Accused, who has been living here under the napte of Lindsay, was remanded tqi Wellington. Napier, March 18.

In his address to the Grand Jury at the opening of the Supreme Court, Justice Chapman said the number of charges. (twenty) was unduly large for a district of this size, and compared unfavourably with some other parts of the colony he had lately 1 visited. In some respects, however, the calendar was exaggerated in that several country •cases had been heard by justices who were unable to take the plea of guilty and commit for sentence. Christchurch, This Day.
