“DON'T WANT HIM HERE"
MAGISTRATE’S COMMENT - SEAMAN WITH RAZOR. [Per Press Association.—Copyright.! DUNEDIN, Wednesday. While running amok with a blade razor aboard the motor vessel Armadale, between Lyttelton and Dunedin, a seaman named Edward Haslam chased a greaser and had to be apprehended by the captain and officers. In the Magistrate’s Court today the police stated that Haslam, who was charged with assaulting Frederick George Gwyer, on November 5, partook of considerable liquor at Lyttelton, got possession of a razor, and chased Gwyer. Heslam was put in the hospital room, but smashed the door with a stretcher. He was then seized by the crew and locked in the forepeak. When examined here he was fairly rational, but was still suffering the effects < of alcohol. Accused signed on in New South Wales and more or less misbehaved himself on the voyage out, Haslam was fined 20/ or two days, the magistrate remarking that the ship would have to take him. “We don’t want him here,” he said.
