“DEPLORABLE STATE OF AFFAIRS”
CRIME IN AUCKLAND 1 DISTRICT Dominion Special Service. Auckland, May 8. “I regret I cannot congratulate the Auckland district on its freedom from crime, if one is to judge from the list before me. There are fifteen indictments against seventeen persons, and some are of a very grave nature —one of murder, one of rape, and six sexual offences. I am told this list is a smaller one than usual. ■ If so, it shows a somewhat deplorable state of affairs is in existence,” said Sir. Justice Macgregor in his address to the grand jury at the opening of the quarterly criminal session of the Supreme Court this morning.
