Mohi Turei, at Turanganui. The following are a few particulars from the Home News as to Mie Tichborne trial:— “ To the jury has been paid £2900 ;to the shortland writers, close on 2000; to the printers, nearly £4OOO. The prosecuting counsel—five in all—have swallowed over £14,000. Thedefendant’s counsel are paid miserably compared with the prosecution, but the exact amount is not known. Some of the witnesses for the prosecution received very large fees—one £lOOO, another £7OO, and a third £5OO. Of course they come from Australia and Chili, and their evidence was deemed necessary. Altogether the ‘ little bill, on one side alone, when it comes to be added up, must reach close on £150,000.”
