II t is reported from South Africa that Air G. H. Bennett, the manager of the | Springbok team that visited New j land in 1922. was killed in a motor-car ! accident at Kimberley. | A correspondent ivrites: “ During ! the progress of the recent Law Society j cricket match the Crown Solicitor astonished all beholders by getting a ■ • hat trick.' Tn accordance with cusj tom the other members of the team subscribed towards the purchase of a memento of the occasion. This has now been chosen and has been presented to the cricket section of the society by Mr A. T. Donnelly as a mascot. The memento takes the form of a .shield of chaste design made from heart of pinus insignia, bearing the motto ' Quod habetis habebimus.’ The motto which is translated ' What you have we will hold.' is singularly appropriate for a lawyer’s team, but was. we think, selected by a layman. The shield was designed and made at the studio of Mr S. M’Cully, the well-known timber merchant, and will be shown in public for the first time at the annual match Lawyers v. Accountants on Tuesdaynext at Hagley Park.” Recently a deputation from the New Zealand Returned Soldiers' Association v aited on the Prime Minster and the Mnist-er of Lands, in Wellington, with a request that the Government should supply soldier settlers with free fees fra the purpose of belts. A letter has now been received, bv the secretary of +he Christchurch Returned .Soldiers’ Association from the Minister of Lands, stating that arrangements have been made with the Forestry Department for the supply of a limited number of trees for soldier settlers and that applications should be forwarded to tlie Commissioner of Crown Lands. The Minister states that officers of the Lands Department have received instructions to see that no waste occurs aiul that the planting is done under ; such conditions as will ensure the j success of the trees. | The cable news In this issue accredited ito “ The Times " ha.s appeared in that | journal, hut only where expressly stated i« MJ-'h news the editorial opinion of "The
