BLENHEIM.
This day. A singular charge of stealing a five pound note at the Grove town Hotel was investigated in the B.M. Court to-day. William Fisher, who was employed at the Hotel, is alleged to have stolen it out of the prosecutor's bedroom on Monday night. The landlord of the hotel, suspecting the accused, succeeded by threats and promises of money in inducing him to admit the theft, and the landlord took him to a telegraph pole in the High road, at the foot of which accused picked up and handed him a match-box containing the note. The prosecutor, a man named Fiddler, was so drunk and badly behaved in Court that Mr Allen, K.M., declined to take his evidence, and accused was remanded till Friday.
