NOT A BIG BUNDLE

IT is largely a sorrowful procession that passes through a police court during the course of . a year, and it would not be surprising if it had a depressing effect on the temperament of magistrates. This, however, is certainly not the case with Mr. H. W. Bundle, of Dunedin. . : Not brilliant of attainments, he nevertheless has a sound grasp of law, and seasons the administration of it with a knowledge of life as it is lived. To estranged husbands and wives he occasionally delivers a little homily that is loaded with reason, and to men who have >been fighting at the significant hour of six o'clock he offers the advice that they should get well out of the road to* have it out next time. Only once has the crimson that betrays the presence of anger been lmoAvn to creep up into his cheek, and that waS when a loquacious prisoner abused the latitude allowed him m addressing the Court. . "The next time you come here," 'said Mr. Bundle, "it will be better for yourself if you are muzzled." When . opportunity affords, Mr. Bundle goes to the races, but he has never been known to make, a big bundle. - ■ >. •
