| The decision of some of our Judges
these days rival in practical effective
ness, if not in wisdom, those of solo
mon of old. Judge Hughes had a
wife beaten living in the country be-
fore the bar of Justice at Wells last
week, says The Advocate. 1t was
his second appearance on a similar
charge. The first time he was fined
SIS which paid but in making this
payment the family as well as he suf-
fered for the necessities of life. To
pay a fine again would mean more
hardships for the family. Then hap.
Ply solution presented itself to the
judicial mind of Hughes and he fined
the offender 800 and costs-which he
paid. Then the judge RENTED the
fine and placed it in local bank
to the credit of the beaten wife to be
| used for clothing for herself and child
rem and now they are dressed and fed
and thus common sense aided the Judge
in meeting justice.
