He did not raise hta eyes when placed in thedock. He appealed to be in excellent health, and somewhat stonier than formerly. His beard and hair have turned markedly more grey. Mclntyre was conveyed most unostentatiously from the police station lo the Court, and not even the customary Court loungers appeared to be aware that he would be charged this morning, as, save for the officials and a couple of solicitors, there was nobody present. Mclntyre was then charged that while director of exhibits at the New Zealand International Exhibition at Christchurch, on October Ist, 1906, he did steal the sum of L3l 6s, the moneys ot His Majesty King Edward VII. Mr Stringer : I appear for the Crown, and ask for a remand until Saturday morning. It may be found then that ic is not necessary to call evidence. I don’t think it is necessary to hav.e all the charges read. Mr Johnston: I appear for the ac cased, your Worship, and ask for bail.

The Magistrate : You have no objection Mr Stringer ? Mr No, your Worship. The Magistrate : Very well I will allow bail—himself in LIOO, and one surety ot LIOO, or two in LSO. ■ Mr Mclntyre was subsequently released on bail.

The following further charges are to be preferred againrt Mclntyre : Stealing L 35 Exhibition moneys on December 3rd, 1906; Cl2 on October 27th, 1906; and Ll 9 10s on November 21st. Obtaining L 5 on April 9th, 1907, by false pretences from Frank A. Cook. Obtaining L 7 from Aitken and Roberts by false pretences on April 9th. After his release on bail, Mclntyre declined to say anything to an interviewer, except to commend the extremely kind treatment he had received at the hands of Chief Detective Mcllveney from the time of leaving Monte Video until his arrival in Christchurch. Detective Mcllveney stated- that McIntyre had not given him a moment’s anxiety or the slightest trouble throughout the voyage round the world. Both of them had received every kindness, courtesy and consideration from the officers and passengers of the steamers and the Home authorities.
