FELL IN LOVE, AND FELL FROM GRACE.
(Special to the Star.") WANGANUI, November 9. Tt was explained in the Magistrate's < ourt to-day that the lapse of a voting man was due to his falling in love with a girl and that he wished to provide himself with sufficient money to treat her well. Tn admitting him to probation. Mr Barton, the Magistrate, referred to the far too frequent cases of this description. It was surprising, he said, the number of young men who. after falling in love, where the circumstances called for the very essence of honesty and chivalry in order to give the home a clean start, resorted to committing some crime in order to provide the necessary funds to marry. Sometimes even the very finery the girl wore and the property of the home, unknown to her. were the proceeds of crime. "It is better,” said the Magistrate, "to furnish the home. with benzine boxes and to make a clean start rather than besmirch and bring disgrace upon young wives in this manner."
