The Public Trustee tnkes exception to sonip htiitpinciUH of "Insuninco Agent" in our issue of Saturday night. The Public Trustee- says, "to any one who tins had anything 'to do with the wind-ing-tip of estates the absurdity of 'Insurance Agent's' rcninrk that 'in the case of :i property worth £2000 the local agent now gets JUIOO for what wns formerly considered sufficiently paid by two or thron guineas to a solicitor drawing thu will,' would bo quite apparent. Tho otlieo charges, which are fixed with a \ie\v to paying working expenses only and noi to making money, can be ascertained on enquiry at tho office-. They are not 5 per cent, on £2000, as stated by 'Insurance Agent," or anything like this amount." iSeveial hours weio spent by Dr. M'Arthur, S.M.,iri investigating a ease biought by the police tln.s moining against James Kennedy, that he wms an idle and disorderly iK!r»on, in that ho habitually consorted with leputcd thieves and prostitutes.

In the coui'oo of the evidence two police constables Mvoro that they saw w cutied in Wellington on Boxing Day and in ClnisUnas week. Counsel lor the defence (Mr. Wilford) thereupon ntked the Magisiute to impound tho notebooks from which tho constables were quoting, eoun.sel intimating that clmigcs of perjury would be laid against thu two constables on account ot (he statements as to accused's whereabouts on Boxing Day and contiguous days. It would bo proved, counsel contended, that accused was away at Palmeiston races on Boxing Day, and that he was thcro for tjome time before and after those dates. His Worship impounded the notebooks as requested. When the defence was entered upon witnesses were tailed to bear out tho asAuitions of counsel. Thomas Coclett, a storeman employed in the Government Railway Department, deposed that lie came down from Palmerstou races on a train" in which accused was tuivelling. They arrived in Wellington at about lhilf-pai-t 10 o'clock on 27th December. Theio were others in the same carriage ; one whom he remembered was Mr. Dow nes, an accountant in Danks and Co.'h.
