A PECULIAR CASE.
[by telegraph.] Cjtristchuuch, Monday.
J. D. Davis, an old age pensioner, was examined to-day as to his ability to comply with a judgment summons. He said he had a mania for the arrest of the horse fiend and had signed a bill for .£67 14s, without security, for Hill, a constable, who some months ago was sentenced to six months for robbing a prisoner. Hill told him he possessed information by which he could easily arrest the horse fiend, and only needed money. Shephard, who advanced the money, made Davis bankrupt. Mr Beetham Eaid the question was whether when Davis signed the bill ho intended to defraud, and reserved judgment to consider the matter.
