(PEB PRESS ASSOCIATION.) Well ngton, July 21. The man Fisher has been committed for trial for violently assaulting Rebecca Griffin and attempting to stab her. A large crowd gathered at Mercerstreet on Thursday night in response to an advertisement calling a meeting of protest against the light fines inflicted in recent sly-grog oases by Mr Stratford, S.M., at Balclutha. Mr Taylor, M.H.R., moved the following i esolution : " This meeting is of opinion that the absurd penalties recently inflicted bj Mr Stratford in connection with the conviction of Alex. Murray for sly-grog selling are calculated to bring licensing law into contempt and discourage the police in the execution of their duty." The voting was about equal, a majority of those present abstaining from voting. Palmbbston North, July 22. At the S.M. Court to-day J. Kuhtze, brewer, was fined £5 each on two charges of failing to keep books showing the quantity of beer sold and removed from tbe "brewery.
