THE CHABGES OF FOKGEBY AGAIJSST THOMAS HALL.
Chbistchurch, October 26. The prolonged criminal session of the Supreme Court came to a close to-day. No doubt in expectation of seeing Hall in prison clothes, a large crowd assembled at the courthouse. They were, however, disappointed. The Crown prosecutor (Mr Martin) informed the court that the only remaining cases were those of forgery against Thomas Hall, and in each of these cases —l 2in all — a nolle prosequi had been entered by the Crown. His Honor Mr Justice Johnston said as the Attorney-general had entered a nolle
prosegui in these cases the calendar was exhausted. Although Hall was brought up from Lyttelton in charge of Mr O'Brien, the gaoler, it was not deemed necessary by his Honor that he should be put in the dock.
