    Percival John Hillbrick, a miner, appeared before the city bench at Bendigo on Monday charged with being in possession of gold for which he had failed to satisfy Sergeant McKenna that he had honestly acquired. Mr. O'Halloran, on behalf of accused, who pleaded guilty, stated that his client had been made the tool of another party. He had a wife and young family to support. Hitherto he had borne an excellent character for honesty and industry, and since his arrest had proved himself thoroughly repentant. The bench, sentenced him to six weeks' imprisonment, and made an order for the payment of £6 11s. costs.

    At the City Court on Thursday, a man named Percival John Hillbrick was charged with having in his possession appliances used in the treatment of gold and having failed to register the same with the police, as required by the Gold Buyers Act. Accused said he found the quicksilver at the back of a yard in Brazier street, Eaglehawk. The pestle and mortar, known as a dolly, he had had for 12 or l8 months, and bought it for powdering carbide for his bicycle lamp. He did not know until a few weeks ago that he had to register the dolly. The Bench fined him ?10, with ?2/12/ costs. The charge of having gold in his possession was adjourned until October 4.

    GOLD STEALING
    ARREST AT BENDIGO.
    Percival John Hillbrick, aged 32, a miner, residing in Nettle-street, New Chum, has been arrested on a charge of having been found in possession of gold
    for which he had failed to satisfactorily explain to the police. A second charge of having stolen the gold from the Goldfields Consolidated mines was preferred against him. Accused, who is a married man, took an active part in the movement some months back, when all the employees at the mine took a pledge to the effect that they would loyally stand by the company and use all their efforts to prevent gold stealing. He was steward at the mine for the Miners' Association. Hillbrick was seen by Sergeant McKennan and Constable Baysher to enter the coffee palace with another man, named Robert Mason, assayer of Castlemain, who had engaged a room at the hotel under the name of Knox. When the police followed them into the coffee palace they were searched, and on Mason was found the sum of £85 in sovereigns and in Hillbrick's possession was found about 1½ oz. of retorted gold, which he informed the sergeant he had picked up at various times in the streets, mostly about New Chum. Under the bed in Mason's room was found a pair of gold scales, but he denied any knowledge of them. After Hillbrick had been locked up, his house was searched, and the sergeant discovered a dolly and fryingpan which had evidently recently been used for treating gold. An additional charge of being in possession of implements for treating gold which had not been registered was entered against Hillbrick. Mason was allowed to go, but, acting under instructions from Superintendent Sainsbury, Sergeant McKenna retained the £85 until he has consulted
    the Attorney-General in regard to the matter.
