This, was, an application for an injunction restraining the* defendant, who is the nusband of the plaintiff, from coming ,to her house. Defendant was convicted 1 at Timaru of forgery, and sentenced to two years, which, is nearly completed. The plaintiff is a- boarding-house keeper hefe, and owns tho property. " She stated her boarders would leave if her husband returned. His Honor said the defendant was an elderly man of good character, except as regarded the frauds he had committed on 'his employers, and there was nothing at all to show that the defendant would molest his wife. In reality an injunction meant that the Courb was called upon to pronounce! a judicial separation. If defendant had nought onthe premises -he would be treated as a trespasser. If he went there in assertion of his right-as a husbarid, the law could not interfere, and the extraordinary, remedy 'of an injunction could not be involved. An injunction was refused. . '

Father Harrington was responding to the toast of his health, when he jremarked that he had received nothing but kindness since be came to the district and only one thing had been said to him. at which he could take the least exception. This was said to him when he was in the lunatic asylum — as a visitor, of course. He observed a man standing alone and inquired his name, and was somewhat surprised to learn that it was Harrington. Of course, he felt an interest in the man at once, and going to him asked him where he came from He replied in a rich brogue, " County Cork." « Well," remarked the rev. gentleman, " I was all the mere interested at this announce ment, us that chances to be the county I came from myself, and lat once communicated the * f act that my name was Harrington and I also came from ' County Cork.' " The man slowly surveyed Him from head to foot for the space ot about a minute and then said, with an evident tone of pity, "Grant goodness, how many lunatics come here from County Cork." '
