Mr. Potter protested strongly against the change of front by the prosecution and submitted that the Crown muss, stand, or fall by the whats of the charges. Had.. he known that the Crown was going to drops of the eight charges in the indictment, he would have bad some thing to say about it.
His Lordship renmarked that if the

After the summing up by his Lord- ship, the Jury, after ten minutes deliberation, brought in a unanimous verdict of not guilty on all charges,
His Lordship accordingly dis- charged the prisoner.
The Sessions is adjourned until Monday when the case against James MacBean Tullock, a sergeant of the Poles, now suspended from service, who is charged with committing an indecent simult on a 13-year-old Chinese girl will be heard.
