THE TIMARU POISONING CASE.
[BY TELEGRAPH.OWN CORRESPONDENT.! '\ xm vko, Saturday. Th.c prisoner Thomas Hall and Margaret Graham Houston were taken to Cbristchuroh this morning by the early train. As it was not generally known that they were to go by the train there were very few people at the station. The male prisoner looked very downcast, and his hands and arms were covered with an opossum rug to oover the handcuffs. Houston looked equally dejected. The prisoners seem to be realising the responsibility of the position in which they are placed more than at the magisterial inquiry. Nothing has been allowed to transpire as to the result of the examination of the remains of the late Captain Gain, and although all sorts of rumours are afloat they are founded upon pure surmise, the doctors and prosecution being determined to keep their own counsel in the matter. Christchurch, Saturday. On the application of the Crown Prose* cutor, Mr. Justice Johnston granted a special jury in the Timaru poisoning case, which will bo taken on Monday week.
