CRASHING PARTIES
‘Prevalent Practice’
(N.Z. Press Association)
AUCKLAND, September 13. It was Hie Court’s duty to discourage gate-crashing parties, Mr Justice Gresson said in the Supreme Court, Auckland, today. His Honour dismissed appeals by three men against conviction and sentence on charges of wilful trespass. “Persons Who attend parties uninvited, and then, when asked to leave, create a disturbance such as arose here, cause intense annoyance and trouble to law-abiding citizens,” he said. “The practice has become far too prevalent of late and it is the Court’s plain duty to discourage it,” he said. Before the Court were William James Lawson, aged 31, a salesman, Paul Michael Nepia, aged 31, a workman, and Raymon Dale Pennington, aged 26, a moulder. They were appealing against the conviction and sentence of one month’s imprisonment imposed in the Magistrate’s Court.
