CHRISTCHURCH. 18th April.
Schwartze's case is withdrawn owing to plaws in the indictment. His Honor commented most strongly on the carelessness displayed in drawing it up. He said that without pre -judging the case so far as the evidence had been given there was a strong prima facie case. His Honor stated that an indirect attempt had been made to influence his mind on the subject of the indictment by sending a letter addressed to bis Secretary into Court, and marked urgent. This was a most unparalleled case, and he would consider what steps would be taken iv tbe matter.
