USED BAD LANGUAGE.
RACEHORSE OWNER CHARGED
SEQUEL TO “A NIGHT OUT.”
WANGANUI, Feb. 4. Hugh M. Speed, the well-known owner of the racehorse Civility; came before Mr Barton, S.M., for sentence on a charge of having used obscene language at 4 a.m. last week to a constable on Taupo Quay. Defendant had had “a night out, and -frith another man lie had motored to the Quay for more liquor. The constable called his attention to the fact that the car’s engine had been left running, and asked who was in charge of the car. Speed then used filthy language. The magistrate told Speed that he had gone dangerously near to being dealt with in connection with the motor car. On the charge of having used obscene language he would be ordered to come up for sentence within the year. If he failed to be of good behaviour he could expect imprisonment, without the option of a fine.
