THE CRIMELESS SOUTH.
WHITE GLOVES FOR HIS HONOR. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) INVERCARGILL, this day. When the sittings of the Supreme Court opened there was no crimiaal business, and Judge Williams was presented with a pair of white gloves. The Crown Prosecutor said this was the fourth occasion during recent years that no criminal cases had been set "before the Court. Judge Williams expressed great satisfaction that this district and the •whole of Otago should be free from serious crime. He was glad to say that the habitual criminal did not find the climate of Otago and Southland suited to him. Why there should be so little crime there and so much, unfortunately, in other parts of the Dominion it was difficult to say, remarked his Honor.
