SUPREME COURT.
WELLINGTON SESSIONS. By Telegraph.—Per Press Association. Wellington, Yesterday. At the Supreme Court criminal sessions to-day, William Amos Mullins, who created a sensation at 102, Clyde Quay, on the night of August 13, by attempting to murder his wife and to commit suicide, was sentenced to imprisonment with hard labour for the term of his natural life on the charge of attempted murder, and on the charge of attempted suicide ordered to come up for sentence when called upon. His Honour remarked that to let prisoner go would be \to risk the life of the community. The sabredness of human life was the basis of civilisation, and if it lost this it would go to perdition. John Ryan, for receiving stolen property, was sentenced to two years' imprisonment.
