An old Chinese eating-house is being shipped Com Pekin to Hollywood for a new film. The ex-proprietor says he has never known a joint go so far..
A witness who failed to appear in the Supreme Court at Auckland on two successive days, although subpoenaed. to do so, and 'warned of the consequences of disobedience, narrowly escaped arrest for contempt of court. He escaped because the lawyer issuing the subpoena had failed to guarantee him “conduct money,” that is, his travelling expenses to and from the court. "If you had given him conduct money,” said Mr Justice Reed, who presided, “I would have had no hesitation in having him arrested and brought before me for contempt of court, but without conduct money, according to the authorities, I can do nothing.” Counsel agreed that that was; so, and said he would have to go to judgment on the facts as they stood, without the evidence of this witness.
