HIS NAME IN THE PAPERS
A DEFENDANT’S OPINION A defendant in a case called in the Magistrate’s Court in Christchurch the other morning came forward and explained at considerable length to the magistrate, Mr H. A. Young, S.M., that the claim against him was an unjust one. However, since the plaintiff was not represented, the case lapsed, but the defendant said he thought he was entitled to expenses. “I’ve had to come along here today and it’s not very nice having my name in the papers,” he added. “It won’t be, as the case has lapsed,” said the magistrate. “Besides, this i s quite a respectable place.” “I knojv that,” replied the man, anxious to have the last word, “but it is a bit narking to be called here.” He did not get his expenses, as he wa 8 not in employment.
