Arising out of a drunken melee which occurred outside the Central Hot-el, Petone, about 6.15 p.m. yesterday, Harry Rose, a labourer recently arrived in the district, Hendrik Ruiter, a native of Holland, and Daniel Galloway, were arrested by Constable Canning, and charged ai the Petone Court this morning, before Messrs. R. W. Short and J. Wakeham, Justices of tho Peace, with threatening behaviour likely to result in ■a breach of the peace. They were convicted and fined 20s each, in default seven days' imprisonment. Rose was further charged with being drunk, and, as he had been convicted the day before, was further penalised to the extent of 20a, in default seven days.
Daniel Galloway, who, during the Court proceedings, had charged Ruiter with making disloyal statements, proceeded against him on a charge of assault. Ruiter admitted striking plaintiff with a bottle, but said that Galloway had been tho aggressor. The Bench dismissed the information.
