OLD SOLDIER “COT OUT OF STEP”
Found In Hotel On Anzac Day (New Zealana Press Association) WELLINGTON, July 29. A plea for sympathy was made by one of many former servicemen, found by the police when they visited the Post Office Hotel, Wellington, at 8.45 a.m. on Anzac Day, when he was charged in the Magistrate’s Court today with being on licensed premises after hours. “I always thought,” he told Mr J. S. Hanna, S.M., “that the thing to do on Anzac Day was to follow the man in front and keep in step. That’s what I did, but a constable came into the hotel and told me I was out of step.” The prosecutor (Mr M. Brown), who had not formally given his summary of the facts at that stage,said be felt the defendant had summed the position up accurately. The Magistrate reminded the man that he had “really no right whatsoever" to be in a hotel on Anzac Day and fined him £2, costs 30s.
