AUCKLAND, November 29.
When the Supreme Court opened this morning his Honour asked Mr O'Meagher what be had to say about the Rotorua perjury cases. Mr O'Meagher said he had not yet had time to consult with Mr Humphreys, who was in court. His Honour said, "1 know nothing about Mr Humphreys." Mr O'Meagher then asked that tbe cases might be allowed to stand over until two o'clock. His Honour said he was astounded at the indictments. The way the cases were brought before the Graud Jury displayed gross ignorance or worse. He might say there was not the slightest blame attached to Mr O'Meagher iv the matter. Mr Purchase said if an adjournment were _granted until two o'clock the cases might tor convenience sake be adjourned further. Mr O'Meagher's request for an adjournment until two o'clock was then granted by his Honour. Mr Purchase was in Court after the luncheon adjournment but tbe case was not called.
