DEGREES OF GUILT.
DEFENCE IN THEFT CASE. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. Albert Ayling, a steward, when charged with theft of a bicycle to-day, put up the defence that he was not gnilty, as he did not actually commit the offence. The facts were that another man actually stole the machine, and asked accused to pawn it. Accused kept guard while the theft was committed. Ayling was before the court last week, when he got three months' imprisonment for theft of a ring from a package of stolen jewellery which he was minding for a friend. He will now serve an additional month.
