It was the Pig that Died!
THE sequel to an incident of a few months ago in which Mr.
John Waite, a Missionary of the SSEM, at Su’, in the Malaita District of the Solomons, was assaulted by a native and brought to Honiara suffering from shock, (PIM, July, p. 25) was heard in the Honiara courts at the beginning of August).
Rather surprisingly, it was Mr.
Waite who was charged with maliciously wounding a pig by dis charging a loaded .22 rifle at the animal while it was penned.
The pig, property of a native, Tofogeni of Kwariekwa, where the incident occurred, died three weeks later.
Mr. Waite was found guilty and ordered to pay the owner of the pig £8 compensation.— Honiara Cor respondent. j Three Tongans are currently undergoing a police training course in New Zealand. They are Mr. Vuna Ahome’e, Mr. Hynie Tonga, and Mr.
