SUPREME COURT
SITTINGS AT HAMILTON. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Hamilton, Last Night. The criminal sessions of the Supreme Court opened to-day, Mr. Justice Herdman presiding. In his charge the judge said that generally speaking he could compliment the district on the absence of serious crime. Five of the eight prisoners for trial were either half-castes or Maoris. True bills were returned in all eases. Arthur Jeffry Durant was sentenced to twelve months’ hard labour on seven counts of issuing valueless cheques at Taumarunui. Leonard Edward Smith, formerly of New Plymouth, who escaped from custody at Waikeria, where he was serving a sentence of two years’ reformative treatment, had his Borstal s-mt-nee converted to one of twelve months’ hard labour.
