The New Zealand Naval Officers’ Association lias been interesting itself in the matter. On March 31 the president of the association, Eng.-Commander Eamshaw, addressed a letter to Commodore Hothnm, inquiring when payment might be expected. Commodore Hothnm replied the following day, stating that a cablegram had been dispatched to the Admiralty that day asking for information as to the position, and on April 15 the Naval Secretary advised the association that an Admiralty telegram had been received replying that all claims received from New Zealand for prize money had been dealt with, and that the latest authority for payment was being sent to the Navy Office. As soon as these authorities are received payment will he made to all concerned.

Mb J. W. Poynton, S.M., Had a rather interesting case before him at Auckland last week, in which a landlord sought possession of a five-roomed cottage in Turner Street, occupied by an old lady. Plaintiff' owned the adjoining premises, a hoarding-house with 20 rooms. He purchased the cottage occupied by the defendant, and gave her notice to quit. The old lady, who is 65 years old, and in receipt of the old-age pension of 15s per week,-stated she had rented the cottage for 20 years. Her rent was 18s per week. She let rooms to three old men, each over 60 years of age. She had been a widow for over 28 years. The rent she got for the three rooms was 15s, 10s, and is per week. “You want to make a living out of this house,” said counsel, to •which the ohl lady frankly replied, "Cf course 1 do, and he bought this house so as to let the rooms in it to extend his own business.” Mr Poynton said it would be a hardship to turn out the tenant, as she could not rent another room and live on her pension of 15s per week. It was true she was making a few shillings per week by letting rooms, but it could not be held to be any hardship for the applicant, who bad 20 rooms in the other house lie owned. The order was therefore refused.— “Star.”
