“I wash I could smile at my financial difficulties as tire witness does,” exclaimed Mr. T. E. Maunsell, 'S.M., in the Magistrate's Court in [Blenheim recently, as he listened to a Native witness, whose face was continually wreathed in smiles, blandly reciting a whole chapter of financial worries. “Well, I’ve had so many difficulties, your Worship, that I 'have to keep smiling,” explained the witness candidly (reports the “Marlborough Express”). “If I didn’t try and keep smiling I’d have been dead long ago!” The Magistrate: “Your sense of humour keeps you alive?” “Yes,” acknowledged the witness, blithely. “They say you don’t want to be like the raven.”
