In inflicting penalties for neglecting to indenture apprentices, the President of the Arbitration Court, sitting at Invercargill, said the Court was tired of that form of breach of the aot, which threw an inordinate amount of work on officials. They would have to bring employers to a sense of their duty by heavier penalties. It was stated that in some cases youths declined to be hound because with a fair knowledge of the trade they could get better wages under permits than as apprentices. The wills of the late Bendix Hallenstoin, of Dunedin, and Michaelis Hallenstoin, of London, were recently lodged for probate in Melbourne. Tk© former’s estate in Victoria was valued at £30,000. The widow receives £IOOO for her immediate use, a daughter receives freehold land in Dunedin, and annuities are to be paid to other relatives, while several New Zealand charities receive legacies. The estate of Mr Michaelis Hallenstein was valued at £38,165.
