JUDGE'S WARNING:

Lospos, June 7th Extracts from a letter sent by juryman to an official of the High Court were read by Mr. Justice Avory at the sitting of his court yesterday.

The name of Mr. Richard Han non, of the Union Tavern, Union Wharf, Greenwich, was called, and when Mr... Hannon stepped forward, 317. Justice Avory said, You say in

this letter

Other people's troubles don't interest me, as I am far from being a righteous man and I don't know from one day to an- other when I may be in the divorce court or any other court myself. I am one of those people ho live in a glass house and, must not throw therstore, I stones. I will come, but I will judge not.

Criminal Offence. Mr. Justice Avory: If you had done so you would have been com- mitting a criminal offence. You will remain in attendance at the court, and if you are not here when your name is called you will be severely fined.

I shail have this letter forward- ed to the licensing justices of the division in which your house is situated so that they may consider whether you are a fit person to continue to hold the licence.

Mr. Hannon: That doesn't mat ter. I can get one somewhere else. "Mr. Hannon then went to the back of the court and remained there.

Jurymen summoned for the hear ing of cases are liable for service till the end of the week unless released earlier by the judge. Mr. Hannon, who remained in court throughout the day, will have to appear there again" to-day.

With the object of ascertaining if there were any foundation for the statement in foreign newspapers that the ex-Kaiser has recently paid several visits to Germany, the Berlin MittageZeitung sent a special correspondent to Doorn. Eaiser by no megus lives as a

From time to time Dr. Kan, the Dutch Minister for Home Affairs, pays a personal visit to Doorn Bo that the Government may know that all is in order there. This Minister is, however, the ex-

Kaiser's personal friend and plays tennis with him.

The ex-Kaiser'e latest hobby is the rose garden laid out in the neighbourhood of his palace. All the roses and other flowers are the gifts of friends in Germany and to each is attached a wooden label on which the name of the donor is given.

German Ex-Soldiers.

The rose garden is tended by German ex-soldiers in green uni- form who wear a silver "W" on their caps.
