SUPREME COURT
Criminal Sessions Opened
. “I am glad to be able to inform you that the list of business is comparatively short,’’ said Mr. Justice Blair in his charge to the Grund Jury nt the opening of tlie criminal sessions of the Supreme Court iu Wellington yesterday. One pleasing feature was that except for one case of assault, which was not very grave, there were no cases involving violence. “We have unfortunately lately been somewhat troubled by people who endeavour to enforce their views on the pubac as to whether or not we should carry on the present war against the Axis Powers," his Honour continued.- Some go as far as trying, by means of subversive action, to throw a spanner into the works as far as the national war effort is concerned. Two cases of this nature were to be considered by the Court. There were eight cases on the calendar. The Grand Jury found a true bill in all, but no bill on the fifth of five counts against one man of failing to account tor money. , . , Charges included subversion, failure to account for money, assault with intent to commit rape, breaking and entering a shop with intent to commit a crime, theft and receiving stolen goods, and breach of the Secret Commissions Act.
