Hogg another Parliamentary candidate whose personal character certainly, does not stand on a higher level.

W.Brown, a certain member of the Education Board, prior to the May meeting of that body, when the said'Mr Brown asked the Board tp suspend action in dealing with the school? ■

His Worship said the case should never have been brought into Court, and it appeared to him to be the outcome of interference by busy-bodies and tattlers, In the Carterton R. M.
