SUPREME COURT.
A CHRISTCHURH SENTENCE. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Christchurch, May 11. In the Supreme Court Charles Brice, for indecently assaulting and attempting to carnally know a female 14 years of age was sentenced to three years’ hard labor on each count, the sentences to run concurrently. The judge said the sentence was not merely intended as a punishment for the crime committed by prisoner, but also to show men of similar inclinations, particularly those who were not averse to using violence to accomplish their ends, that the Court was there to vindicate the purity of young people and to protect young girls.
