They slept at the whare^ in connection with the - hotel, but not in the tame apartment with him. Next day after dinner he went into their whare to look for his pipe. He asked Cummings if he had seen the pipe, but he said '"no," and dioped his hand into witness's trousers pocket, and pulled out the £1 note and some silver. Two shillings fell on the floor, and a two shilling piece remained in the pocket. Prisoner kept the £1, and when asked for it said he had nothing belonging to witness. Had counted Ihe money in his pocket about half an hour before the theft, and had 30s, out of which he pnid for shouts and his breikfast—3a for shouts and Is for breakfast.

He was noc able to pay the 2a until he had gone do'wo town and got it. —Prisoner gave evidence on his own behalf to the effect that on Monday he cashed a cheque for £1 15 i, drawn by Richard Harrison at the jbank of New South Wales.

The latter was from Fred. Richards for £1 3s 4d -all of which he spent but 7s 3J, which he had when be was locked up on Saturday. The cheque for £115s was also in his pocket. Did not produce the money to pay his fine on Monday, because he did not wish to get the officers into trouble for loose searching. Produced a purse with £1 4s in it, the £1 being a Colonial Bank note. —O'Connor, recalled, said he cashed a cheque at Hardley Bros wher« he bought a suit of clothes.

Was locked up the same night as Cummings and was aware that he had the 7s 3d on his person in the morning, as Cummings showed it to him in the lock up.—The Bench found that the ease had not been proved. Prosecutor was uncertain as to the notes, he had, but the accused had accounted for the lawful possession of the money he produced. —Eugene Fo*d and William Lawry or Leroy were brought up on remand, and dismissed, the police being satisfied that a mistake hid been made, and these were not the men who'had stolen the suit of clothes from Fulton.

Licensing Questions.

i'ER PKKSS ASSOCIATION. Wellington, February 21. At a meeting; of the Prohibition League to-night, the Chairman said that, iv view of the decision of the Court of Appeal relative to the-Sydenham Licensing Com mittee, it was necessary that steps .should be taken for placing the direct veto on the drink traffic in the hands of the people. He mentioned that the league now possessed 2i2 members. Mrs Lodge, of Syderham, suggested that a public meet' ing to discuss the question be called, and wi men asked to address the meeting. Resolutions were passed as follows :— (1) Favouring the female franchise ; (2) that cards ba forwarded to members of the league, urging them to induce others to join ; (3) that members of the league be' requested not to vote for any candidate for Parliament who will not pledge hinself to give the direct veto of the drink traffic without compensation ; (3) conveying thanks to the Rev Mr Jsitt foi his services to ward « the suppression of the evil of intemper ance ; (5) that the executive be recom mended to send delegates to the various temperance bodies, with a view of secur ing concerted action in the matter. A member mentioned that a deputation would shortly wait on the Minister of Justice to urge the suppression of Sunday traffic indulged in by Chinese and publi cans. . Dunbdin, February 21. At a meeting of the Licensed Victualers' Associafcian it was decided to prosecute the appenl in die Rcsyln licensing case, the cost to be borne by the association, Wellington, February 22. A deputation is about to w<ub on the Minister of Justice to urge that steps ba taken to put down Sunday trading by Chinese ana publicans.

The harvest thanksgiving services were held in the Methodist Church on Sunday last. Willing workers had very tastefully decorated the church with flowers, evergeens, grain, etc., whilst a fair amount of garden produce was also displayed. The hymns aunj{ were suitable to the occasion. The preacher in the morning was Mr Twentyman, who preached an interesting sermon, specially adapted for the time, Rev J. Cocker preached in the evening and the cjjurch was full on both occasions. On Monday evening, a social gathering was held, when the chui'ch \yas nicely filled and an interesting programme was gone through, The choir sang anthems ; Mr Marsden gave a number of secleetious on his:i bells; Mr Mr Aston . gave an address; solos were given by Mrs W. Marsden and Mr R, E. Dowle ; Mrs Davies presided at the organ ; and the circuit minister was chairman. The meetings were successful. The " Marton Mercury " thinks that Hastings will, in future, have to be called the Chicago of New Zealand. It remarks th&t though on the Thursday morning half the town was burnt to the ground, on Saturday nearly the whole of the burnt.out j business men were ready again for customers." Our contemporary then adds ;-—rJne enter prising chemist boldly advertised on Satur day, " Fire don't stop us." A large clothing company were ready with au entire new; stock by Saturday morning. The two banks were again open, and business went ou as usual, although the heaps of debris in the street Were still alight, with the engines playing on them. There is pluck and energy in Hastings, reminding one of the enter prise in Chicago ia,their great fire in the •'Seventies,' when the largest retail draper drew up plans fora new building and let the contract while the engines were yet playing on his fast reducing premises.
