THE WAR AND PERSONAL PLEASURES. STRICTURES BY CHIEF JUSTICE. WELLINGTON, August 14. In admitting two men named Cashman and Dempster to probation for two rears for stealing goods from the wharf, the Chief Justice said :—, Working men ought to he saving every penny, instead of which they were drinking and smoking, going to pictures, and so on. I don’t know what’s coming to this country. I see .young . men loafing about the streets, thinking of nothing but their own pleasures, going into hotels in the middle of a great war —the greatest war the world has ever seen. The time will come when we will have to undergo very great privations, and you are making no provision for them. Even bees and wasps make provision for their offspring, and you make no provision at all. You working men are no worse tfhan other people.
