Accused told him to go and tell { the boss that o»» of his stacks was burn* ing. Replied that he knew it was burning, and charged accused with firing it, but he denied it. Asked him to come and give a band at putting the fire out, but he didn't come. Went to the stack and began to do what he could to prevent the fire from spreadiug.

He also said he had gone down towards the stacks after leaving the fence, but added tfeat Jie would listen to no more on the subject of the stack. George Bonner, manager of Highbank station, and constable Morgan gave evidence. Accused gave evidence on his own behalf, to the effect that he did not go towards the stack until ho saw smoke coming from it. His worhip did not think the evidencp was sufficient to justify a committal, and accused was discharged.
