SUPREME COURT.
(By Telegraph—Press Association,
& I ( _ Dummy,. Friday. The jury in Hanson's case, housebreaking' at Hinton, could not agreo and wore discharged. A fresh trial is proceeding. In the case against Olmrles Gamble, bankrupt, for not keoping proper books and destroying books, Mr Solomon, for the accused, pleaded guilty on the first count which the Crown ■accepted.
The judge, in passing sentence, said the sooner it was known under the new Act that not keeping books by traders was punishable by imprisonment! he better, The result of passing heavy sentences in cases of this kind would certainly be to prevent juries,in present public opinion, from convicting which would be undesirable.
