Tin's morning, in the Magistrate's Court,, before Mr. S. E. M'Carthy, S.M., William Barqlay Hall, who was charged with being helplessly drunk in Lambton-quay, was remanded for one week for medical treatment. The young man, Herbert William Gough, convicted at last criminal sessions of the Supreme Court of sending, threatening letters to a woman, demanding money, again came before the Chief Justice (Sir Bobert Stout).' In this case the jury brought in a strong recommendation to mercy, and Gough has been under medical observation for some time. To-day Sir Robert Stout agreed to the request of prisoner's counsel (Mr. P. W. Jackson) that Gough should be ordered to come up for sentence when called upon. Another charge pending against him will probably be heard at next sitting of the Supreme Court.
