_Cui Bono._--What is the true rendering of the Latin phrase _Cui Bono_?

Most text-books say it means "For what good?" or, "What use was it?" But

Francis Newman, in p. 316. of _Hebrew Monarchy_, says it means "who gained

by (the crime)," and quotes _Cicero pro Milone_, xii. § 32., in favour of

his meaning.
