AUCKLAND, Feb. 13. Mr Justice Kennedy’s debut on. the Supreme Court Bench was marked by a mild sensation to-day. Cyril Kevan McKenna and John Siddens were charged with assault and robbery. McKenna walked quietly into the dock, but a violent struggle took place between Siddens and a constable, the former being eventually forced into the dock alongside of McKenna.
Counsel explained that his client’s attitude was due to a mistake as he was under the impression that he was being forced into the witness box.
