THE CHRISTCHURCH ROBBERIES.
Appeal for a New Trial.
Press 'Association. ."""'• ' Wellington, Last Night; • Tho address of the prisoner Allandiie, in support of his application to tho Court of Appeal for a new trial, occupied some two and a half hours! Mr Stringer opposed the application on behalf of the Crown, submitting that the case -WM eminently one for a jury. It Wai no doubt a cose of purely circumstantial evidence, but the cumulative force of the whole of the evidence was very great. The verdict had been stiictly in accordance with the weight of evidence, if the jury believed the witnesses for the Crown, and that was a matter entirely for them. Prisoners having both spoken in reply, the Court reserved judgment, intimating that it would probably be delivered on Thursday morning.
