SUPREME COURT.
SESSION AT DUNEDIN. Per Press Association. DUNEDIN, Alay 3. Tlie criminal sittings opened this morning, Air Justice Reed, addressing the Grand Jury, said that six persons were accused of crime. A man was charged with manslaughter or, alternatively, with driving a motor car negligently and causing tho death of a man. This was one of the usual motor oar cases-of which, unfortunately, there were so many. The defence suggested that the man knocked down dodged about in front of tho car and Giat it was his own fault he was killed. The driver of the car had no right to put a person in such a position. The person had to rapidly make up his mind to avoid being knocked down.
