The man Allendale, arrested on a charge of being concerned in the jewellery robbery at Wellington, was brought up at the R.M. Court, Christchurch, yesterday. Three watches which he had pawned in Christchurch were identified by Mr Rash, employee of Jenness, as part of the stolen property. Prisoner was remanded to Wellington. It is rumored that the police have acquired information as to the whereabouts of the remainder of the jewellery stolen from Jenness’ shop, Wellington, and also as to the other accomplices in the robbery. Miss' Sperry, of Wellington, has been entrusted with the task of painting a portrait of Mr Macandrew to be placed in the University, Hall Dunedin. News from Samoa states that the annexation trouble seems to have disappeared. The Chambers of Commerce at Auckland, Christchurch, and Dunedin have decided to send a delegate to Samoa. A man named Richard Fayille was arrested 1 on Saturday night on a charge of arson at Oeo ; (Auckland), Faville had been turned out of an hotel for being drunk and disorderly, and soon after the occupants of the house had gone to bed a large box containing some inflammable material was found to be burning close to the outside wall of the house (a wooden one). Faville was discovered crouching behind a fence near the hotel. A woman named Johanna Moore, was committed for trial at Christchurch on Monday on a charge of larceny the circumstances of which are peculiar. Two ladies were at the Christchurch railway station last Saturday, and went to a private apartment, in which one of them left, her purse containing over £2O. The accused entered the apartment just after, and pocketed the purse. She did not give information to the police or to the railway officials, but hurried away in company with a friend. The lady having missed her purse and remembered where she left it, suspicion was directed to the woman Moore, who was called back by a constable. She did not then tell him of her find, and it was only when directly asked if she had found any money that she produced the missing purse. Mr Beetham, R.M., considered the case to be just on the borderland between larceny and no larceny and left it for a jury to determine whether there was any intention to steal.
