Two men, Michael Murphy and Richard O'Brien, appeared at the Magistrate's Court this morning to answer charges of having behaved in a threatening manner in Cuba-street. When Acting Sub-Inspector Emerson said that the peculiar part of the affair was that the men were the best of friends and still were, both smiled broadly, though Murphy's smile was marred by a satlly-dis-coloured eye and a damaged cheek, and confirmed the statement. After the fight, in which one man "took the count," was over, there was nothing between them. "Probably no more than a drunken vow," said Mr. F. V. Frazer. S.M., "complicated by the Irish question." Each was ordered to pay a fine of 103, in default, to go to gaol for 48 hours. Murphy was convicted and discharged for drunkenness.
