SUPREME COURT.
Per Press Association.
WELLINGTON, November 26.
The further Stoke Orphanage cases had to be postponed for a few days, in consequence of an accident to Mr Skerrett, one of the counsel for the defence, who was injured on Saturday when playing in the polo games. The Chief Justice gave judgment to-day in a case in which Mr George Hutchison, M.H.R., sought to have his name struck off the list of shareholders in the Western Packing Company, Patea. The Court refused the application, holding that while there had been misrepresentation in the original prospectus, the position of the company had afterwards been made clear to plaintiff. The case in which Mary Henderson is charged with having caused the death of Mary Winifred Luke, in an operation for abortion, began at the Supreme Court toDUNEDIN, November 26. Mr Justice Williams, in charging the Grand Jury, said that none of fthe cases called for special comment. True bills were returned in all cases. In the first case, Sarah Jones, charged with stealing a set of spring cart harness at Cromwell, was acquitted.
