“How the Money Goes."
Tun receipts for the Boucicault season of six nights at the Theatre Royal, Wellington, were slightly over £7OO. This is probably the largest sum ever taken iu the same period by any dramatic company in Navy Zealand.
1 That iiiti;t have been very gratifying to Mr | Boucionulfc. But if the Wellington folks j sfi!'ill £7OO on the theatre in six nights, some jof them, at any rate, didn’t pay their ion ichor, baker, and grocer. The proof of I this is to be found in the fact that for one '■ day next week there are 67 cases of actions for the recovery of small debts set down for hearing in the Resident Magistrate’s Court This fact is ominous and significant. A good ■ few folks in Wellington spend their money on amusements and pleasure generally, while they let the accounts justly due by them remain unpaid.
