The following prisoners were sentenced by Judge Adams: — Frederick Ashley Neale, a land dealer, failure to keep proper books, three months’ imprisonment. Ernest Couper Smith, 46, theft of goods valued at £968, while acting as a company manager; admitted to probation for two years and ordered to make restitution.

NEW TRIAL GRANTED. Washington Irving Carney, a woolbroker, convicted of contracting a debt of £l7 without reasonable expectation of ability to pay, also appeared for sentence, but sentence was postponed as the Crown applied for a new trial on a charge of bringing about bankruptcy by extravagant living on which the jury disagreed last week. Judge Adams agreed, and the new trial begins to-morrow.
