Edward Clark (33), was sentenced to eighteen months' hard labour for forgery at Palmerston. —Arthur Dominick (21), who pleaded guilty to a charge of forgery at Dunedin, was sentenced to two years' hard labour.—John Grey (27), convicted of attempted arson at Bhleskin, was sentenced to three years' penal servitude.—Toseph Connor (23), who was found guilty of robbery from the person at Dunedin, was sentenced to four years' penal servitude, his Honor remarking that the prisoner had been convicted five times previously, aud appeared to be incorrigible.— Marion Maria Hogan Webb (28), who pleaded guilty to a charge of bigamy at Kawarau Gorge, on being challenged in the usual way, said her second marriage took place with the full consent of her husband. His Honor said : That consent only shows you helped to impose upon Thomas Leslie. You heard your husband, before you were married, say that he was your brother, and you did not contradict him. Ido not see how that mitigates your offence. However, you have pleaded guilty, and that shows you may have been under some delusion as to that consent j I shall therefore pass a lenient sentence on you. lhe sentence is, that you be imprisoned for six calendar months.
