SEQUEL TO SCHOOL FEUD
BLOWS IN THE STREET [Pee United Press Association.] WELLINGTON, August 18. One is expected to drop school feuds after leaving school and not fight in a public place, whatever offence may be given to the ‘ old school tie,’ ” said the magistrate (Mr A. M. Goulding), in fining Frederick Haswell Thomas Smith, aged 20, £1 for striking Guy Davis Thornton outside a skating rink. According to counsel, there was a feud between the boys of Wellington College and the Wellington Technical College, and Smith, having just left school, kept it up. Apparently the Wellington College boys referred to the Technical College boys as “gutter rats.” The youths mixed up in the affair were known to each other, having been at primary school together.
