NO CASE TO ANSWER
[Per U.vited Press Associatjok.] WELLINGTON, November 29. Remarking that it would be a waste of time sending the ease on to a - jury, Mr d.G. L. Hewitt, 8.M., in the Police Court to-day dismissed a charge of the theft of musical instruments, gramophone parts, stationery, and other articles valued at £lO7 6s 9d, the property of Ernest Dawson Ltd., Wellington, preferred against Robert Harold Court, manufacturers’ representative, aged forty. It was alleged by the prosecution that Court had removed certain goods from a shop occupied by Ernest Dawson Ltd., without the authority of Mr Dawson, managing director of the company, while he was in Auckland. The magistrate, after hearing evidence by Mr Dawson and the principal witnesses for the prosecution, said it appeared to him that Mr Dawson had been in trouble and had made an arrangement whereby, when he went away, Court was to take security, and it was definitely fixed what he was to take. That appeared to be all that had hnp]>eiied.
