Edgeler, however, who has never found his true form in the forward line, went back to dentre half, where he played a magnificent game, and although Pascall was a little too quick for Long on seen- sions, the half-buck line could not be said to be below its usual standard. The sappers, too, had reorganised their team, hat with as ovents proved, disastrous res sults. Luens, who is one of the best backs in the Colony, went into the forward line White taking his place at back, and Hortop going to the vacant half-back. position. Of the three, Horton was the only one that showed improved form in his new position, and he played a grand game, but the services of Latcas at back were sadly missed.

Defendant stated that he went to see a friend. Evidence which was given, however, proved that defendant was seen carrying the stove away.
