“ NOT TOO SHOOK ON THE VERDICT.”
Mary Jane O’Driscoll asked the S.M. Court at New Plymouth to grant a separation order in respect of her marriage with Jeremiah O’Driscoll. The husband protested, but his oratory was futile ; he offered to take her back, but the Magistrate decided the action against defendant, who, by the way, had conducted his own case. Defendant greeted the decision as follows :—•" In this case, Mrs O’Driscoll has got all she asked. I’ve made a pretty good fist of the case for a layman, and got nothing. Have I any right of appeal ? I’m not too shook 011 the verdict.” His Worship: “No; and be careful what you say, or you’ll be committed for contempt of Court.”
