HAWERA.
This day
Mr Wilkinson, Receiver of Land Revenue, was brought up on remand yesterday charged with embezzling £17 3s. Mr Barleyman, Crown Prosecutor, asked for a further remand, as the officer from the Treasury was up making an investigation of the accounts, but had not yet been able to go through them all. Mr Ward, solicitor for Mr Wilkinson, opposed the remand, but the Bench granted it until Tuesday next. Mr Ward asked that bail might be reduced, but it was refused. Mr Ward said that he hoped the Bench had not been swayed by an article which appeared in the Patea Mail of Thursday, and strougly animadverted upon its contents. Mr Barleyman agreed with Mr Ward and deprecated comments on the case whilst it was before the Court. The Bench agreed with the remarks made by the counsel, but stated they had not been influenced in any way by the comments in the newspaper alluded to.
