Apparently there are no illusions in Mr W. Mcldruni, S.M.’s mind, about the comforts of baching. He was examining a debtor in a case yesterday, and in reply to one of his questions, the man replied that he was baching. “Do you have ail your meals at the bach?” asked Mr Meldrum. *‘No, I go out on Sundays,” was the reply. “Well, you get one good meal a week, then,” commented Mr Meldrum, amidst a burst of laughter. Springtime is cleaning time, and when you renew your curtains, carpets, linoleums and other household furnishings for the home. Harley’s have just landed all the latest in these household requirements. They can also supply the renowned Hoover Vacuum Cleaner, a necessity in every home. Free demonstrations arranged.—Advt.

Mr i James asked whether he could not pay ' more. The S.M., Mr W. Meldum, remarked that a man cannot live on less than £2 a week, and made an order, by consent, for 2/6 a week, payments to be made monthly; the first on November Ist.
