In his charge to the Grand Jury, at the opening of the Supreme Court at Nelson, Mr Justice Richmond referred to the unhappy events which had so lately occurred in the North Island, and said that whilst the lives of children and the honor of women were not safe, ho could not congratulate the colony on any progress which it might hare made in minor details of refinement and civilisation. He paid a high compliment to the province of Nelson, which, he said, had always distinguished herself by her wideness of sympathy, which she would doubtless manifest at the proper moment on the present occasion.
