A genial-looking, cliubby-fnced man was solely responsible for a sitting of the Timaru -Magistrate’s Court on Monday morning (says the Post). He was a traveller from the south by train on route to Wellington and had alighted at Timaru for a little look round. He tarried over-long, and ultimately was gathered in by a guardian of the general welfare of the community on the grounds that he had overslopped the borderland of sobriety. The whilom, traveller smilingly admitted this charge to Mr E. D. Mosley, S.M. “It would have been .better if you had continued your journey,” said the Magistrate. The erring one said ho also thought so. “Well,” continued Mr Mosley, “it is going to cost you 10s, in default £M hours’ imprisonment with hard labour.”
