LIONEL TERRY.

HIS HIDING PLACE IN THE BUSH.

Lionel Terry, when he was captured on Thursday morning, did not submit quietly. The arresting party called ou him to surrender, but witli au exclamation of "No fear." tho fugitive turned and made a dasJi for cover. Terry's running powers had, however, been anticipated, for Constable Brien had been specially included in the party by reason of beiug the champion runner at the Dunedin station. Brien (the Otago Daily Times reports) followed Terry in a twinkling, clearing a fence in his stride, and, although Terry had a fairly good start, he quickly overhauled him. When the constable was close on his man, Terry turned round and let out a blow". He, however, missed his mark, and. Brien, rushing in, closed with the prisoner. A sharp struggle ensued, but Terry had met his match and was brought to the ground, where he was held until the other two of the party came up. The handcuffs were put on, and the fugitive was once more made secure. Terry expressed a desire to go to his hiding place, as he had some belongings he would like to take away. He accordingly led the constables to a whare, which he had constructed in the bush underneath a large rock, thatched over on top. That Terry had not lacked friends was at once made manifest, for in his place of hiding were discovered a Panama hat, a new pair of boots, a woolpack, some blankets, a few articles of food, and a pound note.
