A rabbiter from the waybacks (states the "Otago Daily Times”), when charged at tho Kurow Court with being drunk and disorderly, asked the Justices to let him off lightly, as ho had been robbed of £7O on the Kurow racecourse. The police constable interposed and stated that accused, although a complete stranger to him. had asked him on the course to take care of his money. This he had done, and the amount was duly entered on the ehnrg' sheet. Accused (excitedly): “Is that so?. Thank you, constable. Never again will I get drunk.”
