ADMINISTRATION OF LICENSING LAW.
* CRITICISM RESENTED. (PRESS ASSOCIATION' TBUWBiX.) WELLINGTON, November 28. Mr A. 11. Atkinson, president of the Now Zealand Alliance, addressed an open-air meeting at Nelson on Saturday, in the course of which he offered some criticism on the administration of the licensing law by the Nelson police. This was resented by a large section, of the audience, and there was a rush for the lorry, in the course of which the speaker was twice, to use his own description, technically assaulted. A detective and a constable came to the rescue and escorted Mr Atkinson to the police station, accompanied by some friends and some hundreds who were hostile, but ultimately calmed down. They waited at tho front door, but ia the meantime Mr Atkinson had gone out by the back, and the crowd then dispersed.
