"Legally it seems I do owe the amount; morally Ido not," remarked a defendant in the Morrinsville S.M. court yesterday. " Well, I'm afraid I will have to go on the law," remarked the Magistrate. At the Westfield sale on Wednesday prices maintained recent rates for beef. Prime mutton was easier, but other classes of sheep sold at recent rates. There was no improvement in the price of lambs, and calves were dull of sale. The other day two young ladies boarded a. Wellington tramcar and were obliged to stand. One of them to steady herself, took hold of what she supposed her. friend's hand. They had stood thus for some time, when, on looking down, she discovered that she was holding a man's hand. Greatly embarrassed, she exclaimed: " Oh, I've got the wrong hand ! " Whereupon the man, with a smile, stretched forth his other hand, saying: ".Well, the other one, Miss."
