EXCITED MAN'S THREAT.

REGRET EXPRESSED. A printer, Albert Cameron, - aged G3, who was arrested last Saturday morning during the demonstration, pleaded guilty to charges of using inflecent language and behaving in a threatening manner. J Inspector Edwards said that about the time the police broke up the procession, Cameron was among tho crowd. "Although I did not see or hear anything, Cameron took off his coat and addressed the words to me," said the inspector. . "Inspector Hollis was alongside this man and witnessed the incident." Mr. Edwards said Cameron was not in any way connected with the persons who instigated the procession. "I think his zeal outweighed his discretion," said the inspector. * "Had he carried out his threat at,the time, an ugly disturbance might have arisen among the crowd." Mr. B. Elwarth, ,who appeared for accused, said Cameron had been a relief worker for over three 3'ears. He gathered that the procession was advocating ■better conditions for relief workers, and he naturally sympathised with it. Cameron became excited. He now regretted what occurred. He was not actuated by any ill will, as he had the greatest respect for the police force. He was convicted and ordered to come up for sentence within six months.
