HBH 1892 Oct 13 Supreme Court KURIPAPANGA The Supreme Court was formally opened for business yesterday morning in order to release the sureties of the Maori, KURIPAPANGA. This young native was committed for trial for larceny and allowed out on bail. The theft alleged against him consisted of taking of a number of articles and a horse from a relative at MOAWHANGA, and the defence at the preliminary hearing of the case was that the defendant was not guilty of larceny according to Maori custom. Under the circumstances the Crown decided not to present an indictment, and hence the necessity of the application for the release of the sureties. This was ordered, and the Court rose.
