“What a shocking w’aste of money.” Thus counsel (a notorious tobaccohater) during the hearing of a case at Brisbane not long since, when he elicited from defendant that the latter consumed half-a-pound of tobacco every week. “That's a matter of opinion.” sharply replied defendant. “I reckon I get better value for my money than if. for instance.
