TIMARU.
January 17
Thomas O'Driscoll, Jeremiah Flowers, Patrick O'Hea, Patrick O'Connor, John Denby, and Maurice Monahan, who were convicted at the District Court about ten months ago of rioting on Boxing Day, appeared before Judge Ward on Saturday for sentence. Mr Stout, the counsel for the defence, called a number of witnesses as to character, including Messrs Wakefield and Turnbull, M.H.R.'s. The Judge said he would take into consideration the long time that had elapsed since the trial, and the fact that an Orange procession had since been held without
molestation. O'Driscoll, having promoted the disturbance by his letter, was fined £100. The others were required to enter into their own recognizances to appear for sentence when called on. His Honor's concluding exordium was —"One word before you go : Sin no more, lest a worse thing come to you." Mervy, a publican, was fiaed 40s to« day for Sunday trading. Warne, a publican at Pleasant Point, who swore very hard, was lectured and fined £10 for selling after hours.
