ONE CASE FOR TRIAL
SUPREME COURT OPENS AT PALMERSTON JUDGE’S CONGRATULATIONS Press Association PALMERSTON N., Today. The Supreme Court opened this morning: before Mr. Justice Ostler, who congratulated the district on the almost complete absence of serious crime in his charge to the Grand Jury. In addition to one prisoner for sentence there was only one case for trial. It was a charge of allegedly obtaining a small sum of money by false pretences, which could quite well have been dealt with in the Magistrate’s Court. The Grand Jury, in returning a true bill, expressed the opinion it was an unnecessary expense to have the case dealt with in the Supreme Court. His Honour agreed, saying that it was a pity the time of so many people must be wasted. It was stated that the case had been dealt with by justices of the peace in the Lower Court.
