WARNING TO UNION OFFICIALS.
AUCKLAND, November 26. Three coses arising out of the recent industrial unrest were dealt with by

The president of the Painters' Union, William James Hallet, was charged with threatening behaviour on November 18.

Accused was convicted and fined £2 and costs (£1 7s). ;
A charge of using insulting language in Queen Street on Monday last was preferred against Robert Cromwell* a young man, who was accused of making use of offensive words to special constables.
