SHIKKURED SHAM.

All sorts and conditions of people go grass seeding, including our brown brother from India, who has started a small industry of slaughtering Engliishmen m his native place. Sham- Singh came into Christchurch from Little River the other day with' a cheque for ■; £9 odd m his possession, and started celebrating the unrest m Britain's tropicial dependency with such effectiveness that he was discovered asleep m a doorway late at night by a passing peeler.. Sham declared that he wasn't sosselled, and that the copper's attention was directed to the dark person by a cabman who wanted the job of taking him to the loclf-up. This explanation was rejected by the bench, and five bob and costs was the penalty. As Sham had £8 13s lid al-out his clothes, and as snielers were m the town for that ghastly failure, the C.J.C. midsummer meeting, Sham should have tipped the bobby a quid out of pure gratitude. ;
