SUPREME COURT.
TPREPS ASSOCIATION.]
INVERCARGILL, March 3. The Siroreme Court session opened to-day before Mr Justice Williams. There are only four cases, against six persons. True bills were found in all cases. John Templeton, aged 54, pleaded guilty to sheep-stealing. Counsel applied for probation, as the prisoner, who had lived in Southland for 47 years, had an unblemished record. His Honor said that sheep-stealing was very common, and difficult to detect, and when detected should always be punished as a deterrent. A sentence of two years' hai'd labour was imposed.
