lUITH some people, recognition of the proprieties is a mere bagatelle. Two litigants before Mr. Justice Ostler in the Supreme Court at Palmerston North last week electrified those at the Press table.

Another man, a farmer well on in years, was seeking ta establish his plea for -restitution of conjugal rights.
