HOUSEBREAKING CHARGES.
COUNSEL WITHDRAWS AND ACCUSED PLEAD GUILTY.
Wellington, Yesterday
The trial of the two brothers, Arthur Charles Cudby and Mervyn John Cudby, in the Supreme Court on five charges of housebreaking, took a somewhat dramatic turn toward the end, when counsel for accused, Mr R. 11. Boys, begged leave to withdraw from, the case, as the evidence which had been given conflicted witli the instructions in his brief. This was followed by Arthur Cudby abruptly withdrawing liis previous plea of not guilty. He said he wished to enter a plea of guilty on all five charges, and withdrew his allegations against tbe police. He was remanded for sentence. In the ease of the other brother, the jury, after an absence of 20 minutes, returned a verdict of guilty. Both men will be sentenced to-morrow.
