I Amongst the judgment summons cases heard this morning by Mr. E. C. j Cutten in the "Magistrate's Court | was one by Thomas Lor-k, nurseryman, . | of Mangere (Mr. G. W. Basley) against Joseph Hooker, printer, of Auckland, for i-1i.".. lent by prantiff tn defendant on the security of a house called "Waikino," for which he took a bill of sale, which r jwas duly registered. Since the money s was hon owed Hooker had made no at--5 tempt to pay the money, and had 'avoided every process to compel him. Hooker alleged that the house in ques- ' ( tion was bought as a speculation between r j brick and himself, and stated that he had since disposed of the house. Lock deI nicd t his, and maintained that the money • was still owing to him. which statement i the magistrate accepted, and made an c order that Hooker pay 10' per week. and in default six weeks' imprisonment. • . The cpinion has been expressed by Mr. .IV. J. Lamer, chairman of the Claims j Board of the Auckland Patriotic Association, that a great injustice is done to men who arc discharged from the forces while still suffering from the effects of 1 neurasthenia and shell shock. The mii stances of this sort that have come before | the Board so far. said Mr. Lamer, are few in number, but we had to look for- . ward to the time when a great many men i would be returning in this condition. He suggested that the officers in charge [of the roturning«invalid soldiers had the j best opportunity of detecting symptoms lot mental or nervous ill-health, "and that th y should make a report to be handed I lo the proper authority in Xew Zealand. Tbe discharge of such soldiers might then be delayed until they had recovered sufficiently to be able 'to look after themselves.

The circular letter ! . : issued to members states that a bonevo- j ', lent fund has been established in conI nection with the society, also that I £1.000 has been placed to its credit and " ; invested in Xew Zealand Government j' i war bonds.

" j be made in the very near future. I A Poverty Bay settler who recently visited Masterton stated that; the roads | are in such a terrible condition in his ! . district, owing to the heavy and con- j j tinuous rains that have fallen, that ! f much of last season's wool has not i reached Gisborne from the back-blocks.
