Oh dear.

[Daphne – Indeed it is. I know a good deal more than I let on, having held back on the specifics so as not to render identifiable the person/s to whom the delivery was made.]

The consequences for such things could and should be catastrophic not for Mrs Mizzi but for her husband.

[Daphne – Why would they be? We know for a fact that judges and magistrates can and will do exactly as they please because there is no controlling mechanism. Others have done far worse and held on – no need to mention names.]

I sincerely hope they have a valid reason, if of course this really happened, and of course if it happened in the period that the car was assigned to the magistrate for official use.

If I am correct, cars assigned to magistrates and judgesare hired from garages to be used for their official duties, when not being used, there is nothing to keep the garages from making use of them for private work.

[Daphne – Not quite, Silvio. Their officlal cars are part of their ‘package’, to be used 24 hours a day whenever and however they please. Proper people would draw the line, however, at interpreting this to mean letting your wife use it as a delivery van for her business.]

“Ghaqal.”

MR MAGISTRATE PLEASE EXPLAIN!
