MORVEN. November 11. Joseph W. Twine, charged with obtaining money under false pretences, was brought before the court here yesterday and discharged. The evidence showed that Twine had made arrangements with Boyle, who laid the information, to buy in furniture for him at the bailiff’s sale of his goods. After Twine had left Morven, Boyle got a warrant issued for his arrest for selling goods and appropriating the money, and denied that he purchased for Twine at the sale. Mr. Hill, the Police Magistrate, discharged the accused, and said he was certainly of the opinion that Boyle was buying in for him. He considered the whole affair a most trumpery proceeding.
The verdict was received with applause in court, which was crowded.

BEFORE THE MAGISTRATES METROPOLITAN COURTS. MAN ROBBED.
"Both the defendants have records," said Senior Sergeant D. McGrath, when in the Police Court, before Mr. H. L. Archdall, O.P.M., he prosecuted Harry Twine (33), labourer, and John McCabe (31), seaman.
The charge against the defendants, was that, on April 30, at Stanley St, South Brisbane, they stole 18/- and a pair of soles, of a total value of 18/9, the property of John Booth. Senior Sergeant D. McGrath prosecuted, and Mr. J. J. O'Connor represented the defendants, who pleaded guilty.
The police prosecutor told the court that the defendant Twine accosted the complainant and asked him for a "smoke." The complainant refused the request, and then Twine held him and robbed him. The defendant McCabe, who did not take any part in the robbery, helped Twine to spend the stolen money in drink.
Mr. Archdall discharged McCabe, and sentenced Twine to three months' imprisonment.
