SUPREME COURT.
At Auckland Kerei Kaihu and his wife were both found guilty of obstructing the police at Mercer. Judgment was deferred. In the case of Mrs McOallum, the palmist, who is charged with fortunetelling, the jury disagreed, and, after being locked up twelve hours, were discharged, and a fresh trial took place on Monday. At Wellington the second trial of James and Thomas Eastwood, for the fish cement swindle, resulted in their conviction. They were sentenced to nine months’ imprisonment. The prisoner Chatterley, who was also implicated with them, hearing of the verdict, expressed a desire to plead guilty. The Judge was sent for, and, returning to the Court, sentenced him to nine months also, and James Eastwood to the same term, to run concurrently with the previous sentence. Although the session lasted two weeks, and 22 cases were disposed of, only ten convictions were obtained, and in five of those cases the prisoners pleaded guilty.
