After evidence had beon given, tho prisoner stated that.the prosocutor started first upon him.—His Honor summed up briefly, after which the jury retired for a.considerable time and returned a verdict of not guilty, stating that there was nob sufficient evidence to prove that the prisoner had broken Scott's leg. The prisoner was accordingly discharged. Larceny.—Alexander Watson, William Grey, and Robert Wallace were charged with the larceny of certain wearing apparel, tho property of John Pond, on Kith April. Alexander Watson pleaded guilty and tho other prisoners not guilty. The evidence disclosed that Mr John Bond, of Karanga hape Road, travelled by tho Holcnsville train to Waitakerei. He had a parcel with him, containing an overcoat, ono coat and vest, and two pairs of trousers. A witness named Thomas Webb saw tho parcel in tho carriage after Mr Pond left tho train.

Thoy left a watch ab the hotel in payment for the victuals they received; — His Honor pointed out to tho jury that evidently tho two prisoners wero concerned in pawning the stolen articles.

The prisoner said that he was in great trouble when he committed the thefts. He had also facilitated the recovery of the articles. — His Honor said that if the prisoner had only committed one theft be cause he was out of work and reckless there might have been some excuse, but he appeared to have made a perfect profession of thieving. He would therefore be sen tenced to six months hard labour for each offence, the sentences to run consecutively.

Alleged Uttering. — James Joseph O'Connor was charged with uttering a forged cheque for L 22 12s to one Patrick Lynch on the Gth May, well knowing tho same to be forged and valueless.— Prisoner pleaded not guilty.

When he presented the cheque at the bank he found there was no account,—Frederick Craifl6mir''a clerk at the Union Ship ping Company's Office, deposed to giving a man, a blank cheque. He could, not again recognise that man.— iHis Honor : Are you in the habit of giving out blank cheques to persona whom you do not know ? Witness : Yes !we are in the habit of giving cheques out in the office — His Honor: \ery well, I can only say that if you ever have- to suffer for, the. conse quences of such action it will serve you right for your carelessness. — Henry W. Law son, ledger keeper for the National Bank, deposed to the cheque being presented. for payment. There was no account. —Mr John Leydon was then called by the prisoner, and deposed to seeing the prisoner change half a sovereign.—The prisoner, in addressing the jury, contended that he was not aware that the cheque was valueless.— After retiring for about a quarter of an hour the jury returned a verdict ■of guilty.—The Crown Prosecutor withdrew a second indictment for false pretences,.which arose out of the same case. — The prisoner pleaded for the leniency of the Court, stating that he had held good positions in Australia, and also that this was his first offence.—His Honor . sentenced the prisoner to two years' imprisonment with hard labour.

Larceny from Dwellings. ~- Arthur Tilly, alias Bartlott, pleaded.guilty to hav ing on the 29th January 1886, stolen certain jewellery from the residence of William Lynch, also to the' charge of having stolen one watch, the property of Sarah Norris. His Honor sentenced the prisoner to two years' imprisonment with. hard" labour for each offence, the sentence to run con currently. Larceny.—Henry George Shelly again appeared in the box this morning. Mr J. P. Campbell said he proposed to call evi dence as to the previous character of.the prisoner before the sentence was passed upon him.—Thomas Beacon,, a, resi dent eiof North; Shore, deposed to having knovhi'* the prisoner for . the last nine years. He was an industriousphavd work 7 ing,young man.—Thomas Bond, butcher, Devonport, had known tho prisoner for

eight or nine years. He had always borne a good character. F. H. Wells also testified the prisoner's good character. 1 His Honor said he would have passed a lighter sentence had not the witness 0 Bnen stated that after his arrest the prisoner did not facilitate the receiving of the stolen property. Still he would take into con sideration -to prisoner's previous good character and inflict a sentence of six months imprisonment with hard labour, the sentences to run consecutively. • Larceny of a Bailhe.-Arthur Hay wood was charged with the larceny as a bailee of L 3, the money of Andrew Fer nandez, on Hth April.-Mrs Johanna Fernandez, wife of Andrew Fernandez, licensee of tho Britomart Hotel, deposed thab the accused was engaged at the hotel as a handyman.

NARROW ESCAPE.

ACCIDENT AT A BRICK KII<N

This morning at about 11 o'clock, a small brick kiln belonging to Mr W. Hunt, Avon dale, which had been burning for sometime, unexpectedly fell down. The kiln com prized 20,000 bricks, weighing in all about 50 tons. There were three men inside at the timo, tho names being Muranb, Davoren, and Inkip. Observing signs of collapse they leaped out the moment of tho crash, but, unfor tunately, one of them (Murant) was struck on the back and severely bruised, but not seriously injured. Tho escape of tho men was almost miraculous. The bricks were red hot. It is curious to relate that the man Inskip lost his father just a year ago. Ho was bricking a well in Avondale, and the mass fell in and crushed him to death.
