F., Dickson, solicitor, was again before Mr. Poynton, S.M., on a charge of contempt of ' court arising out of a comment made as to the Magistraat’s conduct of a case. Mr. Dickson still maintained that if he committed an offence the court had no jurisdiction to deal with the matter. The magistrate said he would not place a black mark on a young man’s career by fining him or imprisoning him. It would be sufficient to state that his conduct towards the court was conduct unbecoming of a gentleman and unworthy of a member of the legal profession. The censure was made solely with the object of vindicating the authority of the court. THEFT OF DRUGS. Wellington, Feb. 10.
