THE NG Circuit Court arrived from Rabaul on November I—Acting Chief Judge D. G. Bathgate, Crown Pros ecutor Ivan Shoobridge, and Clerk of Courts Alec. Strathearn. Two cases were dealt with.
In the first—alleged assault on a native by a European—His Honour found the accused guilty and sentenced him to three months’ imprisonment with hard labour.
The sentence was commuted on the ac cused entering into a bond of £lOO to be of good behaviour for 12 months.
The second case concerned a native “peeping-tom”. Kasupa was found guilty and sentenced to three months’ imprison ment with hard labour and two whippings.
