It was only a year or 'pm>. ago that General! Homer Lea, . another distinguished American, feave expression to similar opin- ions m a book significantly named "The Vaior of Xgnoicance." When "Walt Whitman felt called Tiponto denounce : the' presumption 1 of American, politicians, andj Homer Lea to expose the ignorant pbt- vaKpncy of American den*Qcrac^ c stniay ; reasbnaiSy bo presJcuieif . t|ia4? t&ey "were- dealing with real- ities and not- with fantasies— with palpable fads and n6t' , with fig- yrw>ntß of the. imasdxxstion. , In very^ troth, tteaj^ fWb emi^-- cntty sane and patriotic Ameri- cans were declaring the result of n careful and expert diagnosis', of "tbe diseases from "which Demo- cracy is .suffering, not only *m America, bat ill over-the civilised Vorlfl, anicl mox*3 particularly, m [Anglo-Saxon or J3ngli&h-speaking communities^ It has been said «nd reiterated 'Sid ;! nausean;^ during' recent years that Parl|a> xncntary Governmenl( is played' ont ; ttiat Parliaments are declin- ing and verging towards their final falL Parliamentiuy institu- tions please neither democrat nor autocrat, aristocrat nor plutocrat.'

So it is that Socialism grows apace and goes ahead, -while Trades Unionism declines m democratic esteem, and English- men all over the world want to. know why Parliaments are per- mitted to plague and * plunder them. Nowhere else m the world , *wttere they have been tried arc parliamentary institutions so dis- credited as thcy'Jiavo become m 'Australia. It is 'no exaggeration to say that the most discreditable| calling m this Commonwealth is | t^at of tho Professional Politi- 1 cianu Of late years the average " politician has come to be regarded as being potentially and pros- pectivdy conscienceless, coward- Jy, and corrupt It fa almost su- perfluous to say that he is usually epoken of*with contempt, and re- garded with disdaiu. A good many people look upon politicians jnretty much a/> they would upon pirates or pickpockets; while some of them arc notorious as de- lirious, drunkards and awfuiriug wripors, who have turned Parlia- -1 ments into potbotißoa and pig- /Into such political pandemonia, into such blackguardly babels, few men of character and capa- city have the courage to enter. If they show any inclination to risk their- health and happiness, their social status and personal pres tige, by entering Parliament, the tearful entreaties and earnest ex- postulations of their wives and families and friends restrain them, and constrain them to re- main, and so, to paraphrase the words of Gray's grand Efegy, F&trtraui the madding ckwkTb ignoble strife, ,■■" Their sober wishes never learn to .;/;. ;■ - ptray \ , ■ !

The result ,of this reticence and reclusion of the best elements of " the community has been to leave public affairs the play- things of poltroons and pochard**, blackguards and boodlers, ras- cals and robbers. Some of the worst elements of society to-day m Australia are. to" be found m her Parliaments. The ignorance of some of the more notorious of the so-called representatives o f the people is.-< only 'excelled by their insolence. $ome of them can neither read nor write nor speak plain English coherently, not to say grammatically; they cannot decipher the -text, nor comprehend the scope of any mea sure which they pretend to dis- cuss, and upon which they vote— and as for grasping the meaning and consequences of a notified or impromptu amendment of a Bill under discussion,' that is quite le- yond many of them—they neitter knpw nor care. v* « " They vote as the Lab or Lib Caucus directs them ; and while away the Parliamentary Session at billiards, cards, or dominoes, until the Party whip calls them and rounds them up, like so many ftheep. to vote away millions of the taxpayers', money on schemes of public works, the merits dr.de-.' merits of which they know noth- ing valid or worth knowing. All (they know about such momentous measures are such sinister sug- gestions as some bribed Parlia- mentary pimp for boodl<> has op- portunely whispered into their | evcr-opon lugs, while greasing' their itching palms with golden ! ointment. Over and over again millions of the taxpayers' money have been voted away with only a bare quorum of members pra 3ent, and sometimes without a quorum— some of the members actually present being stretched out fast asleep along the back benches, snoring like so many snoozing Silemuws. " " 9 Whose tlio fault? Theirs, no- body's, everybody's ! In thus country, trioru than ih any other, Jack's as good us his master, nud often much better. Why! Be- cause here the working man is uot only m an overwhelming major- ity, with the bulk ot a big wo- men'b vote enthusiastically on his side, but he is ul««rt and zealous m his own social, political, and in- dustrial interufits. it is neither platitude nor flattery to say that the ordinary Australian working :oau i« superior m political mid economic knowledge to tho Ordi- nary working man of any other- country, i.tc know* that Austra- lia k tho working man V Para- dise; and, having it, he wishes to preserve it for himself and his, sharing with as few others as pos- sible. It is this determination to preserve intact his rich industrial heritage that explains much that seems so selfish and unsocial mj Australian Trades-Unionism and Political Laborism. "« * # ■ .;. ■' But then; is another side to the picture. Nowhere m the world, m proportion to population and profits made on comparatively small capital, are there so many plutish, parvenu, mushroom-mas- ters, credit-capitalists, proverbial beggars on horseback, who would ride themselves, their employees, and. the country to hell if permit- ted. These would, if they could; or dared, treat the workers like so many indentured Kanakas or plantation slaves. Their arro- gance and aggressiveness have aroused the bitterest animosity against them among the workers. They are supported and encour- aged by a presumptuous, pluto- cratic press m all the chief cities of the Commonwealth. Their ex- ponents m the Parliament of New South Wales form the miserable jnob of reckless rowdies whom Mr. Wades has the misfortune of alterjoately trying to lead and to restrain. la courage and capa- city: the rank, and file, of thesd Ysst ■■**: .lateral* lamkra* are ' a^ long way beldw the low level of capacity and courage of the L&bdi* Party-— about the poorest compliment that could possibly be paid them, but which, neverthe- less, goes to prove what a pauper- ous push of political poodledood- lers they really are I But it is not among the ''Liber- als" that the *' ever-increasing audacity of elected persons' 1 an- nounces itself most conspicuous- ly. It is m the Labor Party — or the Ministry representing that Party m Parliament — that the '* insolence of ignorance" is made most manifest. It can, m all truth and candour, be said that the present Labor Ministry, un- der the Premiership of Mr. Hol- inan, even more so than when un- der that -of Mr. McGowen, no more represents the Political Labor Leagues and the great body of wage-earning workers of New South Wales than do Mr. Wade and his plutish press- prompted push of place and pay- hunting hoodlums. Labor's caii.se is sound and safe: but its Parlia- mentary control is m the bonds of a clique of men, the proper place for some of whom, had tKey theli deserts, would-be a prison instead of a Parliament.

A "Domlnon" reporter made a good deal of "copy" m that paper out of be- ing mistaken for a "scab" by tho crowd which waited outside the Queen's wharf tolls ofllco on Thurs- day week. As a matter of fact tho men know a reporter did scab.

    FURTHER CONSIDERATIONS CONCERNING

    ,Jba, this caption does the greatjAinericaa prose^poet, Walt Whiteloan, express his indignation and-disgust at the presumption ofjoliticians. Itwas only a year or'pm>. ago that General!Homer Lea,

    .another distinguished American,feave expression to similar opin-ionsmabook significantly named"The Vaior of Xgnoicance." When"Walt Whitman felt called Tipontodenounce: the' presumption1 ofAmerican, politicians, andjHomerLea to expose the ignorant pbt-vaKpncy of American den*Qcrac ĉstniay;reasbnaiSy bo presJcuieif.t|ia4? t&ey "were-dealing with real-ities and not-with fantasies— withpalpable fads and n6t',with fig-yrw>ntß of the.imasdxxstion.

    ,In very^ troth, tteaj^ fWb emi^--cntty sane and patriotic Ameri-cans were declaring the result ofn careful and expert diagnosis',of"tbe diseases from "which Demo-cracy is .suffering, not only *mAmerica,bat illover-the civilisedVorlfl, anicl mox*3 particularly, m[Anglo-Saxon or J3ngli&h-speakingcommunities^ It has been said«nd reiterated 'Sid ;! nausean;^during' recent years that Parl|a>xncntary Governmenl( is played'ont;ttiat Parliaments are declin-ing and verging towards theirfinal falL Parliamentiuy institu-tions please neither democrat norautocrat, aristocrat nor plutocrat.'Those for whom Parliamentswere expected to dd most are;satisfied the least. ;

    Sht wage-eanrmg workers,whobeen politically trained or

    iwntimentally constrained to re-gard Parliament as a divine mBtitatiom, providentially conceiv-(td and cwiferred upon a weary,"waiting world as providing away out of all political, social,nndindustrial difficulties,are nowthe most disgusted of the fourejassea whohave come to see thatGovcnmmnt *'by the people fortho t>eople" is a failure and aIrana. Democrats have come to

    ■«cc that mere talk, palaver, andlatitude, and the coinicali|rlrocess*£ coming to a decision ou large|wblw problems by simply count-ing noses m Committee or Cau-"jns, won't Jbring social salvation^

    „ K>r turn this worldinto a political'I paradiao. So it is that Socialism

    grows apace and goes ahead,-while Trades Unionism declinesmdemocratic esteem, and English-men all over the world want to.know why Parliaments are per-mitted to plague and *plunderthem.

    Nowhere else m the world,*wttere they have been tried arcparliamentary institutions so dis-credited as thcy'Jiavo become m'Australia. It is 'no exaggerationto say that the most discreditable|calling m this Commonwealth is|t^at of tho Professional Politi-1cianu Of late years the average" politician has come tobe regardedas being potentially and pros-pectivdy conscienceless, coward-Jy, and corrupt It fa almost su-perfluous to say thathe is usuallyepoken of*with contempt, and re-garded with disdaiu. A goodmany people look upon politiciansjnretty much a/> they would uponpirates or pickpockets; whilesome of them arc notorious as de-lirious, drunkards and awfuiriugwripors, who have turned Parlia-

    -1 ments into potbotißoa and pig-

    /Into such political pandemonia,into such blackguardly babels,few men of character and capa-city have the courage to enter. Ifthey show any inclination to risktheir- health and happiness, theirsocial status and personal prestige, by entering Parliament, thetearful entreaties and earnest ex-postulations of their wives andfamilies and friends restrainthem, and constrain them to re-main, and so, to paraphrase thewords of Gray's grandEfegy,F&trtraui the madding ckwkTb ignoble

    of "the community has been toleave public affairs the play-things of poltroons and pochard**,blackguards and boodlers, ras-cals and robbers. Some of theworst elements of society to-daym Australia are. to" be found mher Parliaments. The ignoranceof some of the more notorious ofthe so-called representatives ofthe people is.-< only 'excelled bytheir insolence. $ome of themcan neither read nor write norspeak plain English coherently,not to say grammatically; theycannot decipher the -text, norcomprehend thescope of anymeasure which they pretend to dis-cuss, and upon which they vote—and as for grasping the meaningand consequences of a notified orimpromptu amendment of a Billunder discussion,' that is quite le-yondmanyof them—they neitterknpw nor care.v* « "

    They vote as the Lab or LibCaucus directs them;and whileaway the Parliamentary Sessionat billiards, cards, or dominoes,until the Party whip calls themand rounds them up,like so manyftheep. to vote away millions ofthe taxpayers', money on schemesof public works, the merits dr.de-.'merits of which they know noth-ing valid or worth knowing. All(they know about such momentousmeasures are such sinister sug-gestions as some bribed Parlia-mentarypimp for boodl has op-portunely whispered into their|evcr-opon lugs, while greasing'their itching palms with golden!ointment. Over and over againmillions of the taxpayers'moneyhave been voted away with onlya bare quorum of members pra3ent, and sometimes without aquorum— some of the membersactually present being stretchedout fast asleep along the backbenches, snoring like so manysnoozing Silemuws."

    Whose tlio fault? Theirs, no-body's, everybody's! In thuscountry, trioru than ih any other,Jack's as good us his master, nudoften much better. Why! Be-cause here the working man isuotonly m an overwhelming major-ity, with the bulk ot a big wo-men'b vote enthusiastically on hisside, but he is ul««rt and zealousmhis own social, political, and in-dustrial interufits. it is neitherplatitude nor flattery to say thatthe ordinary Australian working:oau i« superior m political mideconomic knowledge to tho Ordi-nary working man of any other-country, i.tc know* that Austra-lia k tho working manVPara-dise; and, having it,he wishes to

    preserve it for himself and his,sharing with as few others as pos-sible. It is this determination topreserve intact his rich industrialheritage that explains much thatseems so selfish and unsocial m jAustralian Trades-Unionism andPolitical Laborism.

    "« * # ■ .;. ■'But then; is another side to the

    picture. Nowhere m the world,m proportion to population andprofits made on comparativelysmall capital, are there so manyplutish, parvenu, mushroom-mas-ters, credit-capitalists, proverbialbeggars on horseback, who wouldride themselves, their employees,and.the country to hell ifpermit-ted. These would, if they could;or dared, treat the workers likeso many indentured Kanakas orplantation slaves. Their arro-gance and aggressiveness havearoused the bitterest animosityagainst them among the workers.They are supported and encour-aged by a presumptuous, pluto-cratic pressm all the chief citiesof the Commonwealth. Their ex-ponentsm the Parliament of NewSouth Wales form the miserablejnob of reckless rowdies whomMr. Wades has the misfortune ofalterjoately trying to lead and torestrain. la courage and capa-city: the rank, and file,of thesdYsst■■**:.lateral* lamkra* are 'a^long way beldw the low level ofcapacity and courage of theL&bdi* Party-— about the poorestcompliment that could possibly bepaid them, but which, neverthe-less, goes toprove what a pauper-ous push of political poodledood-lers they really areI

    But it is not among the ''Liber-als" that the *'ever-increasingaudacity of elected persons'1 an-nounces itself most conspicuous-ly. It is m the Labor Party— orthe Ministry representing thatParty m Parliament— that the'*insolence of ignorance" is mademost manifest. It can, m alltruth and candour, be said thatthe present Labor Ministry, un-der the Premiership of Mr. Hol-inan, even more so than when un-der that -of Mr. McGowen, nomore represents the PoliticalLabor Leagues and the greatbody of wage-earning workers ofNew South Wales than do Mr.Wade and his plutish press-prompted push of place and pay-hunting hoodlums. Labor's caii.seis sound and safe: but its Parlia-mentary control is m the bondsof a clique of men, the properplace for some of whom,had tKeytheli deserts, would-be a prisoninstead of a Parliament.

    bodies and sides, though quite whole-some as food, they arenot the kind ofstuff on which to build upa first-classretail business. It is a pity so muchof it is forcedupon our.small butchers,for the working butcher m the citieshas been,nearly wiped out by thisbranch of competition from the weal-thy freezing companies. After all,there is not much to complain of, forwe have all builded on the competi-live system of - dear old England.Where there is not co-operation, we.get capitalism, and capitalism breedsprofits m a thousand directions. Thesquatter's lands become fabulouslydear m value, and the, stockholder msuch companies as these gets a divi-dend like unto the fat of rams.

    This company has a paid,up capitalof £ie 5,766, and with the greatestpos-sible ease it has paid its shareholders8 ger cent, on their investments. Ithas written off for depreciation thelarge sum of £0274 for the year,whileit has added to the reserve fund a totalof £6806. Now it is quite clear thatthe people who own this"concern areso anxious to build up reserves - thatthey are not worrying about immedi-ate dividends. "A few more yearsmajpass" when they can look for accumu-lations large enough to put tlieni enthe softest velvet. In' the meantimethey might, without m any way.hurt-'ing themselves,

    START A "BONUS FUND"for their workers as a practical me-thod of preventing strikes. Theslaughtermen are a much finer bodyof human beings than, the pale ha-w---haw bank clerk who caters for thesquatter. "Cambist" thinks this Ls avaluable suggestion, but he asks nopaymentfrom Sir W C. Buchanan forthe valuednotion. Tho "bonus" mightalso be handed over to the- small iar-mer, who sold to the company's buyerat a profitable rate. The company-has,a list of respectable creditors, first theBank of New.Zealand £52,233, deposi-,tors £22,835, and sundry creditors£24,275, drafts against shipments andHome agents' balances £178,812, all ofwhich, account for the interest, dis-count and exchange deb.it of .£4840.On the face of things their finance isrun on remarkably cheap lines and itwould.be hard for the company to failm making the large profits they ;^can-not smother up. fTheir gross profitsare nearly 30 per cent, for the year.Yet people say manufacturing does notpay "owing to tho cost of labor."Newspapers put; the lie- m currency,though such facts as these prove themto be Ananias every one.' "Truth."'however, does its best to placoj thefacts before the worker,- and ftheaves no brick at either the Workeror the capitalists who are building up.local manufactures. "■"..-..

    The Gross Debt of New ZealandThat is rather a good way of putting

    a financial fact; for indeed the debt of.,this country has become '-'gross." AtMarch 31last the sum of money whichthe workers of New Zealand have topay interest upon amounted to>£30,060,763. Since that date theH0n.,1.Allen has increased it by £3,000,000,but let the workers (those being thepeople who really provide the inter-est) not forget that Sir Joseph Ward,Bart., also the late R. J. Seddon, a.roresponsible for £50,000,000 of ihytotal. The only people who derivulany benefit from the plunging policythese figures disclose, were the land-owners and the commercial swindler*who rig the butter, meat, and piuducomarkets against the consumers. Thesoclasses are bound to be successfulwhen they -practically have the use ofour £93,000,000 borrowed money prac-tically free of interest, and the fur-ther aid given to them by a bank com-bine which handles £24,000,000 o! de-posits. These facts should noi be lostsight of at any time, especially at thepresent moment, whilo the MassoyGovernment and all the employing:classes are leagued against the com-mon population of this country. Letthere be no shuffling about this m?.l^-ter. The flnance of Ward, and thefinance of Allen, Massey and Co., areone and the same.

  • THE CARTOON CASE.No Contempt of Court

    Committed*

    Seldom bus such an lntenso inter-eat boon ovinccd m tho proceedingsbefore any judicial tribunal m NowZealand its wan the enso when thoFull Court heard an application mwhat is now known as tho Cartooncose, to bavo the publisher and car*toonlst of the Auckland" "Observer"committed for contempt of court,and tho considered judgzoont wasawaited with mingled feelings as tohow it would go. Tho case, it willbe remembered, -was one arising outof a cartoon reflecting on Mr. Jua-tico Edwards m respect of a matri-monial nuit m which he had exercis-ed jurisdiction, and his Honor wassuggested to have shown bins mfavor of the. female party to thosuit; furthermore, the same issue, mlt« editorial column*, had left nodoubt as to the inference intended tobo drawn from tho cartoon. OnWednesday of this week t,bo reservedJudgment wim delivered, and it re-ftulted m tho unanimoun decision oftho Hcrteh Hmt th* respondent* werenot jtuilty of contempt nnd couldnot bo committed.

    » # "The decision, while not altogether

    itnexpfctvd' m legal circlcH, came

    Moroewhat an a surpritMi to tho gon-crtil public of thin Insular Dominion,whoro, ftccufttomrd as they nro \o bo(spoonfed nnd led to rfjr«rd thejttd^efl of th« Wind a« drmi-godn orarchanKcb far lw.v'ond thr» rruJms ofcriticism, a. word, however mildlyspokon, uttortKl ttcalnst t«« conductof ft. incmlKT of i\w lU«nch, ha«hitherto been rosftrded «*♥ approxl-mnttOK tne ob*ol«te onmembers of thegeneral public, but it was not to ueso. The Court was met face to facewith a problem of abstract law aswell as concrete fact which could riotbe evaded, be the judges' wisheswhat they may. Mr.. Justice Ed-wards had undoubtedly been held upto ridicule, and bias had been im-puted. That was admitted.

    'Had

    contempt of court been committed ?In the face of precedents of the Kntf-lish Courts, including some judg-ments expressed m unequivocalterms by the Privy Council, theCourt could not side-track, nor, ap-parently,' did it show any desire todo so, unless indeed, m the case ofMr. Justice Sim, who was probablysmarting under the sting of recentcriticism worse than that of a scor-pion. The judges are to be compli-.racnted upon their . recognition,though somewhat late m the day,that we m New Zealand have emerg-ed from the dark ages, and are liv-ing,m common with" the rest of theworld, m a free and enlightened era.

    Judges are as open to criticism asare any other members of the com-munity. So long as a case whilesub judice is not made the subject ofcomment, no contempt is committed.That was the burden of the judg-ment. The editorialin the"Obser-ver" was held unobjectionable, asbeing bona lido comment, evenif im-plying bias m a case that had con-cluded. Tho cartoon, while various-ly described m, scathing terms, washeld to bo no more than a defama-tory ljbel to be tried only m the or-dinary* way should the defamedjudge care to take action. It is sifeto say that a century ago, whenjudges were assumed to be tho di-rect representatives of the King,such would not have been the decis-ion, and it is interesting to note therapid progress m the development offreedom of discussion, and coinci-dently of freedom of writing andpublishing, which has taken placemeanwhile, until at last New Zea-land, the borne of democracy, by itshighest legal tribunal, declares itsjudges to be open to public criticism,and 'even hideous cartooning, withimpunity.

    ■* '"

    ■"

    The- judges, whilemunison, by nomeans based their individual judg-ments upon the same arguments,but, as "ail roods lead to Home,"the result was the same. His Honorthe Chief Justice (Sir RobertStout), m a calm and unimpossionedjudgment, m which tho various Eng-lish precedents were reviewedm or-der, made it cleat that Mr. JusticeEdwards's conduct was not underreview, nor was his Honor on trial.Assuming that the cartoon consti-tuted an offence, was it punishable.by summary jurisdiction ? Tho

    authorities elsewhere saidno; there was no'precedent m NewZealand. In the circumstances, hehad no hesitation that tho FullCourt had no jurisdiction to com-mit. The Ilight Hon. Sir JoshuaWilliams concurred with the ChiefJustice. Mr, Justice Denniston in-veighed against the cartoon m un-measured terms, but failed +^ seehow it could bo a contempt ofcourt, ns it referred solely to onecase, which had been concluded. Mr.Justice Cooper took up a highlytechnical stand. Tho Crimes Actprovided for offences against the ad-ministration of justice; therefore, of-fences of this kind were taken outof the categoryor offences triable byextraordinary Jurisdiction. Mr. Jus-tice Chapman was succinct. Therewas no New Zealand precedent, andho was not prepared to create one.The days were gone when criticismof a judge, unless regarding a casesub judice, could possibly affect theadministration of justice. Mr, Jus-tice Sim was of opinion that thopower to commit for contempt msuch cases still existed,; notwith-standing tho provisions of theCrimes Act.

    There is no such thing known toEnglish law as "tho liberty of thepress," trito as tho expression :nt»ybe, for a newspaper may publishneither more nor loss than may beuttered by the nown m tho. street.Thoro arb no "press offences'' InEnglish lnw as there oro m Franco.Any men may say or writ© or depictwhathe pleases, so lonir as he doesnot defame; U ho doe?, his ofTonco mtriable m the ordinary wny, and,even if tho object of his utterancesor writings or pictures bo a Judgo ofthe Supreme Court, he Is still onlytriable.

    TRAINING A TROTTER.H. J, Tasker v. Mabel Duncan

    Judgment for the Lady.

    tFrom "Truth's0 Christchurch RepJ

    At the Magistrate's Court, Christ-church, judgment was delivered lastFriday by Mr. T. A. B. Bailey, 5.M,,"mth'e action H. J. Tasker (Mr. Wright)v. Mabel Duncan (Mr. Cassidy). Thecase is one which has been the sub-ject of considerable civil court activitysince early last August, and the pro-crastinated judgment is interesting.The parties are well known m Christ-church, H. J. Tasker being one of theforemost horse trainers m Canterbury.Mabel (Mrs. R. O.) Duncan being a"light" m the local trotting world andalso owner of a long string of equihesand- a husband who is a recently-ap-pointed stipendiary steward.

    The plaintiff Tasker sought to reco-ver from the defendant Mabel Duncan

    £25 10s FOR SERVICES■ . RENDERED. : .- .

    Evidence showed that m December,1911,Mrs. Duncan was the owner of atrotting colt Vandyke, which she 'en-trusted-on November 1* to Tasker. forthe purpose of having him developed.For 17 weeks the colt was m Tasker'scare and his charge was 30s a week.The colt, when taken charge of by theplaintiff Tasker, was m ratr condition,but was m wretchedly poor conditionwhen returned to Mrs. Duncan mMarch.

    The plaintiff attributed tfye colt'spoor condition when returned to hishaving' developed strangles and to thefact that he abused himself.

    However, there wasAN EXTRAORDINARY CONFLICT

    of evidence. Itwasalleged by the de-fendant that Tasker's handling* andmanagement of .the colt were irapro-*per and such as would spoil the colt'stemper. The particular acts of impro-per treatment alleged to have, been re-lied onby the defendant were the useofa nail which was prodded Into theanimal's nose if he showed any signsof viciousnesa and the use of the coltfor teasing brood mares. The plain-tiff admitted having used a shoeingnail held m his hand to keep the coltfrom biting him while.handling, andHe also admitted having brought thecolt once to a brood mar© m a crusl*—not, he alleged, for 'the purpose ofteasing the mare, but for the purposeof seeing how the colt would behaveInpassing a mare, on the road und as,part of his training. v '

    i Mr. McLeod, an Auckland vet., stat-ed that when he was at T&sker'y hesaw the colt showingDISTINCT -SIGNS OF ILL-USAGE,

    such as weals from a whip and n lumpon his" head near the car. He alsostated that the colt looked starved andthat when ho pointed tin) fact out toTasker the latter mentioned that "theydon't get fat on mountain ulr andscenery, and that a shortage of oatswould quieten him" (meaning the

    Icolt). McLeod .also said he saw astick there with. a.nail m the end.which plaintiff told him he UHed forthe purpose of civilising the colt, ex-plaining that when the colt made" agrab at him he would,

    - ± , - ;-.....JAB THE NAIL IN HIS NOSE.

    He then, according to McLeod, pro-ceeded to Ulustrato his methods.

    The S.M. stated that he could notfind on tho evidence before him thatTasker had,established that the colt's

    Rcondkion when returned to Mrs. Dun-.can wasduo to strangles, or any othercircumstances outuldo the control oftho plaintiff.

    Judgment on the claim was enteredfor the defendant, Mabel.Duncan, withcosts.

    The defendant, Mabel Duncan,COUNTERCLAIMED FOR DAM-

    AGESto the coX through the plaintiffa neg-lect.. The S.M. found that she estab-lished her case,' but did not prove ma-terial damage. Tie assessed the dam-age at £5.'A claim for "the refund of a fee be-

    cause a maro was not served was dis-allowed, ihe S.M. stating that ho wasnot certain that a case had been es-tablished.

    BILLIARDS.(By "Old Amateur.")

    With Stevenson, Recce, Inman. Dig-glo andv possibly Aiken available aspartners, it reads strangely that Grayhas to cross cues with unknown play-ers,but it is just on the cards that theAustralian is experiencing a boycott.It is well known that the English pro.men have little regard for the red ballwizard who, while always willing toconcede points,usually wins hiamatches. During bis seasons m Eng-*land Gray has so far met with defeaton only two occasions, once at thehands of Darlington Smith, and m thethird of a series' of matches with H.W. Stevenson. Gate percentages andhandicaps are always matters otserious discussion"between pro. play-ers, and during a season many gamesthat would cause, much interest and.exciting contests are not arrangedsolely because these important itemscannot be amicably adjusted. AH theleading pros, consider themselves per-sonally entitled to 60 per cent ofgfchegate receipts, and as 60 will not^Kbtwice into a TOO very easily, there'snothing doing.

    Alec'Taylor, the world's greatestfancy and trick shot player, arrivedIn Auckland lost week, Taylor, who iaon a world's tour, proposes giving ex-hibitions m all the large towns of theDominion. Some time back Taylorhada bad accident toone of his shoul-,ders, but has now fully recovered andIs rapidly coming buck to this bestform. At the Pacific Clsb Taylorplayed a jnatch concedingFredFarroll300 m 800 and winning by 60 points.Though Taylor made no big runs hewas delightfully consistent, and hisshowing was an object lesson Incush-ion cannon, runs through and maesostrokes, which were executed withwonderful ease and certainty. Thefancy shot display after the billiardsshowed Taylor as a specially fine ar-tist, and ho mixed his exhibition withmuch humor, introducing some freakeffects that convulsed tbo audienceand won much applause.

    The arrangements Tor. tour of Mr.Taylor arem the hands of Messrs. Al-cock and Co., Ltd., who will accord ful-lest information on application. Sev-eral engagements will be found forTaylor In Auckland, and if opportun-ity offers tho.visitor will give exhibi-tions m tho various towns en route foWellington.

    At tho Amateur Sports Club, Auck-land, Jim Cook defeated K. Burke mthe first game for the ciub champion-ship by 27 points. Owing to tho safetytactics of tho players the 500 up oc-cupied over three hours. Cook madoa number of breaks'under 30 ami wasvery consistent. The loser made 67,b-i and 44 (ail off the white) as bestbreaks, but missed many good oppor-tunities relying too much on safecnu-tious play.

    Handicapper Pollock does someextraordinary things, but surely thelimit was reached -when he put 7.10on Tree Lucerne m the Pearce Han-dicap at TrenCham !

    '"Amongst

    those underneath H. Johnston'shorse were Lady Moutoa, winner of,the. Hawke's Bay Oup, Parky OVin-ter Cup), Seatotidale (M&rton!Chip),and Ladoga, who put up the bestgallop of the day m. the openingevent of the meeting. It would takeup top much space to go into fai-ther detaiils m th« comparison ofTree Lucerne's weight with the oth»rhorses m the race, but the aboveshould be quite sufficient to ilhis-t*ate another of the many botchesmade by tins handicapper. Comparethe treatment of Ladoga, who isowned by "P. Soames,".a Govern-ment politician, who is apparentlyashamed of his connection with ihoturf, with. that of Tree Lucerne,which is owned by a battler. IfPollock can show his justification forthis handicapping, he is at liberty todo so per medium of our columns., "

    The hurdle gelding, Koran, died atWaverley last Saturday.

    Twenty-s?ven horses have acceptedfor the Melbourne Cup on Tuesday..

    Kaniki was prominent at the finish|of both the open sprint events atTrentham. If he goes on the rightway, the handsome son of Manio-poto should annex a stake at the!C.J.C. meeting.

    The owner of Glenfern missed thenominations at Riccarton. Thiswas 'bad luck, for the chestnutshowed pace enough at Trentham tosuggest that he would have been onhand m the welters at Riccarton.'Credited with havjng,done a. par-ticularly smart gallop before the

    diera m ,the Shorts Handicapthought they were unlucky to bebeaten by Merry Roe. The chestnuthouse certainly got a bad passageatthe half mile, but he got his posi-tion very quickly,and was m a goodenough position'tovhave won m" thestraight, but he finished like a drun-ken man, and win have to improvea heap if he is to win theStewards'HaanHcap. ...

    Northern Notes.(By "Wafmangu.")

    Diavolo and Sir Moseley, who areengaged iv the City- Handicap andGreat NorthernGuineas respectively,arrived from the south on Saturday.Both horses have,dope a lot of rac-ing and are well seasoned. SirMoseley is said to be good, and goodjudges expec£ him to keep the bestof them moving m the Guineas.

    Montiform did hot return fromPoverty Bay, and .was 'left behind,mW. Porter's stables. The ,big.geld-ing was not of much account, and itwas apparently a flash m the panwhen he beat Heatherbrae at El-lerslie.

    Jollie Fillo looks very fresh, and[the useful daughter of Soult will beamongst the well backed startersnext month.

    A'ddnought,' who won the HackSteeplechase on the first day atTrentham, is engaged at Ellerslie,and cis expected to fulfil his engage-ments.

    There was little to choose betweenMotorman and Soultikoff m a gal-lop over six furlongs on the grass.Motorman can gallop fairly fast, andmay. pick up * a small stake beforelong.

    King Chiara; who, figures m theHobsori Handicap with ,8.0, carried8.11 to victory m the Maiden atWaverley on Monday.

    Merrie Lad was brought up toAuckland on Saturday to fulfil en-gagements m hurdle events.

    With 7.12, Bluestone appears to benicely treatod m the Flying Handi-cap, and werehe to hit his best formhe would prove a very stiff proposi-tion for the best of them to copewith.. Golden Grain, a big chestnut m

    Rae's stables, has been thrown outof work, and will be treated to alengthy spell.

    Of .the hurdlers working, nothinglooks better than Watchchain, andas he is also galloping freely, J.

    "Williamson has good reasons to ex-pect a stake to come his way.

    B. Deeley will ride Royal Irish mthe City Handicap. The little horsehas run some good- races in' opencompany, but there seems to be adoubt about his ability to get tothe end of a mile and a-fluarter withourbest.

    With Castalia out of the way,Avondale form points to Delenda*be-ing a tough proposition at Ellerslie,butIam afraid that one or two ofher opponents will turn the tablesnext time. out. '

    Although Goldsize will not bethoroughly wound up, he is puttinga lot of dash into his work. Lastweek, Chaafe stepped him out . overs£ven furlongs on the grass, and thelittle,chestnut reached the post m1.32 2-5.

    Antiphone appears to be gallopingm his beat style, and m a sprintover six furlongs with Tangiwaithere was little to choose betweenthem. ;

    Christmas Rose can gallop fairlyI fast, and she should be worth not-Iing when she meets moderate oppo-sition. She is a half-sister to SantaRosa and is m George Absolum'sstables.

    Maxwell and Waimangu were com-panionsone morning last week over-a circuit on the grass. The pacewason the whole way, ami the pair ranIhome locked together m 1.52. Onthe same morning Colonel Soulttook a second longer over the sameroute.

    Spalfish shows plenty of dash opthe track, and it would take apretty good maiden to beat him mthe:early mornings. However, m arace he is almost useless, and isnever sighted. Perhaps a goodhorseman would make a big differ-ence.

    Pip is again located at .Bilerslie,and getting through serviceaftfework. The littleMerrie England gel-ding has won a number of races,thanks to the poor lot of hurdlersat present m Auckland.

    Lady Penury,a chestnut youngsterat Ellerslie, has yet to start m arace, but, taking a line through hertrack-efforts, she promises to turnout useful. One morning last weekshe ranhalf a mile m 50 4-5.F.Loomb stepped Lady Alicia out

    over half a mile, the daughter ofObligado running home m 50. How*fever, the track is exceptionally fast,and she does net strike one as a jwinner at' Ellerslie. !

    Both J. Bonquest and C. Brownwereriding well at PovertyBay, andthey were at the head of the win-ning horsemen.

    Maxwellwas wearing a bandage onSaturday morning, /and is evidentlycausing his trainer some anxiety. Hois galloping well, and providing hesees,the post, will bo hard to dis-pose of m the City Handicap.

    Tact had no trouble to defeatPrince Soult ov«r five furlongs onemorning lost week, andthe daughterof Obligado was going very freely atthe end. On the first day or theNovember meeting m 1911she won adoable, ami she will be hard to beatagain this time.

    That fine sprinter, Toreador, ap-pears to be affected m the wind.This is a piece of bad luck for hisowner, Mr. L. Harris, as the son ofSpalpeen would assuredly have wonsome good races.

    Auckland punters had the luckout with themonMonday when theywent solidly for Bleriot In theChampion Plate, which went toMerry Roe, also belonging to Mr. F.Hall.In winning both the Shorts Han-

    dicap and Champion Plate at Tren-tharo, the Auckland filly, MerryRoe,was responsible for two very ftnoperformances, und her running makesPrince Morriwee, who defeatedher mthe Avondafo Cup, out to be agoodone. Either, that, or Merry Hoe wasunlucky to lose the race mentioned.

    Goldfindcr broke down at Gisborneand consequently he can be left oatof the City Handicap.

    Though Colonel Soult let hlfl sup-porters down at Avondale, it wotUdbe as well not to overlook him mapproaching events. On Saturdaymorning he finished just m front ofWolmanfru over a circuit on theBaud.

    Waiorowa is a much better marethan when shi> raced at Avondale,but flho will want to be at her bestto win the Shorts Handicap with0.3. In tho IPlying she should beable to run soven furlongs with 8.4.
