MR. JANKIN OPENS DEFENCE.
PRISONER'S EVIDENCE.
The Crown case in the Prays murder trial was closed yesterday afternoon and Mr. F. C. Jenkin, counsel for the prisoner, then proceed- ed to open the defence, which sets up mistaken identity.
Mr. Jenkin began his address by emphasising to the jury the duty they were under to judge the man in the deck solely on the evidence and with- out regard to any private or public feeling. Counsel mentioned that he had been freely criticised for taking part in the case but it was the duty of conneel, if he were retained, to do all he could for his client.
Jenkin The Crown case, Mr. argued, practically stood or fell upon the evidence of Captain Morgan. For man of his age, Captain Morgan's plack was deserving of the highest praise and his honesty of purpose was not doubted in the slightest degree. The defence was purely and simply that he had mistaken his man.

Warter
Mr. Rooth (magistrata): You don't look like a sailor. Were you dancing the hom-pipe? (Laughter.)
Constable: No, but I had my uni- form trousers on, and they may have thought they were sailors' trousers.
Mr. Adams: It was quite a mistake.
Adams: Iapologised to the gentle man afterwards, and told him we had
made a mistake.
