Hamilton, Friday. A verdict of not guilty was returned by the jury in the Supreme Court, at Hamilton, yesterday, after an hour's I'etirement, in the case in which an insurance agent, Basil Stanislaus Brogan, was charged with failing to acconnt for a sum of £40 11s 6d, money collected by him at Rotorua, on behalf of the Australasian Temperance and General Mutual Life Society on April 29. At the initial trial on Wednesday the jury disagreed after a retirement of four and a-half hours and a new trial was ordered. Yesterday, evidence on similar lines to the previous hearing was taken. The question the jury had to decide, His Honour, Mr. Justice Smith, directed, was whether the accused could have honestly believed that he had a right to hold the money in' question and put it to his own use.
