Auckland, Nov. 39. Mr Kettle, S. M., gave reserved judgment in the case in which a number of Chinese gardeners were for working at their Wdinary avocations on a Sunday. /He said that after a long spell. of wet weather, the conditions improved on Saturday night, and the Chinese considered it necessary for the safety of the crop to get it in on Sunday. In the special circumstances the work was reasonably necessary, but preparation for vegetables for sale could have been done on Monday. Those defendants who gathered and prepared vegetables on a Sunday in full view of the public highway were fined 5s each and costs but the charges against those engaged in saving the potato crop were dismissed. Christchurch, Nov. 30. • A prisoner named Archibald Campbell McKenna, undergoing years for rape, who escaped ■from the Hanmer prison last evepning, was recaptured to-day.
