The third t iai of Penton for complicity in the robbery o the Dominion Bank, at Naps. nee, was cone uded at Cobourg, on Saturday last. After an absence of fifty minutes the jury came into court and announ- ced that they found William Hamil- ton Ponton not guilty. PARE, HOLDEN AND ROACH. Pare Was sentenced to the Kingston Peni- tentiary for three years while Holden re- ceived- four leers. John T. Roach was allowed to go eipisn suspended sentence. WILD SCENE. i When the flu in came after an hour's absence and decl red Ponton not guilty, the wildest scene ev r witnessed in a Canadian court room oo u red. Men and women rose to their feet, 80 e mounting the benches, and the vast c wd cheered most uproar- iously. Hats an handkerChiefs were waved aloft,. and ro r efter roar of ch'eering rent the air. Whi e this "went on Mr. Ponton ;,, jumped from he dock, his mother threw her arms about hi neck and kissed him passion- ately, while h held her in a close embrace. After his dis barge his friends thronged about him an reseed his hand, some of them kissing in, while a few shed tears in the exuberan f their joy. Judge Boyd, when dischar n him, said: "The jury, by their eerdi t, have declared you free and the law has no f. rther claim on you, I do n not regret tha y connection with this case ends in this gr eable manner by ordering your disoliarg . ' The intense strain upon the prisoner jv4 shown m his pallid face, and firmly set li s, every vestige of colour having left his po ntenance. When the fore- man, Joimph . Varner, said "not guilty," Mr. Ponton e en then hardly realized that he was a free zjkiat. Momentarily he seemed dazed, but the cheering and congratulations soon -brought lin, back to himself and he left the room, foll weds by an admiring crowd. PONTON1 WANTED TO GO HOME. The enthus ` sin of the many who had come from Be leVille and Napanee was tre- mendous, and L,hardly had the news gone over the wires to the various cities of the pro- vince before congratulations began to pour in from Toronto and from various eastern points. Planters himself took a very sensible view of all thie. "1 don't want any brass band thie time," he said, "I want to go home." Ponton's wiihes with regard to the brass band were not consulted. Cobourg musici- ans were gotten eogether in a hurry, and in company with a troop of citizens, in rigs and on foot, followed, him to the railroad station when he embarked for Belleville, where his home -is. WHAT THE JuRysmEN SAY. Mr. Warne*, foreman of the jury; when interviewed seid: !tint the first poll, taken immediately atter we retired, the jury stood eleven to one in favor of acquittal. ' The one juror held that on a general view of the evi- dence it indidated guilt. The rest of us were in favour of giving the prisoner the the benefit of the doubt. We thought Pon - ton should 11143 been proven to have been in the company of the crooks. We were told to look far a doubt, and we found it." Other jurors who were interviewed confirm- ed this state tltint of the case. irr HOW THE HER PRISONERS TOOK IT.
