SUNNING CASE.
FRESH EVIDENCE.
Now evidence was given in the Sunning case at the Central-Ma- gistracy yesterday when the 'ste- vedore who was taken in No. boat when it left the vessel and, was subsequently captured by' H.M.S. Bluebell, was called to give evidence.
Referring to the later incidents on the Sunning, witness said the pirates forced him to help them to lower the boat and they took him on board, together, with the Sunning's carpenter, who is the
nineteenth defendants
Ten men left the Vossel in the boat, thero being eight pirates, including Nos, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 8. Witness and the carpenter rowed 'the boat, and when the Bluebell hove in sight one of the pirates suggested that the arms should be dumped overbourd "to free thom from trouble." There were two rifles in the boat and they were dumped together with four other firearms.
Money Handed Over. "No. 4 handed me over. $90 in banknotes and asked me to keep it for him," continued wit-' ness. "I took it from him and put it in my pocket. No. 1 de- fendant handed the ship's carpen- ter $1,000 in notes and he also put the money in his packet:
"When the Blueboll came nearer e rope was thrown, and caught it. We then made fast and wo were all taken on board with the exception of one man who went overboard from the ship's bout, I was on the Bluebell first and I did not see what happened to him. 1 was tied up and taken in charge as a pirate."
Questioned, "the stevedore said that there was a heavy sen a high wind while they were in the ship's boat and at one time it was half full of water which had to be baled out."
In Sight of A Warship. Mr. Lindsell: Why were you willing to take these notes from No. 4 and relieve him of evidence of his guilt-I was afraid they might shoot me if I refused to take it.
Mr. Lindsell: A British man o' war was in sight und coming to the rescue and you were afraid-Yes. We saw the war- ship but she was still some dis- tance away at that time.
Mr. Lindsell: When you were on the Bluebell did you tell any body about this money -Every- thing I had was taken away when I was searched, but I told a Can- tongse steward about it.
Mr. Lindsell (to the Crown Solicitor) Beyond the fact that the ship's carpenter was in pos- session of $1,000 is there anything else against him?
The Carpenter.
Mr. Holmes: That is the only point against him. Careful con sideration has been given to the question of this defendant, and as soon as this man's evidence, was finished I was going to point out that the money was the only evi- dence against the man.
Spme sliver was found with the notes on the carpenter and that, may require explanation, added Mr. Holmes.
He also stated that the witness's case und that of the carpentex were similar.
Mr. Lindsell said that in view of the evidence he did not see how the Crown could hold the man, and Mr. Holmes said that if Is Worship found there, was no prima facie case against him he hoped the carpenter would be released.
Passenger's Story.
A Chinese lady, Liela Allison, gave evidence at the afternoon hearing. She said that on the afternoon of the piracy she was talking to a compradore when she saw hands brandishing re- volvers near the grille on the saloon deck.

She was frightened when she saw the weapons and stayed in the room where she was sitting. On the compradora's advice. sho then went to her cabin and gave a jewellery to a steward. She gave certain amount of money and
him two gold bangles and′ $256 in notes, but had not seen her property since.

From there he saw a boat lowered and he heard that all the pirates had left the ship with the exception of the disabled ones. He was still of that opinion.
