a.m. He did a good deal of electro plating work, m which, the work has to be put m a bath and left there for a certain period, after which it must be taken out or it will spoil. Had frequently seen Black put watches and things m the safe when he was leaving work before six ; these were watches and goods brougnt m for repairs. On the afternoon before the tire went to Black's shop about five o clock, and stayed half an hour. He was working at a small cruet stand which he said he required to have plated by six o'clock, but tint hn could hot do it. Having lived on the premises knew them well. 'Downstairs there was the front shop first, then the workshop, and a small kitchen m rear of that which was used as a lumber room. When the doors of the front, shop are closed there is absolutely no ventilation, and the ceiling is low. There are shutters for the front window, which cover about two-thirds of it, consequently any light at night m the shop is seen from the outside at once. The shop is m the busiest part of East street. There is a door leading from the front into the back shop, and another from the back shop into the lumber room but they are not m a direct line ; so that it would be impossible for any person from the front street to see right through the premises even had the doors been open. Boxes, straw, and paper were usually kept m the rubbish room and m considerable quantities. A wooden stair case led from the kitchen to the upper premises. The staircase was old and dry, and would very easily have caught fire. JNaturally there was a draught up that staircase. A window m the kitchen looked out upon the back premises: it was obscured with whiting six or eight weeks ago, and beyond it there were two or three willow trees thickly grown. The back premises were not much frequented, and would not be so at all at twelve o'clock ao night. The whole premises were business premises. Mr Black was accustomed to keep his certificates of merit m the front shop as well as a bronze medal which he had gained. They were all from England, and Mr Black attached great importance to these. Had seen these since the since the fire on the premises, and noticed that they had suffered from the fire. Had frequently been behind the counter m the front shop. Paper was generally kept there, and what ever Mr Black might require to use m serving customers. Did not remember seeing any cotton wool there. There was a long shelf under the counter. On the i evening of the fice arranged to go to | Black's house at eight, went at that hour, and was with him till eleven, played billiards at the house nearly all the time. Black was quite jolly m manner, and it did not strike witness that he was m any way altered m manner from his usual. He very readily showed his feelings m his face, and was of a gay and careless dis position. His furniture at the house was all new, and he had a good stock m the shop, although witness could give no idea of its value. Black made no secret of his intention to open m Bakia, and witness knew that he had advertised that inten tion. . Mr Pender re-examined witness. Ihe windows m the back rooms were certainly obscured a week before the fire, but he could not say exactly on what day he noticed that they were done. The reason why the windows were obscured was that his wife used to sit m the middle loom on Saturday nights, and the kitchen window was obscured because the middle door was frequently open. The kitchen window was high up from the ground. Black had never told witness that he ha d sent stock anywhere but to Kakaia. Henry George Hunt, Constable stationed at Ashburton, recollected going on duty on the town at nine o'clock of the evening of. February 11. The town clock struck twelve when he got to the Somerset corner on his way down street. | Looked at the properties as he went, but noticed nothing wrong then. Went by Burnett street through, the Arcade, and down to Friedlandw's corner. Struck a match at Quinn's, watchmaker, to see the time on his clock. It was exactly fifteen minutes past twelve. Continued his round up East street on the footpath, j to Black's shop. This would be at seven teen or eighteen minutes past twelve. His attention was arrested by a light m Black's shop. The place appeared to be on fire which was rising up from the centre of the shop. Climbed up and looked over the shutters. Saw no one about either m the shop or m the street. There was a bright moon with a fre&h breeze blowing straight down East street. Gave the alarm of fire, and went to the Tire Brigade Station and rang the bell. when the bell had received a few pulls a man named M'Kay came out from a house opposite, and ran on m front of witness to the shop. M'Kay then went off to hurry up the Brigade. A man named Burnett then came up. Witness pro cured buckets from Scott's stable, but before using them, witness tried to open the shop door, but did not succeed. Then took off the shutters.  Was not able to say whether the pane of glass next the shop of Brooke, the chemist, was broken m the taking down of the shutters or if it was burst m, but the crash happened when the shutters came down. Burnett, Paget, and himself threw water on the fire through the window, and he believed this extinguished the fire. A hammer arrived, and the door was burst open. The fire was all out before the engine arrived. The counter was much charred, and the counter case was smashed by the dashing of water through the wir'dow. Th ere appeared to be a good bit of paper under the counter, and the charred cases produced were those that were on the counter. The box of charred paper pro duced contained what he believed to be the paper that was under the counter The whole length of the counter would be Bft./to 10ft., and it was burnt pretty well all along. When he saw the fire first it could not have been long started. The shop formed part of a block of build ings. Saw accused after the fire—about an°hour more or less. He came into the shop, and witness asked if he tod «en Seiieant Moller. He replied that lw had notTbutthacMr Bees had roused him and told him about the fire. Witness said the Sergeant had gone for him. Accused looked found the shop and said 'Tins is a mess." He put his hand pn the safe and said "That is all right. He then went round the counter to where the fire seemed to have started, and stooped down to look among the paper there. Witness told him he must touch nothing until the Sergeant arrived. He said that was all rlgßy Mr Purnell—Up and down East street was a regular beat, and a constable on duty would pass Black's shop two or three times man evening, The constable on duty at night did not confine himselt to East street, but took a, look round the town generally to see that all was right. The man on nighb duty usually went oft at half-past two or three. The papers on the file (produced) were mostly receipts for accounts paid, music, and newspapers. By the time the witness got into the shop the papers under the counter where the fire appeared to be strongest were pretty well consumed. The broken window was immediately m front of where Blacks -work bench was. Soreri Christopher William Moller, Serseant of Police m charge of the Ash burton Police Station, heard the fire alarm shortly after twelve. Reached the tire before the shutters were taken down. Went m and helped the men who were there to put some water on the smoulder ing woodworm. The fire appeared to have been strongest at the far end. Exr amined the place, but did not displace what was under the counter, which had a sfreif running ataPg it. Tke sbeli' was

burning at the fat' end, but &t the end near the window it had not got burned. The boards on the outside of the counter at the far end were burned—from the centre to the far end. AH the fittings'in the place were scorched and cracked. The floor of the building was burned through. The shorter of the two boards m Court was from the floor next to the counter, and the longer adjoined it. They were both,burned through. The contents of the'larger box were taken from where there was^most fire, those cf the smaller box where there was not so much. Saw Black the morning of the fire at the shop. Had a conversation with him m which Black said he had been down at the shop i about half-past eleven the night before, having some work to do. He said he went m by the front door, and left by the back taking both keys with him. He said he had besn working only m the back room, and when he finished he went into the front shop but had no light. He further said he had lit his pipe before leaying, and showed witness where he did it. He had struck a match a* the bench where he worked, used it, shook it out, and left. There was no means of getting out of the back door after locking the front door, unless by passing the workbench and getting behind the counter. Asked Black if he was insured, and he said only for ioUO, about a quarter of the value, as the Insurance Company would not take great risks m that building or on that kind of stock, and that a large quantity—about £200—of the stock was at Eakaia. He gave witness the keys of the shop. About ten next morning saw BlacK at the shop with Ferriman. Black wanted to find a cheque for £30, post dated and crossed, drawn by Mr Macintosh, of Timaru. There was a drawer on the floor, which he s*id the cheque had been m. He took this into the back room and emptied it, but the cheque was not there. Nor did he find it m the safe nor m the desk, both of which he opened. Witness said he could not believe that he would have left a cheque like that m an open drawer when he had a safe to put it m. He said he would reflect upon it. Black drew out a drawer from the safe. It contained watches, and he put them back again. The repair watch case on the wall was nearly empty—only four watches and five cases were on it. Accused made a state ment to witness, which was put m writing by the witness. It gave the accused's account of his time from six o'clock on the evening of Thursday, February 11, as well as a statement that he was m a solvent enough condition, • (Left sitting. 1)

Hollow ay's Pills. — Nervousness and want of energy. —When first the nerves feel mstrung, and listlessness supplants energy, ihe time has come to take some such alterna tive as Holloway's Pills to restrain a disorder from developing itself into a disease. These excellent pills correct all irrec^ilarities and weaknesses. They act so kindly, yet so energetically on the functions of digestion and assimilation, that the whole body is revived, the blood rendered richer and purer, while the muscles become firmer and Btrongef, and the nervous and absorbent systems are invigorated. The pills are suitable for all classes and all ages. They have a most marvellous effect on persons who are out of condition; they soon rectify whatever is m fault, restore strength to the body and confidence to the mind.
