A REMISSION OF SENTENCE.
Telegraph Press Association Gonvright Chkistohvrch, This Day. The Governor has announced the remission of ;the major portion of a recent police court sentence which caused considerable comment — that of John Manbon, charged with the use of indecent language in a public place. The presiding Justices inflicted a fine of £20, with the alternative of six months' imprisonment, although the police urged that the offence was not serious and nothing was known against the accused. The matter was brought under the notice of the Minister of Justice, who referred it to his Excellency. The latter ordered a remission of five months of the sentence.
