HUMOUR IN COURT
FALSE PRETENCES CHARGE CROSS-TALK IN BOX "I bailed him up at Stratford," said a witness in the Supreme Court at New Plymouth this week, when giving evidence against a man charged with false pretences. Accused, who cross-examined on his own behalf, asked what was meant by "bailed up.' 1 He did not try to run away like a cow, he said. What was meant was that he was 1 spoken to in the strest. "You get a cow where you want it, and I got you where I wanted you," replied the witness.
