At the trial of the Timaru rioters Mr Stout delivered an address for the defence of an hour's duration. His chief argument was that although there had been a disturbance, no terror had been excited inch as to constitute a riot, and he appealed to the jury as Protestants, seeing that Catholics had been carefully challenged and excluded, to deal generously and acquit the accused, whose conduct he considered was excusable, ■eeing how their religious feelings were outraged by an offensive demonstration. Judge Ward began his summing-up by a melodramatic and affecting allusion to the way in which the bones of Catholics bow mingled with those of Protestants, and the desirability of the same harmony prevailing in life.
