Kenrick, S.M., a soldier from Samoa, who is at present on a month's leave, named Cms. Victor, and : James Mairnix, were charged with an offence under' the anti-shouting regulations. The affair took place at the Caledonian Hotel. Senior Sergeant Eales stated that Mannix was a_ very temperate man. Tho way in which the drinks were paid for was to some extent amusing. Both men called for their drinks, and "the soldier tendered a shilling. The bartender returned sixpence change, and the soldier pushed tho money along in front of Mannix, who then pushed the coin forward. Accused Victor knew of the anti-shouting regulations, as they are in force in Samoa, so thero was no excuse in that direction. His AA'orship inflicted a fino of £1, 1 costs 75., in each case. The.Mayor (Mr. J. V. Brown, M.P.) paid the soldier's fine.
