THOMAS HALL'S ACQUITTAL.

Tbe Season of the Appeal Court.

[BY TELEQBAFH. —PRESS ASSOCIATION,

Christchckch, Saturday. At H o'clock this morning a sitting of the Appeal Court was held for the purpose of giving judgment in Hall's case. As on formor occasions, there was a somewhat large attendance, Ihu legal profession be ing well represented. Mr Stringer appeared for the Crown, and Mr Chapman for the accused. Judgment, which as usual had been written, was read by Mr Justice Johnston, and Judges Richmond, Ward, and Williams aleo occupied seats on the Bench. Before proceeding Mr Johnston stated, on behalf ot the Chief Justice, that he assented to the decision, though not agreeing with every statement of opinion. The questions submitted to the Court were then stated and were dealt with In their order. There nae some vagueness as to the purpose which the evidence objected to was,,to prove. The prisoner only was implicated, and therefore the evidence cou ri only have been admitted to show Ihe prieoner's con nection with the adminietruticn uf poison. Detign or accident, waa the question. Re ference was then made to tha twofold point that the prisoner administered and did so with intent-. To establish this the evidence wus put in as proof of iuteit. The evidence was aomitfiblo for tho purpose of proving guilty knowledge The admission no doubt coi stituted an exception to the general principle. Reference .was here made to the parallel cases. All Judges avoided the line followed in tho present, case TSoth by Bench and Bar the evidence, it seem..', was deemed I admissible only on the general question ai to whether the death was caused by acci dent or design. Then came ihe question: whether the poisoning of Mrs Hall and Captain Cain could be linked together for. the purposes of tho trial as one trans ection. It appeared .to the Court that i here was no evidence of a detign requiring the death of the two. Was there any other connection needed in the light of science, philosophy, or common scnee? It waa reasonable to infer on the these grounds that the human agency in the two cases was the same, but this mode of proof it was settled was inadmissible. raliner'a case and others closely resembling that be fore the Court were quoted. Aa to the third ground, it could not be proper to admit the evidence on the pretext of showing what were the symptoms following upon the administration of a certain poison. The Court at the same time was not die posed to deny that someuinos a series of similar occurrences might go to prove the guilt of a prisoner, though in this case the Court saw no sequence and connection Strong moral probability has not the kind of proof exacted. It was, indeed, that kind of proof which the English law rightly njected Tho Court was not concerned with the popular idea of a failure of justice It «»» their duty.to see thut jueiice v <ie administered according to Uw. Ih the opinion waa expiesned that tha learned Judge who tried the c»so had practically no option in admitting the evidence. No single Judge would havo ti»keu upon him self to refuse the admission of euch ov dence. For the reasons stated, the Court was • unanimously of opinion that the prisoner ought not to have been convicted.

rpRY KIRKPATRICK'S NEW SEASON'S JAM. SPECIAL NOTICE. Kirkpatmck's New Season's Jam is made from Nelson-grown fruit, and is boiled within a few hours after the fruit has been gathered. It thus retains most of the natural flavour of the fresh fruit. Kirkpatrick's New Season's Jam is the most delicious preserve in the market. Do not bo persuaded to buy cheap and inferior brands of jam, the remains of old stock which must be sold at any price, but ask for Ktrkpatrtok's Nkw Season's Jam, and see that you get it. The best is always the Cheapest. Kirkpatrick's New Season's Jam is the beat. CAUTION. None is genuine unless our name is itamped on each tin and has our reyislered 'rade mark, " Lord Nelson," on the label. 3.
