SUPREME COURT SITTINGS.
WELLINGTON. November 3. In opening the criminal sessions of the Supreme Court to-day Mr Justice Chapman expressed pleasure that the duties of the grand jury would be light. About 10 bills would be laid before the jurors, and most of them would be of an ordinary type. In one case a man was charged with attempting to murder his wife, and in another a man was charged with a serious offence on a girl under the age of consent. Three seamen, Joseph Maynard, Laurence Allen, and William Cleaver were found not guilty on a charge of assaulting Louis Anderson during a row on the steamer Kumara. George Reed pleaded guilts to a charge of the theft of postal notes at Palmerston North, and was admitted to probation for three years. George Bint admitted breaking and entering a house at Carterton and the theft of a watch, and was ordered to come up for sentence when called upon. Angel Millis Doel, a young woman, pleaded guilty to a charge of bigamy, and was ordered to be detained for four months for reformative treatment.
