SUPREME COURT.
AUCKLAND SESSIONS. By Telegraph—Press Association. Auckland, Thursday. In the Supreme Court, in the case of Peter Frederick Hansen, who was charged with an attempted criminal offence, on a fourteen-year-old girl at Hukanniui, Mr. Justice Edwards, commenting on the evidence, said it was only right to prisoner to say that the girl's evidence was so unreliable as to make it probable that lie had never at any time misbehaved himself. He suggested a formal verdict of not guilty, which the jury agreed to without leaving the box. Accused was discharged.
