TALES TOLD TO THE MACHISTRATE,
TWO ITALIANS,
IRISHMAN.
[BY R. E. CORDER]
Two Italian brothers keep a'café in Waterloo-road, wherein at the busiest hour on Saturday morning entered Patrick Joseph Johnson," whose accent revealed him a native of Belfast.
The order of the new customer was as modest as his manner was brusque. He wanted merely a cup of tea, and two minutes after it was served he was cast ing reflections on the ancestry of the older Italian, whose throat he offered to cut neatly, quickly, and free of charge Resenting both the insult and the threat, the Italian carefully removed the empty teacup, and sought to remove the Irishman, who, however, twisted his right thumb, tore open the collar of his shirt and deliberately swept four cupe and a jug of milk off the counter.
With gloomy satisfaction--Patrick Joseph surveyed the wreck, and, with a parting aspersion on the Italian's paren- tage, strode into a neighbouring public house.
COERCION OF WIVES LAW
DROPPED.
NEW PENALTIES FOR DRUNKEN MOTORISTS,
SPEEDIER JUSTICE.
Important changes in the English law affecting the position of husband and wife and motoring and other offenders comes into force under Part 2 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1925.
The old legal presumption that an offence committed by a wife in the pre- sence of her husband is committed under coercion by the man is abolished.
It will still be a good defence on behalf of the wife, however, to prove in a charge against her for any offence, ather than treason or murder, that the offence was committed in the presence and under the coercion of the husband.
Under the new Act a dranken motorist may be sentenced to four months' im prisonment, or fined up to £50, or bath, and shall (not "may" be disqualified from holding a driving licence for twelve months, with the right to appeal for a remission of the sentence at the end of three months.

Mr. Tassell, the magistrate at Tower Bridge Police Court, told. Patrick Joseph that his cup of tea would cost 15s., of which 5s. would pay for the broken crockery and the spilt milk.

"It is not generally known," Sir James Parr continued, that New Zealand offers an excellent home for the retired professional or Army and Navy people with small fixed incomes, who have been heavily hit in this country by war and taxation. We want people with-a-little capital."
