The Te Aro House Case .
JURY LOCKED HP.
The trial of Craig, late manager of Te Aro House, on a'charge of stealing two cheques, was continued on Friday. Mr W. H. Carter, partner in Te Aro House, who arrived from England on Monday, gave evidence.' Craig, he said, was to get £SOO a year from him, and commission on witness’ profits. Craig could have drawn the latter so long as he entered it. If witness’ account was made up he should be debited with about £3OO for Craig’s commission. His Honor summed up strongly against Craig, and the jury retired at five-twenty p.m., but not having arrived at a verdict five hours later, they were locked up at night. With respect to the faot elicited in the evidence about the Te Are House indebtedness to the Bank of New Zealand, the Bank officials state that they hold ample security for the whole amount in the shape of a guarantee upon which more than j 430,000 could be advanced with gaiety.
