SUPREME COURT.

NAPIER SESSIONS By Telegraph.—Press Association. Napier, June 7. In the Supreme Court to-day William Alfred Robert Fussell, on sixteen charges of housebreaking, theft and false pretences was sentenced to four years’ reformative treatment. ’ CHRISTCHURCH SESSIONS. Christchurch, Last Night. At the Supreme Court, Albert Cundy, who stole a motor-car, which he sold, and who claimed to have won the D.C.M., appeared again before Mr. Justice Adams, the case having been adjourned for enquiries at Wellington as to whether there was any record in the Navy List of a medal awarded to Cundy. To-day, the Crown Pro»«eutor wid th*

search had failed to find the name, and the Naval Secretary had stated that an alteration, had, apparently, been made on Cundy’s discharge. His Honor said he had an impression that the discharge did not belong to Gundy. Prisoner was sentenced to 12 months’ hard labour, His Honor remarking that the sentence would have been heavier but for the appeal for leniency made by the owner of the motor-car. At the Crown Prosecutor’s request the discharge was impounded, in order that the police may make further enquiries, William Whethen, who forged an engineer’s certificate twenty years ago, was admitted to probation for twelve months.
