Wellington, June 1. Mr Chapman this morning applied for special jury m the dummyistn case. The Judge asked what precedent there was, and Mr Chapman mentioned tho cases of Allen, accused of stealing amalgam on the West Coast last year, and of Cooper, an asylum warder charged wilh embezzle ment. The Chief Justice said there were special circumstances m both thoso cases. Mr Gully objected, faying it looked as though the accused was anxious to 1 have the benefit of a Jury drawn exclusively from the class to which he belonged. After considerable argument His Honor said he would give his decision at 3 p.m. The only other case on the list was that of Arthur Ellison, alias Dunn; the prisoner is already serving six n.onths for obtaining money by telegraphing under a false name and he is now accused of forg ing the receipt which enabled him to get the momy. He put m a special plea to the effect that the offences were one and the same. The jury was directed to consider whether the plea was good, but misunderstood the direction and returned a verdict of not guilty. They were sent back, but m the interim the Chief Justice decided on reconsideration that there was no necessity to leave it to the jury. The foreman on being recalled said the feeling of the jury was that the offence was practically the same, and prisoner should not be punished twice over for it. The Crown Prosecutor though dissenting from this view recognised no likelihood of gaining a verdict and offered no evidence, and prisoner was discharged.
