The Kirby Case.
A, VERDICT OF GUILTY. SENTENCE DEFERRED.
(By Telegraph.)
Special to Standard
Wellington, This day
After a very lengthy summing up by the Chief Justice, he concluded by asking the jury, in the event of finding a verdict of guilty against Kirby to say—(l) Whether they were satisfied a warrant had been in existence for Herman's arrest; (2) whether they were satisfied there was no warrant ; and (8) whether they were uncertain if there had been a warrant or not.
At 8,20 p.m. the jury retired, and returned into Courl at 10 o'clock with a verdict of guilty, and expressing themselves satisfied there was no warrant.
Sir Robert Stout asked that the following questions be reserved for the Court of Appeal:—(l) Whether the evidences as to Kirby's banking account had been properly admitted ; and (2) whether there had been any accusation or threat to Herman by accused*. Leave was granted, and sentence deferred until settled by the Court of Appeal in October.
