. refused to grant the application, as being a most unusual one, but said that the police would of course allow Mr Brassey to interview the prisoner, as being retained for the defence.
