Prurient Curiosity.
1 Judge's Strong Remarks. (Per Press Association.) AUCKLAND, Aug. 18. There appears to have been some sort of expectation in the city that the Orpen case would be begun in the Supreme Court this morning, consequently a large crowd of men gathered behind the spectators' barrier to watch the case. The presence of the crowd was brought under the notice of his Honour, who observed that he had on previous occasions expressed a hope that the Legislature would give him power., to clear the Court for certain cases. He should have thought people could find something, more respectable to do than listen to these unfortunate stories. "All who are respectable," he added, "will leave the Court; those who are not respectable may remain." Nobody remained., The Hon, J. A. Tole expressed surprise that there should be so many men in the city with nothing to do. There must be a good many unemployed. His Honour : It is sometimes said that the Court is not central enough but I never heard anyone with business here complain. Mr Tole said it appeared quite central enough for the public. '•' What would it be," he asked, "if the Court |Was in Queen Street •'"
