Sullivan, of Auckland, w;ho }iad held tlie floor all morning, raised a hearty laugh just before the Court adjourned. - He quoted .an authority and said that unfortunately he had left the particular book in Auckland. "As «, matter of fact," said Mr. Sullivan, "I lent: my copy to.the learned Judge jii thq Court below to illustrate v, point of my pwn, and the teamed Judge used the book .to 'illustrate/a point of liis'which '.was' against' me, so rniMipfc lending my books to the Court any move." (Laughter.)
