SUPREME COURT
THE NAPIER SESSION. By Telegraph—Press Association Napier, January 14. The Supremo Court session opened to-day. His Honour, Mr. Justice Hosting, in addressing the grand jury, said that this was the first occasion in 6omo four years that .the Court had riot sat under the shadow of a great war. Unfortunately the horrors of the war had been followed by the influenza epidemic, and this had been the cause of 'the postponement of the sitting.' Fortunately the work to be submitted was small, and the calendar showed no sexual cases. W. A. Cleland was sentenced to two years' reformative treatment for breaking and entering, to which he had pleaded guilty in the Lower Court. R. V. Martin was found guilty of falsely registering a child as that of his wife when it belonged to another woman. He will be sentenced tomorrow.
