INTERPROVINCIAL.

[Per United Press Association.] SUPREME COURT. Dunedin, July 8. Judge I Williams in charging the Grand Jury said although the number of cases was in excess of the average, there were none of a serious character, the majority being larcenies of common place description. The only special feature in the calender was that a number of females were among the accused. James McNeill and James McFarlane pleaded guilty to a charge of housebreaking, the former being sentenced to six months, and the latter, who is an old offender in Christchurch, to three years. The bill against Eliza Cummins, for larceny, was thrown out. Philip Demerech, for forgery, got six months. Edward Adam was convicted of house breaking and sentence deferred. BURGLARY.
