CRIMINAL SESSIONS.
OPENING THIS MORNING.
TWENTY-ONE CASES FOR TRIAL.
The first criminal sessions of the year will open in the Auckland Supreme Court this morning before Mr. Justice Blair. It is most unusual for the Auckland sessions to be conducted by only one Judge, but Mr. Justice Kennedy, of Wellington, who is to take up duty hero later, will not arrive from the south until next Tuesday. Twenty-one cases have been set down for trial, among them being a number involving sexual offences and five charges of breaking and entering and theft. The case in which most popular interest is likely to be centred is that in which David McKenzio Stewart and Roy Patrick Hitching are charged with having taken part in the dramatic hold-up of a motor-car at Westfield in November.
