UNEMPLOYED MARCH.
SEQUEL IN COURT. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, April 10. Philip Gordon Brazier and John Sandford, described as agitators, appeared before Mr Page, S.M., to-day to answer charges arising from the unemployed demonstration last Saturday, when the traffic was held up and the trolley poles of tram cars removed. Brazier was fined £2O on one charge of marching in a procession in Willis and Cuba Street, in consequence of which others were induced to march so as to impede the traffic. On another charge of causing a procession he was convicted and ordered to come up for sentence. Similar charges against Sandford were dismissed, owing to insufficient evidence.
The majority of those who took part in the procession, according to the Sub-Inspector of Police, appeared to be quite young, and more or less irresponsible types of larrikins.
