WELLINGTON.
Mondny,
The Supremo Court sittings opened to-day before the Chief Justice. With regard to uttering valueless cheques, the Chief Justico remarked that the charge of false pretence could be supported even if the person who uttered a cheque made no verbal representations in doing so. He also pointed out that a medical certificate for an absent jurymen was of no use; it was necessary that all certificates should be supported by evidence on oath. T/here were thirteen cases, three of obtaining money by false pretences, others of larceny, and one of robbery with violence. True bills were found in all but one.
