COURT DISTURBED.
NOISE OF GRAMOPHONE. Per Press Association. HAMILTON, Feb. 28. The noise of a gramophone in a shop near the courthouse at Hamilton disturbed the proceedings in the Supreme Court to-clay. His Honour Mr Justice Blair said: “Get somebody to 6lip over and stop that noise.” A constable left and returned, but the noise persisted. A sergeant of police then made his way over the road. With his reappearance a new record was put on. Two sergeants then saw the music seller, but even their persuasion failed to effect a cessation of the music. Finally His Honour instructed the sergeant in charge, if the gramophone was still playing in the afternoon, to arrest the culprit and bring him before the Court. His Honour would then deal with him. The hint was sufficient and p>eace reigned.
