Defendant proved I hat though he had consented to an order being taken out against him under compulsion, no formal notice had le-u served on him, that euch an order w.u ii. force. Defendant was severely oau'.ioned and dismissed, the Magistrate rem uking tlijt it appeared to him 10 be an v msual thins?, that notice should not have bet-n solved on defendant. Assauit.—G P Hoatton was charged with havinj? assaulted hia wife, Mary Jans Hoat ten, at the Ashburton Railway station on October 27 by pushing her about, and abus ing her before the crowd. The parties mutually separated about six months ago. Plaintiff said the? had liyad unhappily to gether for some years, and agreed to a mutual separation ; since which time defen dant had frequently assaulted her, and she was m fear of her life at hia hands; and prayed for a protection order, and that d,efeadan| be bouid over to keep the p; acf towards her, —BtDJimin Evans, deposed that he wa,s on the railway plat form on the day m question, 4nd saw Hoat ea pushing hit wife about. Witness told him to desi&t or he would have him arrested. Hoatten was m a very excited state at the time, and used very abusive language towards his wife. Accused did not appear to be intoxcated —C Cooper g*ve corroborative evidence.-—After hearing the evidence his Worship remarked that it appeared as if both parties were m fault, and after severely cautioning Hoatten with regard to his future behaviour dismissed the case.

Judgment by default ; Campbell v Ashburton Newspaper Coy, Ltd, £4 10s. Mr Cuthbertson for claimant and Mr Crisp for the defendant Coy. A counter claim was put m for £16. —ft Campbell said he waa engaged as a compositor on the staff of the Company m question, at a salary of £2 per week, i Agreed to take £1 per week to start with, and the balance when McKeague's book was published, but the wages were very irregu larly paid, and he could pot ge*> his £1 regularly, left on trmt account-. Had never been inc<ps>ble of doing |>is work. Frequently had to get cheques of |ho Com pany discounted, bearing thu cogtlhimse'f. His claim was £2 wages and £2 lfa bonus on a j')b that he turned out as per ofentracb. McKeague, the manager, promised htm the bonus. Left the same <Jay he gave the notice. It was not true that the Company constantly had to get men ; to do his work When he left he considered the sum of £14 8i 31 was due to him for wagea aiid boius.-^ cj.

Ba Kiwd to the Little Ones.—There ib no tyranny so hard to bear as the tyranny of parents who, without meaning to be cruel, do nob understand their children. How continually do we find a child punished because it is fretful. It does not ueem to occur to some parents that m nine cases out of ten a child's fretfulness arises from ill health or from some temporary ailment Bub this is assuredly true, and, instead of punishing their children, parents will do well to take steps to keep them healthy and etrong.
