SUPREME COURT.
WELLINGTON SENTENCES. By Telegraph-—Press Association. Wellington, March 30. Tuft the Supreme Court, Mr. Justice Hosking sentenced Henry Harris Baver Tunnicliffe on a charge, of theft of jewellery from an hotel bedroom to two years’ reformative treatment. Venables Matthews was sentenced to seven years’ hard labor on three charges of indecent assault upon girls at Petone. The Judge said the offences were of a very gross nature and the prisoner should be kept under restraint. Two lads, Norman Paul Nesbit and Reuben Curtis Warnock, who absconded from Weraroa and broke and entered dwellings and committed theft, came up for sentence. Nesbit had a bad record and was ordered to be detained for three years’ reformative treatment at Invercargill, and Warnock was sentenced to detention for one year. Frederick William Dewhurst, for theft of a piano and gramophone from his own family, was admitted to strict probation for two years.
