(HON. MR. REES DAVIES, K.C.).
of
THE POLICE MURDER. The
trial of the second prisoner in-
murder dicted for complicity in the
two Indian police in the New the Territory on 20th August was commenced. The Acting Attorney General (Hon. Mr F. C. Hazeland), instructed by Mr. F. B. L. Bowley, Crown Solicitor, conducted the case for the Crown, and Mr. Eldon Potter, instructed by Mr. Jackson, of Messrs. Johnson, Stokes and Master, defended.
The jury were empanelled as follows: Messrs. A. E. Crapnell (foreman), O. B. Wilks, C. J. Cooke, J. W. Peate, A. M. Marshall, F. Drew, and W. G. Clark.
Mr. Potter asked that the police be requested to bring certain witnesses for the defence who were in the New Territory,
His Lordship consented and instructions were. given that the police proceed to the places indicated as soon as possible.
The Attorney-General, in opening, said that the motive of the crime as suggested by the prosecution was robbery, as the police were escorting a collection of Crown rent from Au

Tau to Taipo. At 7 a.m. on the 20th August Sergt. Moore despatched three days' collection of Crown rent amounting to $467.75 in sealed bags and placed in an open basket which was carried by a coolie on a bamboo pole. The escort were supplied with revolvers, and the day being hot the police discarded their tunics and carried umbrellas. The coolie, on seeing the attack, dropped his basket, and ran back to the station, where he informed Sergt. Moore of what had occurred. The latter telephoned to the other police stations and search parties were sent out. The Indian Sergeant's death was due to a fractured skull, but the constable's death was due to a ruptured spleen, which might have been caused by a fall or a blow. How many men were concerned in the attack would remain a mystery, but the Crown suggested that four men, one of whom had been tried and one of whom was the prisoner, were leaders. That quartette were seen, the night before the murder, in the neighbourhood of a certain house talking secret- ly and were seen to leave the house in the early Some time morning armed with matlocks. later they were together again talking over the details of the crime in the presence of certain witnesses.
Evidence was then called, and the hearing adjourned.
When the case for the prosecution was closed on Wednesday, Mr. Potter submitted that there was no case to go to the jury.
His Lordship said he would refer the matter to the jury, who, after they had been addressed by Mr. Potter, brought in a verdict of not guilty without waiting to hear the evidence for the defence. The prisoner was accordingly dis- charged.

BEFORE HIS HONOUR MR. H. H. J. GOMPERTZ (PUISNE JUDGE).
ARMED ROBBERY AT LANTAO. Three men charged with armed robbery st Lantao Island on 20th September last were put on trial, Mr. C. G. Alabaster, instructed by Mr. Dennys, conducting the case for the Crown. Prisoners, who were undefended, pleaded not guilty.
The following jury were empanelled; Messrs. Hooper, A. Henderson, A. da Silva, A. V. Silva, Carvalho, and J. J. Judah.
Mr. Alabaster said that on the 26th Septem- ber, about 8 p.m., three men, whom he would prove were the prisoners, were seen to approach Cheungshawan on Lantao Island. They were observed by an old farmer, who, suspecting that they had evil designs fetched a musket and went down to the seashore. Before they landed he asked them what they wanted, and they said they were coming to search for opium. On receiving that statement he did not fire at them, but when they landed they knocked him senseless to the ground, threatened his

His Lordship discharged the third man and sentenced the first and second prisoners each to ten years' imprisonment with hard labour.
DISTURBING THE COURT.
At the Supreme Court on Monday morning the Attorney-General experienced some dif ficulty, when addressing the jury, in making himself heard, and he suggested that the ham- mering in the Post Office be stopped. His Lordship replied that he would be glad if it could be done, and the Attorney-General added that the police be sent to order the noise to be stopped. After inquiries had been made his Lordship stated that he understood the Post Office were engaged in sealing up boxes and it would only last a few minutes.
