The Supreme Court was occupied all yesterday over a ease of assault and robbery, and the two men charged were acquitted, identification being insufficient. Some additional interest was lent to the case, as the offence occurred in connection with a drinking spree in Ashburton, a " dry " district, and some witnesses gave the police false information with a view to avoid disclosing where the liquor was obtained. To-day the Court was occupied with three cases of carnal knowledge of young girls. In the first ease a boy of 15 was found guilty, and sentence was deferred. In the second ease the accused pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to six months' imprisonment, while the third ease is proceeding. INVERCAPvCILL CASES.
