SUPREME COURT.-This Way.

Criminal Sessions.

(Before His Honor Air Justice Gillies.) Tub quarterly criminal sessions of the Supreme Court Mere opened this morning, His Honor taking his seat upon the Bench at 10 o'clock precisely. THE GRAND JURY. The following gentlemen wore sworn in as the Grand Jury :— Henry Brett, Ebonezcr Cardno, Lovi Coupland, Edward .folm Cox, Robert Vincent Ellis, Thomas Soddoii Evans, William Paul Featherston, William Henry Fenton, Robort George Fountain, Frederick Nelson Goovgo, Charles William Goodson, John Russell Cray, James Honton, Alfred John lloujrhton, J toward Hutton, William Johnstonc, Henry Kcesing, Thomas Lindsay. William Yates Crowe and Charles Dacre wore also called, but did not appear. Sir Brett was chosen foreman. THE JUDGE'S CHARGE. His Honor delivered tho following charge: —Mr Foreman and Gentlemen of the Grand Jury,—l nm sorry that the day fixed for tho opening of tho sessions on this occasion happeus to be somewhat inconvenient, being the day prior to the departure of the English mail. Arrangements had been made so that tho sittings of tho Court should occur at a difle rent period from that lixed for tho English mail, but the change has brought with it some inconvenience this time. If you should find it inconvenient for these reasons, "X shall in future take care to have the open ing of the sessions postponed until after tho departure of the mail. On the present occasion, however, I do not think that there will be much inconvenience, for the calendar is a very light one. There are thirteen persons charged with thirteen offences, three of whidi aro charged against one person, and in another case tlireo persons aro charged with the same offence. The character of tho offences is also ex ceedingly light. Thuro aro eight persons charged with larceny of one form or another, and throe of them stand accused of simple larcenies or thefts, which need no explanation. One person is charged with breaking and entering into a store, and there aro four natives on two charges of sheep-stealing. The evidence in all these cases is of the simplest character, and thoy should not therefore occupy much time. There is one person charged with threo cases of forgery and uttering. In that case also, tho matter is so clear that I do not think it necessary to detain you with farther remarks upon it. One person is charged with ■maliciously Wounding cattle by tiring a gun loaded with shot into a steer. Yon are fiwaro that this is a very serious oft'once, and although in somo cases there are circum stances' which diminish its criminality, still that will bo a matter for the petty jury rather than for you. If you aro satis fied that tho person who fired the gun shot tho animal, you will have to send him on for trial for it, leaving any questions as to mitigation for tho petty jury. Tlicro is ona case of stabbing, but it is a vory simple case, fo that I do not think you will have any difficulty with it. Tlicro is one case of perjury against a native in which various questions may arise at tho trial. If you are satisfied, however, that the nativo did swear falsoly on eath, you will bo warranted in returning a truo bill. Tho ■ only other case is that of a person charged with attempting to defraud his creditors. That charge is founded upon a section of "The Fraudulent Debtors' Act, 1878," which provides that any person in each of these billowing cases which arc specified shall be guilty of a misdemeanour, that is to say "if ho has, with intent to defraud his creditors, concealed or removed any part of his property sinco or within two «nonbha before the date of any unsatisfied judgment or order for payment of money obtained against him." In this case thore was an unsatisfied judgment against the accused, and while it is hanging over him lie disposes of part of his property and goes away ivithalargequantityinhis possession. If you think that ho intended to defraud his creditors, then that is the essence of tho offence. These are all tho cases which will come beforo you, and ns I said beforo, they are very light, both in character and in number. The Grand Jury then withdrew.

TEUB BILLP. Agnate K.affin, charged with fraudulent bankruptcy ; John Cash, larceny ; Alfred Heyde, uttering (three indictruentj); John Fitzgerald, larceny ; Toma Parama, Bheep-stealing ;lUke Ta'nehea, Hsnorj, and Topa Topa, sheep'jtealing ; Whak&fc.ki, perjury; William Good, maliiou<ly wounding a steer j Fo'.cr Huiper, junior, unlawfully woundiug ; I'ehir r.. burglary ; Joseph Antinio, larcuny. ifis Honor dismissod the Grand Jury at 3.30. The foreman suggested to His Honor that it would bo more convenient to iCitizens if His Honor could arrange in future for the criminal sittings to commence on Wednesday instead of Monday, in order that the sittings might not interfere with mail day. Hi 3 Honor promised to consider the suggestion of tho Grand Jury. Larceny.—John Cash, on old man, was arraigned upon an indictmont charging him with fraudulently obtaining threo suits of clothes and three pairs of braces, on-tho 14th Sept., 1883, tho property of John Richard Watson, gentleman, of tho Wado. —The prisoner pleaded not guilty. — Mr Williamson, Crown Solicitor, opened the case and called evidence. —Francis Geldart, solicitor's clerk, de posed that he received the goods from a house in London for Mr Watson. He care fully packed the clothing and took it to the eteamerrJo, addressed to Mr Watson, care of Mi Phillips; Deep Creek. The clothes produced were the samo. Ho knew them by their particular make, and the buttons bearing the maker's name.— John Greenleaf master mariner, deposed to receiving the parcel from the last witness. It was to be delivered at Deep Crook. He left at 2 o'clock on the 14th. Tho parcel was then tia board. Saw prisoner in the cabin. Ho was the only passenger. He seemed very sleepy. He left the steamer at the Wade, JChe accused had a sack, gum spear, and blankets on board. Ho had something nnder hia arm like a parcel, but he did not ■otlce it particularly. He called in at Deep Oreek shortly afterwards, and asked for tho parcel, but it could not bo found. Ho was sure that no one could have taken the parcel from the steamer savo the old man ; had known Cash as a gum-digger. To prisoner: Captain Jackson was the master; ho, witness, superintended tho cargo.—John Richard Watson, gentleman, also gave evidence. This being the case, the prisoner ad dressed the jury, His Honor reviewed tho evidence. Tim jury, without leaving thp box, found the prisoner guilty. His Honor said had this been prisoner's first ottencp the Court might liavo dealt leniently in the matter, but seeing it was not his first offenpe, and that he had been convicted upon the clearest evidence, the sentence would be two years' imprisonment with hard labour. ' Forging and Uttering.— Alfred Hpyde was arraigned upon an indictment charging him with forging and uttering a cliequo or order for the payment of money with intent to defraud on 17th and 27th: Oct.—Prisoner pleaded guilty, but said ho was in difficulties at the timo, and a stranger in Auckland.— His Honor, in passing s&ntonco, noted tho deliberate and skilful way in which pri soner had perpetrated those robberies, and ■especially in his imitations of signatures. The sentenco upon him would bo thrco years' ponal servitude.

[Left sitting.]

R.M. COURT.-This Day.

(Before H. G. Seth Smith, Esq., RM.)

Edwards the Ped. In Court.

J.H. Pollock t. W,i.ua» p"™--™™ Awards wa" formerly the lessee of^public house at Wanganui, and the plaintiff al leeed that at his request he became his guarantor to Mr Drarisneld for the sum of £1U Tant repudiated the claim altogether. He do 1 fern!o au S e nHo\ Be^^ E S;S^f■^ hid Sot however, the slightest, reco'.lcc lon of tire tiansaotion in rosard to which the Pja>n«" Ked He had also done business with Mr Dransfleld! He gave up business and left Warizanui about the end of July. 1878. At that"time ho had a running account with Mr Dransneld, who was a wine and spirit mlrohant and owed him money, possibly AM but not £100. Tho debt was for hotel Sik To O>o best of his belief ho never h^rowed a cent from r.ransflela. He did not mmmm

positive that nothing was ever said about guaranteeing £101). In November Inst he uicttheplaintltV in Christchureh and lent him 110, and subsequent ly asked him for It in Wellington. He nev.-r paid tho plaintiff «10 in Wellington on account of this debt. He did not remember Riving a bill to DransHeld for £111 Us (kl vi July, IS7S-'. He did not holicve that he ever gave a bill for that amount. [At this stage Dranßtleld's receipt for £111 Us (id, paid by Pollock on Kdwurds's account, was put in evidence. 1 He never asked plaintiff to pay this amount. The blank cheque produced signed with his name was a forgery, ile never signed a blank cheque in his life. He intended to leave to-morrow by the mail steamer for Americp.— John Seymour do posed that he had been Kdwarda's agent for two years, and that he had known plaintiu" since the Christchureh racesor November last. He recollected Kdwards lending Pollock £10, and the latter sayiiiK that he would pny it in Wel lington. He hail been with Edwards nearly every day, and never heard Pollock mention that he had any claim on Edwards. He never h.-ard Dranslleld's name mentioned be tween tho plaintiff and defendant.— C. XX. Cave, solicitor (Tole and Cave) identified the signature to the receipt (already produced) as that »f Mr Drunslield, wine and spirit mer chant, and former merchant of Wellington.— This concluded the case, and counsel addressed the Court.—Mr Heskelh said that the evidence was not complete, and he would, therefore, accept a non-suit, leaving his client to take other steps before tho departure of the mr.il steamer.—His Worship accordingly nonsuited the plaintiff, with costs, £3 i:is.at tho same time remarking that the whole thine was in a very unsatisfactory state.
