All sorts of reasons actuate defendants in Law Courts to plead not guilty to the offences with which they are charged, but seldom do they explain their motives so frankly as did one man who was the defendant in a by-law case in the Magistrate’s Court at Wellington. Asked by Mr. T. E. Maunsell, S.M., why he was pleading not guilty, the defendant replied that he thought that if he put up some sort of an argument he would get off with a lighter fine. Laughingly, Mr. Maunsell said, “You take > my advice and you’ll find the cheapest' course is to plead guilty.” The defendant accepted the suggestion, and the magistrate remarked, “Well, in that case I won’t impose the maximum penalty.”
