IMMORALITY.
VERY UNHEALTHY STATE OF AFFAIRS.
"Wellington. Aug. 14
The criminal sessions of the Supreme Court opened this morning. Judge Chapman, charging the Grand Jury, said that though the greater number of cases were c t a most ordinary kind, there >vt re some of a serious nature, and cue or two of exceptionally shocking kind. He was sorry to see session after session the same feature in a very marked degree, and in a more marked degree than in some of the southern provinces, of eases of sexual crime. The severe sentences passed did not seem to reduce the cases. There had been too many such cases, and there must be a very unhealthy state of affairs morally speaking.
