INVERCARGILL FREE FROM CRIME.
Invercargill, February 25, The Supreme Court has opened. There was no criminal business, and Sir Joshua Williams was presented with a pair of white gloves.
The Crown Prosecutor said this was the fourth occasion during recent years that no criminal cases were set before the Court.
Judge Williams said it was a cause for high satisfaction that this district and the whole of Otago should be free from serious crime. “ I am glad,” he said, “ to see the habitual criminal does not find the climate of Otago and Southland suited to him. What is the exact reason there should be so little crime here and so much unfortunately in other parts of the Dominion is difficult to say.”
