NEWS IN BRIEF.
A touching tribute from the most unexpected quarter has reached Mrs C. E. Matthews, widow of the late Under-Secre-lary of Justice and Controller-General of Prisons. It is an address of sympathy signed by 54 inmates of Waikato Prison, and was sent through the chief warder. The signatories offer their sincere and heartfelt sympathy to Mrs Matthews in the death of her husband, to whom they refer as our revered chief. “We have indeed lost a true friend in every sense of the word,” the address proceeds. “He had our best interests at heart, and he did, and was doing, his best lo help his weaker fellowmen. We hope—indeed, we know —that his life work wili not be lost.”
