Asked at the police court to explain how he came to give the complainant a black-eye and damaged nose, defendant replied: “It was this way, yer wash-up. This ’ere bloke 'e ast me fer a match. Mindger, I didn't kow ’im from a bar er soap. Then ’e tried to ram it down my neck that there was no nicotine, or ‘ardly any, in Noo Zealan’ terbacker. Well, one word led to another, an’ I gave ’im what for. Mindger ’e fair ast fer it." “You had no right to assault the man because you differed in opinion,” frowned the bench, “besides, he was absolutely right. New Zealand tobacco is practicaly free from nicotine, because it’s toasted, and the toasting makes it quite harmless. Sase dismissed. But don’t come here again.” His worship knew all about it! Toasted tobacco is quite harmless. It has a captivating flavour and a delicious aroma, too. There are only four brands manufactured: Riverhead Gold, Navy Cut No. 3, Cavendish and Cut Plug No. 10.—Advt.
