During a hearing of a judgment summons case in the Morrinsville Court this week, a debtor, under examination. stated h© had earned only £ 4 10s during the past tw'o years, and his wife earned sufficient to keep the family. “I am afraid,” said the magistrate, Mr. Wyvern Wilson. S.M.. to the creditor’s counsel, “that you have your money on the wrong horse. The old grey mare appears to be the better of the two.” No order was made.
