There was a tinge of romance about a case which came before the Chief Justice (Sir Robert Stout) m Chambers. A young woman, aged 19 years, petitioned for the consent of the Courti to her marriage with her fiance. The petitioner was under age, and her parents objected to her proposed marriage. In asking the Court to grant the petition, Mr. Sievwright said that there was no impediment of any kind to the marriage, excepting the unreadable objections of the lady's parents. * The young man m the case was desirous of marrying the young lady. On the score that there was no^valid reason for which the Court should not override the objections of the fair' petitioner's parents, the Chief Justice made an order granting the necessary authority for the marriage Ito take place. A committee meeting of the Hawke's Bay A. and P. Society was held on the Hastings showground on Thursday, to discuss the report of the sub-committee appointed to go into the question of raising funds for the erection "of buildings and the complete equipment of tbe newly-purchased grounds at TomOana (60 acres), so that the society- will have a clear start, free of debt, on the property and improvements when the society goes into occupation. It was decided to make a canvass of the vari- • ous ridings and town districts between Wairoa and Dannevirke for subscriptions* and membership for the raising of funds necessary for the equipment of the grounds. The chairman) stated ihat he thought they would want £40.000. The grandstand* alone would cost £15.---000, and they wanted the equipment to equal the best show grounds ito the Dominion. Of the £40,000 required, there was £10.000 m hand, leaving £30,000 to be raised. j The Wellington Post's London correspondent sends the following "appreciation" of Lady Jellicoe by one who knows her Well : "As Her Excellency m New Zealand, Lady Jellicoe will be of a new type. For she is a daughter, not of a noble family, but of one which, has made *^s mark m trade. Her father, Sir larles Cayzer, was a Clyde shipowner 1 head of the Clan. Line. She had

-*. met her future husband before 902, when^ Lord Fisher added to his wany activities the role of matchraker. He knew the Cayzers and liked *ie high spirits and easy manner of the second daughter, Probably he remembered, too, that she was well dowered. He also knew and liked Captain Jellicoe, as .he then was* and he had marked him out a& the future commander of the British Navy. So he discreetly brought the two together, with the happiest results. Lady Jellicoe. who has a sunny temper and enjoys life as only people with great vitality can, should, with her young daughters, make the social side of Government House gay for the next few years."
