SALVATION ARMY AND FREETHOUGHT CONFLICT.
Timabu, This day.
At the RM. Court to-day, Captain Smith, of the Salvation Army, and T. Graham, a tailor and mob orator on freethought, were charged with committing a breach of the peace on the Market Reserve on Sunday afternoon. Graham, having mounted a wagon used by the other party as a pulpit, was haranguing the crowd on "Morality" when the Army approached, and a contention arose between the two defendants as to the possession of the wagon, culminating in Smith hurling Graham down repeatedly. Evidence was heard on both sides, affording considerable amusement to a dense crowd that thronged the Court. The Bench inflicted a fine of £1 and costs on each defendant.
