SUPREME COURT.

SENTENCES PASSED. ! WELLINGTON, May 13. At the Supreme Court, the following sentences were passed: Henry Grell and Sidney Grell (breaking and entering) one year on each charge and both were declared habitual criminals. Arthur Brown (indecent assault on a male), two years' hard labour; Lawrence Egmont Windsor, four years' reformative detention for breaking and entering and theft. Arthur Gorham (receiving stolen goods), three years' hard labour. Mer- | yyn John Cudby (breaking and enter- | ing) three years' reformative detention. Cudby had, said Mr Macassey, given information from which four of the revolvers had been found, and others were being searched for. His Honor said that he would, as he had promised, take this into consideration in passing sen- ' tence. It appeared from Cudby's record, he said, that he had been deported from Canada as an undesirable at ten years of age—a terrible record for one so young. The use of explosives showed that the crime was a studied one, and of a grave nature. i g.-I — ' ' . T I
