WOMAN OBSTRUCTIONIST.
CHRISTCHURCH STRIKE. FINED £20 OR THREE MONTHS. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, Tuesday. Rosina Stuart Trevclla, a married woman, was fined £20, in default three months' hard labour, by Mr. E. D. Mosley, S.M., this morning, on a charge of wilfully obstructing a police sergea.nt in Cathedral Square on May G. The police said the offence occurred when a crowd was hooting volunteer tram workers. The woman twice refused to move on and would have been arrested then, but the arrest of a woman at such a time would have precipitated trouble. In answer to questions in Court, the woman denied being an obstructionist. When asked whether she was in Lambton Quay, Wellington, when trouble occurred there, accused said, "Not that I know ofi. I do not know Wellington very well. I was in Wellington on business." The Sub-Inspector of Police: Have you not said it was music to hear the glass being broken? Accused: I have not.
