A FIGHT AT AUCKLAND.
TO A FINISH. RT TELEGEA.PH— PEESS ASSOCIATION. AUCKLAND, Dec. 28. A fracas occurred at Devonpor't on Christmas Eye and morning which may result in serious consequences. Shortly before midnight on Saturday two young men commenced to fight on Victoria wharf to settle a long-standing grievance. After an exchange of blows they suspended hostilities and adjourned to the Mount Victoria Reserve, where it is said they, in company with fellow-roys-terers, had several drinks from -a store, purchased to carry the thirsty souls over the festive season. The fight, which had been stopped on the wharf, was resumed and kept up for some time. One of the contestants eventually lapsed into a state of unconsciousness, and medical aid and the police were called to the scene, which was near the fire brigade station in Kerr street, at 3.30 a.m. on Christmas Day. After receiving attention the injured man was conveyed to his home, where he has since been confined. It is probable that the police will take action in the matter
