The Magistrate said no doubt the parent knew the best remedy for children who played “ the wag,” and advised him to deal with him in the “ good old-fashioned way.” At the Magistrate’s Court yesterday, before Mr J. M. Poynton, S.M., Thomas Purcell was charged by the police with wilfully breaking two panes ot glass valued at £1 ss, the property of F. W. Gardes. Accused pleaded guilty. The police stated that on the night in question accused was in the Family Hotel, and became obnoxious and had to be put out. When the hotel was closed accused started kicking at the door, and then ran round the side of the building and deliberately broke two windows. Purcell asked for lenient treatment, and said he would agree to a prohibition order being taken out against him, but the police considered that an order would be of little use as accused was working in the country, and would get liquor taken out to him. The Magistrate said that where a person asked for a prohibition order to be taken out in order that the penalty to be inflicted on him should be reduced did not appeal to him. Accused would be fined £2, and ordered to pay the damage £1 ss, in default seven, days imprisonment in Palmerston gaol. One last word. Try Haslemere Tea, sold by Thomas Rimmer.

He is carefully refraining from using politics to further the cause of the Alliance, and he has apparent!}' decided that a man is not necessarily doomed because he doesn’t go to the poll with the sole idea of “striking out the top line.’’ Mr Isitt is doing good Liberal work in New Zealand, mainly because he is unusual. He is a vivid talkerin fact, absolutely the only really live talker in the House at present. The others have a vocabulary of about 50 words, and work the same idea to death. It is very unusual to be able to express ideas in Parliament or out of it. Maybe little Fred Pirani, the other political hornet, will get in—and then Leonard will have something to hit against.
