"You've been living cheap," remarked this Honour the Paisne Judge to a defendant in the Summary Court this morning. "Why have you not paid this rent?" "I have not paid any rent since 1951," "Why not?" "Plaintiff told me he did not want me to pay rent, so I did not do so." Plaintiff's solicitor produced books to show that rent was paid in June last, but all their efforts to get any more were futile. Then why don't you get rid of him "He
won't go," "Then you might get a policeman to go along with you and turn him out. There will be judgnient and costs for rent as claimed to date $78.30, and you had better get rid of him-he's a very stupid old man, and an un-
desirable tenant."
