Other evidence was heard corroborating the above.

Aher evidence had been heard, the Hon. the Attorney General said he did not wish to press the charge against the first, second and sixtli defendants as there was no evidence of any of the stolen properly being found on them.

His Honour therefore 'directed the jury to return a verdict of nal guilty against the first second and sixth defendants, and they were accordingly discharged.

After his Honour had sumtined up, and the jury had held a brief consultation a verdict was returned of no guihy against the thir prisoner, and gailty against both the fourth and fifth, and they were sentenced to five years' hard labour.
