FIREWORKS AT GORE
SEQUEL IN, COURT.
GORE, 16th June.
In the Magistrate's Court to-day, Max Graeve was charged by the police that on 4th June he did discharge fireworks in a public place. Alexander Schultz was charged with assisting in the commission of the offence by supplying .Graeve with fireworks.
Inspector Norwood prosecuted. Graeve did not appear, but Schultz pleaded guilty.
The Magistrate (Mr. Young) said the defendants discharged fireworks or crackers and Chinese bombs. This was ■admitted.-- It was quite clear from th& statement of. the Inspector that these young men were not celebrating, a Germau naval "victory;"nor were they heard using'disloyal words. They were guilty of discharging fireworks in the principal "streets of Gore on a Sunday; they made a noise and disturbed people. The action of the men was very- indiscreet, seeing that they bore German names, and under the special circumstances existing, to let off fireworks might have led to a breach of the peace. Each defendant would be fined £3 and Court costs.
