On Saturday afternoon at Wellington Hon. G. Eowlds. Acting-Minister for Defence. presented two members of tint Girls’ Peace Scouts. Irene Simpson and Daisy Weaver, with gilt medals and certificates from the Chief Dominion Scouts, for promptitude and bravery in rescuing life. A peculiar case came before iho Court of Appeal recently. It was alleged that on or about October 15, 1910, at Palmerston. North. Ernest Edwin Thompson, of Shannon, attempted to unlawfully procure a certain noxious thing for an illegal purpose. In a statement of the ease the Chief Justice said that the prisoner had made a long statement which seemed to ids Honor to admit the offence. Counsel for the Crown had admitted that the contents of the bottle supplied by the ebemi-t had been analysed, and it had been ascertained that the mixture could not have effected the purpose, and so was quite innocent. His Honor directed the jury that this did not affect the guilt of accused under the indictment, and they returned a verdict of guilty. Ho reserved the question of whether accused was guilty according to law. The Court of Appeal agreed that the conviction was a proper one.
