SUPREME COURT.
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) Timaru, last night. The criminal sessions opened this morning before Mr Justice Cooper. There are only two cases. Win. Evans, who pleaded guilty in the lower Court, was sent up for sentence for breaking and entering a dwelling and stealing money. He had been previously convicted, and was sentenced to threo years’ hard labor. The only case submitted to the Grand Jury was that of Jeremiah McCarthy, charged with manslaughter of Thomas Sullivan at Waihaoa in 1895. He was charged with murder at the time, and the Grand Jury threw out the Bill. Additional direct evidence had been obtained from one of his daughters, a child of 12 to 13, at the time of the occurrence. The Grand Jury found a true bill, and the case is likely to occupy two days.
