“If that isn’t the test of love, I don’t know what is;” said Mr Slipper at the Wanganui Supreme Court when Ivy M urant, who pleaded guilty to theft of jewellery at Taihape, came up for sentence.

A very strange incident took place at Paeroa last week. Mr Mark Anderson ,employed by the Public Works Department, and residing in one of the Government lints near the bank of the Wnilinti rivet - , acquired the methodical habit of substituting a newspaper for a table doth, and as emu paper gdt soiled.he Jiiaeed another On top, repealing the process until such time as the substitutes got too bulky. He then replaced them by others. During his last general clean-up the soiled paper was rolled up in a bundle and east into the river. Anderson suddenly recollected that amongst the discarded newspapers were seven i'o notes, and also liis post office' bankbook. He searched the river hank for a distance' of about three miles, and eventually gave up all hope ot finding the money. On tlm following evening Mr IV. Mons, employed by the public Works Department, saw what appeared to be* a .note-book aild six pieces of paper floating ill the water on tliei other side of tile river. These lie seclired, ami they proved to be the post office biiilk-book and. six to notes. With the result tlia Mr Anderson is once more in possession of all bis £5 notes with the exception of one.
