AUCKLAND.
April 18
At the opening of the Supreme Court on Friday morning the jury returned a verdict of acquittal in tbe case of Procoffi, charged with the Te Aroha murder. It is rumored that nine jurymen were favorable to an acquittal from the first in consepuence of their view of Sergeant Mulville's evidence, two yielded subsequently, and only one held on till this morning. The prisoner was greatly agitated. He crossed himself to tbe judge, the jury, and the spectators, and then clasped his bands in aD attitude of prayer. The Maoris are very dark over bis acquittal.
