BLARE OF GRAMOPHONE DISTURBS HIS HONOUR
THREAT OF ARREST HAS QUICK EFFECT. Per Press Association. HAMILTON, Last Night, The noise of a gramophone in a shop near the Courthouse disturbed the proceedings of the Supreme Court to-day, Mr. Justice Blair asked that someone should slip over and stop the noise. A constable left and returned but the noise persisted. The sergeant of policy then made his way over the road but with his reappearance a new record wa* put on. Two sergeants next saw the music seller, but even their persuasion failed to effect a cessation of the music. Finally, His Honour instructed the sergeant in charge that if the gramophone jwas still playing in the afternoon to arrest the culprit and bring him before the Court. His Honour said he would then deal with him.
The hint was sufficient and peace reigned.
