A NOVEL METHOD OF DEBT COLLECTING..
(fRKSS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.)
AUCKLAND, July 8. Some sensation was caused in Queen street on Saturday evening by a man named Henry Bloustein, who was behaving in a highly dangerous manner with what wns believed to bo a loudecl revolver. Several bystanders quickly closed with him, and he was placed in a cab and removed to the lockup. He appeared at the Magistrate's Court this morning charged with threatening to shoot Solomon Bloustein. His counsel asked for a remand until Wednesday. .The two mcn —accused and complainant — were brothers ana partners, and littl© passages of arms wpive always taking place between them. This was merely one of many. "That is so," replied Solomon, "but nothing so serious as this. I don't want to press the charge, but I really must appeal to your Worships for some restraint being put upon him, otherwise I shall not b© saf©."
"It is just a novel way of debt collecting," remarked Mr Lundon. "There is a matter of £10 between the two brothers, complainant being the borrower, and my client tho lender. Tlie latter thought perhaps that an empty revolver migljt facilitate repayment.'Th© adjournment was granted.
