Simmonds, a Christchurch case, that the conviction could not be sustained on the ground |that the alteration did not materially alter the effect of the cheque. In the full Court of Appeal this morning judgment was delivered in the Otago gold-stealing-Ciise, Eegina v. Brown. The prisoner, Henry Brown, was indicted in Queenstown, Otago, for stealing and embezzling sixtyfour ounces of gold, the partnership property of himself and John Mollor. At the trial the prisoner's counsel demurred to the indictment, stating that lie relied upon judgment given by Justice Eichmoud at kelson on April, 1872, on a similar case, holding that under the Larceny Act Amendment Act, 1870, a partner could not be indicted for stealing partnership property, in other words, holding that the Act of 1870 was a dead letter. The Chief Justice held that the first count in the indictment was good, but that the second, third, and fourth were bad. All the other Judges read a written judgment concurring with that of the Chief Justice. The demurrer raised to the conviction was therefore overruled. Dunedin, May 31.
