A Curious Defence
[Pas Pbsbs Association.] AUCKLAND, Sept. 24. An interesting point was raised at the Magistrate's Court upon an application for the issue of a speedy Bummons under Rule 89, Abolition of Imprisonment for Debt Act, 1874. The defendant, Captain Swain, is master of the barque Alice, which is about to leave for New York. Mr Campbell appeared for defendant, and argued that Captain Swain was not leaving his dwelling in terms of Rule 8, but taking it with him, as lie lived on board his ship. Dr Giles considered this objection good, and dismissed the application.
