At the quarterly meeting of the Palmerston Licensing Committee, held to-day, the application for the •permanent transfer of the license of the Royal Hotel, Bunnythorpe, from M. Eberhard to Geo. T. Witt, was granted. Mr Carty acted for both parties. Some strong remarks against the plaintiff in the Wellington defamatory libel action. W. J. Pollock (a Civil servant )v. Arthur Beeson (a cycle engineer) wer* made by Mr Justice Cooper on Saturday. In sum. ming up, his Honour said it was quite oiear that unless the charges made by prisoner in his letters to Heyes were justified, defamatory libel had been committed. The real point for the jury was: Had prisoner substantiated his charges, and were the statements he made in the interest* of the public? They had nothing to do with motives. A man might, with the most evil motives in his mind, do something that was in the interests of the public. Neither had they anything to do with the religious affairs of prisoner. They had to consider whether regard should not be paid to the moral character of persons employed in a Government de- :■ partment, especially where girls were working. There was no doubt from the evidence that Pollock had led a most immoral life. In fact, from the tetters he wrote, it was dear then that ho was a perfect satyr. Ihe jury found Beeson guilty, and sentence was deferred, pending the settlement of some law points in the Court of Appeal. Beeson first made his charges against Pollock from the pulpit m a Wesleyan Church in Wellington and then wrote to the head of Pollock's department. " Where are the girls P" sigh proud housewives who have been reduced to doing their own domestic service. Anyone who cares to stroll along -Xambton quay and Willis street, Wellington, betwen 7.45 and 9 in. the , moaning will notice that there is no 1 dearth of girls, saya the Poet. The cars are fulFof her. and the footpaths are crowded with her. She v healthy, ahe is well dreseed, she is smiling. The spectacle is exhilarating for everybody, except the much-dis-tressed lady who is obliged to wash up the dishes herself. All this girl is making for offices, shops, and factories. "To my mind the girls are better off in service than in factories," remarked Mr W. H. Westbrooke, secretary to the Domestic Workers' Union. "However, the girls consider that they do not get sufficient tune to themselves at service. The migration of the girls into the factories has been gomg on for a long time," SOTALIB TOOTH POWDER imparts a delightfully fresh and beneficial feeling to the mouth. 1» a tin, from J. S.
