ALLEGED THEFF.

The hearing of the case ag. h\-b Knto Sutherland, charged with havr g, on July 12, at Rolleston, stolen £16, the in ■ney of Mark Healey, was continued at iru Christ church Police Court on Tupkl y morning', before Mr J. C. S< pp, J P., .nil Mr K. O. Bkog, J.P- Mr Kippenberger appeared for the accused, and .Sub-Inspector O'Brien cod ducted the prosecution.

Annie Cough, recalled, stated that Bhe found the o>Bhb-x, which had contained the mor.e}', hidden in a c osct at the hotel. Witne*a and accused at. times had charge of the hotel during Mr.Hea!e-,'s übsei.cc Up to the time she left h'-me, the cash-hex wii? not under lr.ck and key, but was kept ia n drawer in their room

Charlea WiUiam Bourne, licensee of the Kirwee Hotel, stated that: he rerr,enib«roil seeing Harvey at his hotel at about 11.15 a.m. on July 13. He went out, returning at about a, quarter to one to dinner. In the afternoon he w.ataway again, and returned at between 7.15 and 7 30. Witness was in and out of the commercial room thatevtninp, but at no time did he Bee a letter on the mantelpiece. Miss Sutherland was at the hotel during the evening. Minnie Elizabeth Bourne, wife of the previous witness, stated that Mies Sutherland came to the hotel about seven o'clock on July 13, and asked if she could see Mr Harvey. He was out, and witness told Miss Sutherland, who had waited in tho reading room, also known aB tho commercial room. Miss Sutherland askrd if she could leave a note for Mr Harvey, and witness brought her paper and envelopes, and Mr Bourne the ink. Miss Sutherland was in the room by | herself for some minutes, and on witness's return she handed her a note addressed to j Mr Harvey, and then went away. Before Mies Sutherland's arrival witness did not notice any letter on the mantelpiece. Judg. ing by the feel of the note Miss Sutherland gave her, witness did not think it contained money. Witne s took the note down to the bar and handed it to her husband to give to Mr Karv. y. Consist! I • CasseUs went to the RoHestnn Hotel to it qlire into this oaee on July 13. About eleven o clock Miss Sutherland told him Harvey had askid her to change a £5 note the previous night. Harvey had by this time left for Kir wee, <»v 1 wrnees aelcd her why she bad not told him thab before he left. She replied that she did not want to put him «.way. Witness j went to Kirwee and Ba» Harvey, and theu returned to Rolleßton. He told MUs Sutherland that Harvey had denied having naked her to change a£s not 3, saying that it was a£t note. Miss Sutherland ?aid she could tel! witness something about Harvey, and, after some demur, did so. She said that when Barvey had asked her for change of the " fiver," she had remarked that he was very " flush," and he replied, " Don't lot on. I went through them f r all th y had got.' MUs Sutherland aiid she felt snre if she went to Kirwee i-he could get the rest of the money back, and witness agreed that they should go there that evening Miss Sutherland left the room they were in, and returned in about five minutes to say that fellow (meaning Harvey) was th< re now. Witness suggested that she should go and try to get the money from him then. She went away, returning in about five or ten minutes, saying that Harvey had told her he had not the money with him but that ehe had a:ranced io meet him at Kirwee at 7-30 that evening. Mips Sutherland and witness and a young man named Thompson drove to Kirwee that evening, leaving Rolleston at six o'dook. About a quarter of a mile from the hotel witness got out of the (rap,and the other two drove on. in about a quarter of an hour they returned to witness, and Miss Sutherland handed to witness the cote produced. When they had gone a little way on the road back to Rolleston, witness read the no fe, and found inside it the £5 note and two half, rovereigns produced. Witness asked Miss Sutherland if Harvey had eiven her the letter, i>rd she replied that he had not; but that while the lady of the house was away looking for Harvey, she had found the letter on the mantelpiece of the room she was Bitting in, On being told that Harvey was out, she hs.d obtained some paper and left him a note thanking him. At 530 the following morning witness again weot to Kirwee with Thompson, and brought Harvey back to Rolleston. Witness brought Miss Sutherland into the room, and told her to tell Harvey what she had told witness. Harvey denied having said what sho attri buted to him, but Miss Sutherland said she could bring someone who had overheard him Witness returned to Chriatchurch on the afSermon of July 14, and there received from Miss Sutherland a letter that evening, enclosing another, which she said she hid found amongst the music. The letter purported to bo signed by Harvey, and told one " Dearest Mary," that if all went well he would send her a fiver during the week. Oa the following day, Miss Sutherland and Miss Gough came to the detective office. Detective Chrystal, who had the three letters produced in front of hian, said that an expert could see they had all been written by the same person, but Miss Sutherland denied that she had written them. After some questioning, Miss Sutherland, in reply to Miss Gough, said that she had written the letters and Miss Gough then began to cry. He also confronted Healey, jun., with Har vey in Miss Suthei land's presence. Hea'ey said that he had heard the conversation between Miss Sutherland and Harvey in the bar on July 12, and on the follow ing morning, !when witness arrived on the scene, heard Harvey say, •' What's Cas sels ~ doing here 1 I must be off. Don't Bplit." Harvey denied having said anything to Mies Sutherland about the money.

'Directive Chrystar detailed the conversa tion that had taken' place in the "detectives' office, when, in addition to the accused. Detective CasselSs and Miaa Gough were a'so present. When witness was outside |;he ofjice with the accused he pointed out (o her the similarity between the letters, and told her he had no doubt they were written by her, and that sfae pnb the 4D6 into the letter |n which it was found, or that it waa placed there by some porson wi;h her knowledge. She began to tob, and eaid, " What will be the result, cf this? I wrote those letters, but I did not take the money. I won't say who did it." He did not think Miss Gough had anything to do with the affair beyond finding the money, and he believed her entirely inuocent. Charles WiUiam Bourne, recalled, said he had received from hia wife a letter addressed to Mr Harv°y, which he handed to the latter about 7.30 in the evening of July 13. He had not said so earlier in the case because he had not been asked. James Harvey, who was also re-called, deposed to receiving a letter from the land lord of the Kirwee Hotel that same evening. Tha letter puzsled him, as all tl?&t it con taiped was "Xnank y.ou, Mr Harvey,? writ ten in one corner. It was ' not signed, and witnesa did not attaoh any importance to it, and so dM not keep ib. ■ " ■Constable Hampton, watah-house keeper a aaid^'that 'whilf' sitting by the fire in tW sergeants' room, the accJused said she would not tell who stole the money ; ehe would father go to gaol herself. This was all the erideflfje for the proeeQUt'on. 'MrKippenberger called for the defenpe Stephen Thompson, farmer, Valdhurst, who stated that He was at the Rolleston Hotel on July 12 and 13. Hefaaw Healcy, Jun., and Miss Sutherland in the bar about S.?O Tm. on July IS, and heard the former telJ her she was to say nothing about seeing him at the cashbox; Witness then rapped on the counter, and they stopped talking; He did not then know that the money had bean stolen. . The B«nch, after a brief retirement, de cided that there waß sufficient evidence to send the case to the Supreme Court, and committed the accused for trial. The exist ing bail was renewed; . The case against Mark Healey, 31m, also charged with having, on Julyl2, at Rolles *on, stolen &16, the money oi Mark rjsaley, fes Wiourned till Monday. €n the apph< ciktion of Mr McConnel, the accused was re-" admitted to bail.

THE BOROUGH LOAN.

TO THK EDITOR,

Sir,—l am surprised to read some of the opinions expressed by Councillors re the Loan at Monday's meeting. It must purely be gratifying to the Mayor and Councillors that s»bout 99 per cent, of those who did vole voted in favor of the Loud. In order to make certain of a successful issue next polling rhiy, I would suggest—(l) That suffi cient vehicles be provided to drive every ratepayer to the polling booth ; and (2) thab the purchase of Mie Gas Works be included in ihe proposal. If this is done, I veni ure to say that a prospect of 25 per cent, reduction in our £»s bills will be a sufficient induce ment to bring every ratepayer to vote in favor of the Loan next pulling driy.—l am, &c, Advance.
