BREAKING AND ENTERING
PREVALENCE IN SOUTHLAND
"DISQUIETING AMOUNT OF CRIME.”
MR. JUSTICE KENNEDY PERTURBED
By Telegraph—Press Association. Invercargill, Last Night.
The quarterly session of the Supreme Court at Invercargill was opened this morning before Mr. Justice Kennedy. There was a long list of criminal and civil cases.
“I regret I must- tell you that the list of business for this criminal session discloses a disquieting amount of crime in your district,” said his Honour in his address to the Grand Jury. “You have not escaped the wave of breaking and entering. “Three persons with pleas of guilty await sentence on charges of breaking and entering. Accusations will be made against seven persons and in three cases thirteen charges of breaking and entering are involved. In some instances two or more persons are said to have acted in concert, and there is some duplication in the charges to which I’ refer, but even allowing for this it still remains that crime has been unusually prevalent in Southland.”
