FEW VIOLENCE CHARGES
AUCKLAND COURT (I'm- l'ross Association.) AUCKLAND, litis day. "There is one satisfactory feature about the calendar," said Mr. Justice Fair in a charge to the Grand Jury to-day, at the opening of the Supreme Court criminal session. "That feature is that apart from a charge of murder, there are only two charges which involve violence, and one of these apparently arose out of a party at which there was a good deal of drinking. The calendar, apart from the charge of murder, is very much of the usual type.", The jury found true bills against the following: Henry Ernest Whitcombe, alleged carnal knowledge: Gerald Joyce Bohec Knox, alleged theft; Alfred George Clegg, alleged assault, with intent; Charles Johnson, alleged indecent assault; William Keogli and Ernest George Caffery, alleged assault, causing actual bodily harm; George Herbert Fordo, alleged indecent assault.
