CANON TAYLOR FREE.
SENSATIONAL CASE ENDS. GRAVE CHARGES DISMISSED. "NO JURY WOULD CONVICT." (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Friday. All charges of indecent assault on males preferred against the Rev. Thomas Fielden Taylor were dismissed by Mr. E. Page, S.M., in the Magistrate's Court to-day. The case was commenced yesterday. Evidence of boys to-dav was similar to that given yesterday. Detectives' evidence was that when taxed with the allegations, accused gave an unqualified denial of them. Without calling on counsel, the magistrate dismissed the charges, stating that no jury would convict, the boy witnesses, 011 their own admissions, being thoroughly unreliable.
