A Day Out.—Two young men, George Siddens and Daniel O'Neil, were charged with having made matters generally lively in the vicinity of the Thames Hotel yesterday. Mr. J. R. Lundon defended. The evidence of Augustus Wheatly, the barman, was to the effect that the accused, with several other men, entered the hotel during the morning and demanded free drinks, one of them, upon a refusal, picking up a glass and throwing it at him. A little later they left, but in the course of the day they returned five or six times, and on each occasion things became pretty sultry, and the language blue. When Siddens was arrested by Constable Hunter he made steenuous and physical objection, for which he was also called upon to account, but failed to do so to the satisfaction of the presiding justiees,l*who fined him 40/ and costs, in default seven days' imprisonment, as a corrective in this respect. A similar penalty was inflicted upon Siddens for the use of obscene language. The information against O*Neil was dismissed.
