SUPREME COURT.

AUCKLAND SESSIONS. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, Tuesday. In the Supreme Court a girl named Isabel Sinclair pleaded guilty to concealing the birth of her child. Mr. Justice Cooper said he would deal with the case as he did with Alice Yates. He did not wish to give the impression that he considered the offence a minor one, but when young girls lapsed this way' through inexperience, and were sometimes lacking in moral training, the best eourse was that calculated to serve them in future. The girl was committed to the Door of Hope for eighteen months. DUNEDIN SESSIONS. Dunedin, Last Night.
