DUNEDIN.
This day.
The trial of Ah Lee and Lee Guy for the murder of Mrs Young, at Eyeburn, was continued at the Supreme Court to* day. The case for the Crown was concluded, and towards the end Mr McDermott spoke forcibly and eloquently for an hour and a half in defence. The Judge ruled against the advisability of the statement of Ah Lee in the implication of Lee Guy, but said he would admit it. and leave it for a full court to decide whether he was right or not under the circumstances. The Crown Prosecutor declined to put in the statement as evidence, and the Court adjourned.
