A meeting of the Masteilon Town Lands Trustees takes place this evening. There is»subtler/ legal distinction between the offence of breaking and entering and that l of simple larceny than most people are aware, says the N.Z. Times. In a case of larceny from a dwelling heard at tho Supreme Court yesterday, it appeared that the owner of the house which was entered by the; prisoner had left one window partly open for the purpuso'.of ventilation. 'Mr Justice Richmond took occasion to remark that strictly speaking this fact sufficed to reduce the offence alleged from burglary to larceny. If a man, intent upon felony, found a window partly open, and by raising the sash a little higher entered the dwelling, he could not be charged with breaking and entering. It was a'specimen of those "wonderful refinements of the old.criminal iaw which wouldbe contemptible if they 'had'nbtfiee'n sefiip andusod for the purpose of saving a man's neck, In the old Draconian days distinctions like these made all the'difference between the banging and no hanging, and, therefore, the barristers of a past age were'vety ingenious in raising and insisting upon suoh dißlinctions, :
