"SUCH IS LIFE."
The official envelope which contained the Hon. E. Blake's award in the Midland Railway arbitration case bore, says the Wellington Post, three seals. That at one end was a figure of Justice. That at the other represented two cherubs playing see-saw, one up, t'other down, with the motto, " Such is life." A crumb of comfort which shareholders and Directors, debentureholders and taxpayers, may tak« as ironical comfort when footing that £100,000 hill of costs.
