Fitzherbert, appearing for a conscientious objector before the No. 4 Armed Forces Appeal Board at Wellington yesterday. The chairman, Mr. W. F. Stilwell, S.M.: You have been guilty of an abominable crime, too, by spilling the inkwell over your brief.
Mr. Fitzlierbert: I won’t spill blood. Mr. Fitzlierbert was continuing to use the inkwell as a paperweight when J
...i’. Stilwell sa'id to Constable Robinson: Give Mr. Fitzherbert the Bible for a paperweight or he will upset the inkwell again. Inkwells have been used as missies, 100. Mr. Fitzlierbert : Luther threw one at the devil. Mr. Stilwell: Boys have thrown them at school, too.
