pied. Before going he locked the house, and returned at 10.50 p.m. He had left some money in a cigarette tin in a wardrobe. The amount was £1 10s 3d. His wife went to the tin to change a £1 note, and witness found the tin and money were missing. There were also some sovereigns and half-sovereigns in a cashbox in the wardrobe. He found the cashbox which .should have contained £l4, made up of 10 sovereigns and eight half-sovereigns. There were four sovereigns and a halfsovereign missing. He examined the premises and found that the intruder had entered through the bedroom window. The bathroom window was also open. No one had authority to enter his house and take the money. The total amount missing was £6 Os 3d. He knew the accused, who was employed by witness. Constable Tretheway stated he made inquiries into a complaint made by the previous witness, in reference to some person entering his house and stealing a sum of money. He interviewed the accused on February 19, who said he did not know that any person had taken from the house. Witness took a statement in which accused said he had never seen a sovereign or half-sovereign in his life. Witness told accused the statement was incorrect. Accused admitted it was untrue, and made k further statement in which he stated he knew Mr Hopley was at his parents’ place on February 15, where accused stayed. He then went to Mr Hopley’s place and found the leadlight in the bedroom open, and he entered the building and took the money. Witney made inquiries, and found that the four sovereigns and the half-sovereign had been spent, as stated by the accused. Witness then charged him with the offence.

Harry Sorley, tobacconist, Oamaru, gave evidence that accused came to his shop on February 17, and gave witness a sovereign for goods and 13s 6d change. Witness remarked to accused that he had a sovereign some years ago, and it brought him bad luck. Accused replied that he had had the sovereign for five years, and it hadn’t brought hita bad luck. He also said he had another halfsovereign. Alexander ; Morrison Miller, mercer, Oamaru, also, gave evidence of accused paying him £2 10s in gold as a deposit on goods supplied. AVitness passed a remark that it was rather Unusual to be paid in gold, and accused replied that he had had the sovereigns for some time. Accused pleaded guilty, and was committed for sentence at the next sitting of the Supreme Court at Dunedin. PUKEURI FREEZING WORKS.
