Mr Hankins appeared for the informant, and Mr Staite ror the defendants. Prosecutor deposed to holding services at Ashtirst which were disturbed by conduct of defendants m talking. They were asked to desist, but continued. They were then asked to leave the room. The objectiouoble conduct was still persisted m. They were advised to go or they would be summoned. Finally a general fight took place. Prosecutor was cross-examined by accused's counsel, aud denied that the meeting on Tuesday was a "free and easy "one. A man named Keeue had also 'disturbed the proceedings. Notwithstanding the interruption the' meeting was proceeded with, but its harmony was much disturbed by defen dants' behaviour. . ' Win. Francis gave corroborative evidence. He had himself asked the accused to discontinue their unseemly conduct. Win. Blasket deposed to the conduct of tho accused as calculated to disturb the meeting. They were talking and laughing very loudly. Frank Keene, for the defence, said he was " a general rouse-about." He was at the meeting at Ashurst when the alleged disturbance took place. When the Captain- was selling hymn-books the defendant Hughes asked if they would •• give tick." This remark caused a general laugh. Win. Johnston deposed that he was present at the meeting ; saw the defendants there, but they were not making a disturbance. ; John Harrison gave evidence to' a similar effect. ' The accused gave a general denial of the charge. ; His Worship lhought that m the face of the conflicting evidence given he could not convict the accused, and the .charge ivonld be dismissed without saying who was right. He must say that direct false evidence had been given on one side or the other.
