SUPREME COURT.

The Sew ©rimiKal Cotl«*.

Wellington. August 4 The criminal sessions opening < n Mon day are being held a month earlier than usual, which partly accounts for the small calendar. There are thirteen cases against eight prisoners—all of an ordinary description, Wellington, August 6. Addressing the Grand Jury this morn ing, Bis Honor Mr Justice Richmond re ferred to thelightnesa of the calandar which only contains eight ctsea. He said eince the adoption o* the Criminal Code Act, judge, counsal, and jury had all, as it were, to go to school again. The old fashioned terras of larceny, embezzlement, and false pretenoea had disappeared, and were now comprehended under the term of " theft" ; and m this respect he thought the change a good one. Ho re ferred as some length to 88cticn 218 of the Act.defining theft, and explained that the essence ot that offence now practically consisted of converting to one's own use that which belonged to someone else. He made these observa tions ia consequence of an exceptional case appearing on the list-—a charge by a solicitor against a man of snatching tip and carrying out of his office a bill of sale, which was m favor of the man him self. The solicitor, however, had a special lien over the bill, and his Honor pointed out that it would have, according to the Act, to be made clear that the man intented to deprive the solicitor per manently of his interest m che chattel. The same section also dealt with a case m whichaman was charged with fraudulently converting to his own use a cheque which he had found. He also dealt at some length with section 220, and its bearing on a charge of embezzlement by a co partner. , ft. Parsloe pleaded guilty to five charges of forgery and uttering. He had just served three years for five similar charges, and was sentenced to three years' hard labor again.

FOOTBALL.

By Three-quarter Back. As the Ellesmere match of last Wednes day was the cleverest and irost interest ing game yet played here, a few remarks on the play from a scientific point of view, may not be ©ub of place, consider ing the many enthusiasts there are m Ashburton. When the game started it was generally supposed by the spectators, that because Eliesxnere got off immediately some very quick aad neat passing rushes, their backs were better than ours, and consequently, would beat us. The sup position that their backs were better than ours was a fallacy. The real explanation of the matter is, that the Ellesmere team got their backs to work and the Ashburton team did not. How was this ? Simply because the Ashbur.on men were badly beaten m the tight scrimmages, and m this lies the secret of Wednesday's game. The black forwards packed smartly and held the scrims. They then either heeltd out or screwed, thus enabling their halves to feed continuously. This accounts for their immediate and determined passing rushes. Had the yellow men held the scrims their halves would have done exactly the same thing, with the exception that the rushes of the yellow backs would i have been of a much more powerful nature; for the Ashburton backs being stronger, were better dodgers, more power* ful runners, and far better fenders. This was easily seen by their direct runs, com pared with the line-inclined runs of the Ellesmere backs. There is nothing surer to mymind than this—that the visitors were enabled to make the determined atttack which they did, simply because their quisk-packing forwards held the szrim, and enabled their halves to feed their backs. The natural slowness of the Ash- j burton men m getting to work, accounts j m a smaller degree also, for the tern-, porary advantage the visitors had. It j was generally supposed that the Ash burton forwards were much heavier than their opponents. This was another fallacy of the spectators. They were actually on tie average, lighter. Men m black football uniform generally Appear smaller than they really are. The failure of the Ashburton forwards to hold the 6crim may be accounted for m several ways. First, several of the men were playing together for the first time this season, and showed sadly the same fault as they did against J^orth Canter bury, a want of quick and accurate scrim mage packing- This is the weak spot of the team and it will be so as long as the men go out to play a match without ever having a practice together. The men have the ability but they sadly want the practice. Second, the middleman who took Williams' place at the last moment, failed not only to keep his front men to gether, bub also to keep a steady weight on them. Third, one of the whig forwards put his weight m and the other did not. This misunderstanding actually helped the black men to screw on to Healy's side, which they invariably did. Fourth, the very quick packing of the black men, coupled with the fact that they also got their shove on Very smartly, was another reason for the temporary discomfiture of the yellow forwards. When the home forwards found tha,t they were badly beaten m the tight work, they were in clined to give up fighting for tha scrim, and so allowed Jilleamere to screw, and it was here that the backs failed completely to improve their advantage. The rush that should have followed their success m the scrum, was nullified by the good play of Healy, Upton, and Curtis, and though Glendinning and Itennie made desperate eflortn to pick up and throw for the open, they were latterly rarely successful. This was thfi turning point of the game -where the Ashburton defence became gradually an Ashburton attack. Hence it is now easily understood why the Ellesmere became less m evidence, aidless efhetive than it was during the first spell of the game. This apparent tiring of the black backs may be accounted for by the fact that the Ashburton wings and halves were rapidly improving, and as the game wore on they scarcely ever gave the black halves a chance. Occa sionally the visitors would break away after carrying a scrim, only to be repulssd by the superior line work of the tall yellow men. The pay of Gromie, Cox, Baird, and Bourke was at times really clever. Another feature of the game was the following up and dribbling of Haaly. He was well backed up m the closer rashes, but at times the little fellow dashed away quite on his own account. His style of game is one that all the forwards, especially the lighter ones, can copy with great ad vantage. Dribbling is very much neglected m the A.F.C. I do not remember ever seeing the men at dribbling practice. They practice kicking and punting, but; seldom dribbling. Let me tell the forwards this, that it was mainly the strong dribbling powers of the Kaiapoi team that enabled them to bsat Merivale latoly. R. Young and F. Holley on one or two occasions gave some neat exhibitions of dribbling. Yet another feature of the game was the brilliant kicking of Tom Pauling, his ! goal kicked sixty yards from the poles was the finest performance I have 6ver seen, I am much mistaken if it is not a local record m the matter of goal kick ing. Just a word about the Ellesmere passing. For a time It looked very neat and pretty but afterwards turned out to be a shoddy article that wouldn't wear well, The practice of sending a pass on the bounce may look very neat, but it has so many faults that I am • sur prised at Glendinning allowing such an old fashioned style among his men. It is net only slower than the direct pass, but more likely to be inaccurate ; for, playing with an oval ball the chances are that it will kick on the ground, and bounce m a direction never intended. One fatal objection to it is that it necessitates the use of two hands to receive it, and thns prevents the use of the outside arm for fending. To conclude, the teams were very equal, but T consider that with an ! equal amount of practice the Ashburton team is a much more powerful combina tion than Ellesmere. However, I hope our boys will play many -teams like Ellesmere ; for they are not; only the j cleverest but the most gentlemanly p!ayers we have had visit, us. As usual Mr Armer Orr gave the utmost satis faction as referee. True, the visitors thought that he allowed the halves and wings rather much freedom m racing round the scrim, and perhaps he was nob quite so strict as the Ellesmere players found Mr Cresawell at Leeston lately However, this is a matter of opinion. On one point I must congratulate Mr Orr, and that was m stopping the game the moment the ball was held. In this way he saved a lot of'play which is generally rough and unseemly. His decisions were as a rule quick and accurate.

The final round for the North Canter bury Senior Championship was played on Saturday afternoon, and the result places Kaiapoi at the head of the list. In the match Kaiapoi v Linwood the former won by 6 points to 3 points; Christchuych beat Canterbury College by 8 pointy, to.. 7 points, and Sydenham were successful over E»st Christchurch by 5 points to nothing.
