Rabaul, Dec. 1.
SEVERAL cases of natives being con victed of “intent to insult female in mates’’ in houses were remanded for sen tence to Rabaul from Salamaua and Wau, and came before Judge Phillips, in the Supreme Court. As these mining towns become more civilised, it would appear that crimes of this nature are on the increase.
One native was sentenced to two years’ gaol for indecent assault on a European woman at Salamaua, and to one year for being in a dwelling with intent. Two natives received sentences of one year and two whippings each for similar of fences. Kabib received sentence of three years, with two whippings, for an offence committed at Wau on a European child.
Kornelius received one year and two whippings for being in a dwelling with intent to insult.
