An assertion that the magistrate, Mr. W. F. Stillwell was “the King in the Court” was made by a defendant in the Magistrate’s Court, Wellington, recently, during the hearing of a case in which the possession of an overcoat was in dispute. “Now you and I are not going to argue over this,” the magistrate told defendant. “No,” he replied, “I am not going to argue with you either; you are the King in this Court.” The Magistrate: “Well, I am not prepared to discuss that with you, either.”
