A graceful tribute to the qualifications possessed by Mr. Cecil Gostelow, head officer of the Government Actuary’s Department, who was giving evidence for the Crown in certain ' charges of false pretences, was paid by the counsel for the defence (Mr. C. J. L. White) in the Supreme Court nt Invercargill the other day. “The scheme may or may not be a fraud,” retorted Mr. White, following an interruption by the Crown Prosecutor (Mr. H. J. Macalister). “I am sure I cannot tell you, for I certainly don’t possess a calculating machine in my head like the Government Actuary does.”
