The Supreme Court, took on the aspect of a boot shop on Tuesday at tornoon, says the “Christchurch Times”, during the hearing of a case in which a salesman was charged with receiving stolen hoots. The boots, £SO worth of them, were brought into the court and during the examination of witnesses, learned counsel saw lit to untie them to illustrated remarks about Cuban and Louis heels and so on. The result was that the pile of hoot boxes that had reposed more or less out ot the way on the floor of the Court gradually built up a barricade behind which the Clerk of the Court was almost completely hidden. AY hen the trial concluded with the acquittal of the prisoner the untidy pile of white boxes and footwear was still there. A Court oilicial surveyed them with a worried eye. “What’s going to happen to these hoots?” he asked querulously. No one enlightened him. but no doubt they will have found their way where they belong before the crier calls “Silence” this morning.
