In 1980 after serving 9 years' imprisonment, Arthur Thomas was pardoned following this Royal Commission Inquiry. Evidence which had proved incriminating at his trial was shown to have been planted. The New Zealand Government awarded him compensation of over NZ$1 million. With Appendices. 125pp. 8vo. softcover. From the library of true-crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate.
