WELLINGTON, Saturday. Constable McGregor received a severe handling last night from two men whom he had previeously warned, but who persisted in misbehaviour. He attempted to arrest Daniel O'Brien, but the man resisted violently. David Harrison, the second man, then attacked the constable and kicked him. The constable whistled for assistance, which arrived, and both men were arrested. O'Brien was to-day fined £4 or seven days for obscenity, and was sentenced to 14 days' imprisonment for resisting the police. Harrison was fined £4 or 14 days', and was sentenced to six weeks' for assault. The Magistrate said he considered assaulting a policeman was more serious than resisting one.
