A case for nullification of marriage came before the Christchurch Supreme Court from Ashburton, the wife being the applicant. The ground of notion was that she was a half-blood neiee of her husband. The defence claimed a literal reading of the table of prohibitions, which mentions neices, not halfneiees. Judge Cooper ruled that the law of Ecclessiastical Courts applied, and this prohibited marriages of halfblood relations in that degree. A decree nisi was granted. A peculiarity of the case was that both parties desired the application to fail, but wished to test the legality of the marriage.

The census has caused great trouble in Wanganui. The Herald pleads for a “greater Wanganui,’’ on the ground of lost prestige, and agitates for the borough area to be enlarged so that Wanganui may corae to be regarded as fifth, and not the ninth town in the colnnv, “ Strangers coming to New Zealand, and colonists who may think of settling in some other part, are very i often influenced and guided in the choiee of their future homo by the population of the town (says the Herald) and it is not difficult to conceive that Wanganui has lost many an enterprising business man owing to the false position in which we are placed,”

In a leading article dealing with the matter of sport professionalism, the Manawatu Standard says i While thoroughly in accord with the Manawatu Union in its desire to stamp out professionalism or aaything that approaches it in football circles, we are inclined to think that they have acted arbilrarilv in connection with the desire if the Foxton sub-union to present a trophy to its secretary (Mr Sutherland) in recognition of his work on its behalf. If it can be held —and we do not thin'i l ; It can —that the presentation of thj) 'trophy constitutes professionalism, then, as the Foxton Sub-Union suggests, where does Mr Dixon, late manager of the “All Black” team, and the New Zealand Union come in with their bonus to him of £100? This sum was voted on identical grounds to that forming the basis of the bonus to Mr Sutherland. In what -position also are officials of other amateur bodies who have received bonuses and trophies in acknowledgement of good and faithful service ? The whole matter no doub 1 hinges on what constitutes " professionalism,” but we will be vastly surprised if it can be construed in the manner indicated by the Manawatu Union. If the ruling authorities uphold the view of the local Union then there will require to be a very general “ white-washing ” in amateur circles.
