Circuit Court At Wau
p. 20 · Read in the full issue
From Our Own Correspondent WAU, March 28.
AFTER many years, a Circuit Court is to visit Wau on April 1. This has been long sought, owing to the great cost and inconvenience of sending cases to Rabaul. The Circuit Court entails the passages of two persons, whereas frequently as many as twenty have had to travel to Rabaul, and be away from their occupations for weeks, and sometimes months.
On the present occasion, two cases will come before the Court here—one of gold stealing and one of alleged unlawfully killing. These cases would have neces sitated probably 20 Europeans going to Rabaul.
