A DEPLORABLE CASE.
JUDGE CHAPMAN'S CASTIGATION. Auckland, Feb. 5. In the Supreme Court a. man accused of robbery with violence had to submit to a severe castigation from Mr. Justice Chapman. His Honor said it was most deplorable that a man who had distinguished himself at the front, getting the M.C., should have behaved as accused had. Accused received £2OO deferred I>ay, and £lO7 gratuity, and in six months the whole of it was gone in riotous living. Three licensed houses were mentioned as the principal places where his money was spent. "I intend," said the Judge, "to forward this evidence to the Minister for Justice, whose business it will be to say what shall be done to a man who has distinguished himself and ha?| now disgraced himself in a manner that would disgrace the very swine themselves."
