Nurses from Australia
In response to inquiry in Australia for nursing stall for the Whangarei Hospital, over 50 replies were received from registered nurses and untrained girls. This position was reported to the board by the matron, Miss R. Hammond, who had been authorised to seek nursing staff in Australia.
“A Necessary Evil”
Private inquiry agents seemed to be a necessary evil, said Mr. Justice Fleming, during the hearing of a defended divorce case in the Supreme Court, Christchurch. The witnesses on each side had absolutely contradicted each other, but the evidence given by the respondent and co-respondent was just a bare denial and if it had been true they should have been able to obtain corroboration. The evidence of agents was looked on with suspicion, but people were loath to call in their friends as witnesses and it seemed customary to engage an agent to get the necessary corroboration.
