INCIDENTS IN STREETS

MAGISTRATE’S ADVICE (P.A.) AUCKLAND, September 18. The opinion that it would be advisable for New Zealand and Allied authorities to establish a course of instruction in the relations of servicemen toward one another was expressed by Mr J. H. luxford, S.M., to-day. during the hearing of charges arising out of an Incident in Queen street on Saturday night., "I hope our own authorities see that these imaginary grievances are eradicated,” said the Magistrate. "I know flow easily these things can be worked up from nothing. In one week I have had three incidents of this nature before me. in one case an Allied serviceman was wrong; in the second a New Zealand naval rating was wrong, and in tnis instance it appears that both parties are In the wrong.” ■ . . The case was one In which Edward Lucre, a New Zealand warrant officer, admitted having resisted a constable in the execution of his duty, but denied a charge of fighting. On the first information he was fined £7. and after the hear Ing of evidence the second charge was withdrawn. DAILY MEMORANDA— Tuesday, Sept. 19. AUCTIONS.
