"NOT TOO SHOOK ON THE VERDICT."
PLAIN SPOKEN IN COURT. Mary Jane O'Driscoll asked the S.M. Court at New Plymouth to grant a separation order in respect of her marriage with Jeremiah O'Driscoll. The husband protested, but his oratory was futile: he offered to take her back, but the Magistrate remarked that he merely wished to save the yearly poundage her maintenance would cost him. Then the Magistrate decided the action against: defendant, who, by the way, had conducted his own case. . Defendant greeted the decision as follows:—"In this case, Mrs. O'Driscoll has got all she asked. I've made a pretty good fist of the case for a layman, and got nothing. Have I any right of ap >; peal? I'm not too shook on the verdict. His Worship: 'No; and be careful what you .say, or you'll be conimitttd for contempt "of Court."
