Prisoner pleaded not guilty, and the following jury was empandled-Mears, AB. Bryan (foreman), F.. Drade, J. W. Peste, F. H. B. Schwander, J. J. Filah, A. G. Coppia and W. B. Moleon,
Mr. C. G. Alabaster, instructed by Mr. H. L. Dennys, Jr., fromthe office of theCrown Belicitor, appeared for the prosecution, while the prisoner wan represented by Mr. Eldon Potter, who was Instructed by Mr. W. E. L. Shouton (of Mesars Deacon, Looker and Deacon).
Mr. Alabastor, in opening the case for the Crown, said the prisoner was charged with receiving throe Masonic jewels well knowing them to have been previously stolen. It wai his duty to prove three things before the jury could conviot: First, that the jewels wore stolen. Secondly, that after the jewels were stolen they were received by the prisoner. Thirdly, he had to prove that at the time the prisoner received them he knew they were stolen. The theft would be proved by the Owner of the jewels, and the thief who wan caught, prosecuted, and contenced to a term of imprisonment for stealing them. The thief would also prove that the jewoln came into possession of the prisoner to whom he sold them. Moreover, a statement made by the prisoner at the Police Station would be put in in which he admitted receiving the jewels from the thief. Ouilty knowledge could be inferred from the circumstances of a case, If he put before the jurors a number of circum. stances from which they thought they could safely infer that the defondant must have known the jewels were atten, they could draw that inferenca, If they thought the circumstances iled they must acquit, and if they were doubt ful about it they should also asquit
The jury returned a verdict of guilty by six

COMPANY REJECTS TERMB.
As was to be expected, a nooting subsequently held of the tramway company decided to reject the offer of the City Office, and unless something extraordinary happens this worrying tram question is at an end. The shareholders indeed had little to gain by the offer of the city, for they would receive their payment in bords and it is hard to say how they would stand on the market. The result of this agitation has been to bring the gaptation of the shares from 78 yen to 68 yen, and they must fall saother 10 points: before they are at their proper market value, Failing municipalisation there is only one solution of the difficulty, if the shareholders are

The improved play of the Yardors was the canso of no little comment on Saturday, and only for the lack of staying power, which was very much in evidenos in the latter part of the game, a much more evenly contested match would have resulted. The scoring of the first half by the Yarders came as a surprise to all, to be fairly trosted, and that is an increnss of ionlarly arduous when the Mill is being orders on very reasonably terms, in fact, it anxiety. Fortunately that was done in a clear
and probably to the players themselves. The wide, well-placed passes of the forwards and the tricky footwork of the new contre-forward, Sullivan, contributed largely to the initial succoss and the general effectiveness of the play. The Tarders have now got a strong team together. What if they are all naval men! Burely the men from the smaller boats are allowed to play football With careful handling and training the Yardors should now be able to improve their place on the Longue table.

AN UNSATISFACTORY SITUATION.
Thus the municipalisation question, which no one seems to have welcomed with enthusiasm, has been forced to a head, and it may be said that no one is satisfied with the result. It is understood the Government will not allow any more to be paid for the property than the sum fixed at the Aldermen's Council, and even if there are still many doubts shout the wisdom this ultimately proves acceptable to the company of floating 60 million worth of alty bonds at At the commencement the Buffs were com this time.
