In addition to the usual weekly sittings at Rarotonga, the Court also sat at Aitutaki, Rakahanga, and Pukapuka. During the year eight prisoners, who had been guilty of grievous offences, were sentenced to terms of imprisonment to be served on an outside island. Six of these prisoners have been sent to the Island of Manuae to serve their sentences there, in accordance with the provisions of the Offenders Punishment Act, 1899. The card system of recording the convictions of offenders has been instituted in Rarotonga since Ist April, 1910, and has been found of great assistance in dealing with offenders should they again appear before the Court. With but little exception the punishments inflicted by the Court have been duly carried out by the police, and of the fines imposed but a small amount remains as yet uncollected.
