“ When we landed in Southampton in May it was so cold that we men had to wear two or three coats, but the English girls were running round in the flimsiest of clothes,” said Mr. J. E. Leeson, who returned last week from a holiday trip to England. “It certainly looks as if the men these days are softer than the women.” (Laughter). “ I consider that this is one of the most stupid methods with which I have ever come in contact. It is simply an effort to avoid mileage, is seldom successful and causes endless trouble to the Court officials,” remarked Mr. A. M. Mowlem, S.M., in the Magistrate’s Court recently, in referring to the system of serving debtors by registered mail (says the Napier Daily Telegraph). “Who is going to expect a Maori debtor to collect a registered letter, knowing that there are ninety-nine out of a hundred chances of it containing a summons ? ” continued the magistrate. “He might do it once, sir,” suggested Mr. Lusk amid laughter.
