WAU, Feb. 2.
DURING January Judge Phillips, in the Supreme Court, Wau, heard charges of manslaughter against two men who were the drivers of motor vehicles when fatal accidents occurred, Mr. Wally Corden, who was the driver of the motor truck which overturned and killed Mr. James Stewart in Nov ember, was found not guilty of man slaughter and was discharged. The Court evidently took the view that the regrettable occurrence was entirely an accident.
The driver of another motor truck, which ran over and killed a man near Bulolo, and which continued its journey without stopping to ascertain whether harm had been done, was sentenced to two years’ imprisonment.
Rev. 0. G. Parry, B.Ec., with Mrs.
Parry and their three children, departed from Sydney for Papua by the “Macd hui’ on February 2. He will have charge of the London Missionary Society’s Lawes College at Fife Bay, pending the arrival of a new L.M.S.’ missionary.
