The business of tho Masterton S,M. Court shows a very marked falling off this year, as compared with tho corresponding nino months of 1893. The figures are as follows : .1893 1894 Civil summonses issued 401 299 Polico cases ... ... 277 224 Judgment summonses... 17 15 Whether this falling off is due to general depression, and the fact that people have not the money to sue their neighbours, or are deterred by the consideration that there is little chance of even the law's machinery extracting coin of thorealmfromdefanltingdebtors; or whether the community is growing move harmonious, honest and peaceable is an open question. One thing, however, is certain and that is that our population is quite as largo this year as in 1893, if not larger.
