WANGANUI RIOT.
SUPREME COURT CASE. STRICTURES FROM THE BENCH' [BY TELEGRAPH. OWX CORRESPONDENT.] v Wangavci, Tuesday. At the Supreme Court to-day His Honor, addressing the jury, said the only case that might cause trouble was the charge | of unlawful assembly against four persons. After explaining "unlawful assembly," His Honor said the occasion was one where hatred of members of the German race which was not surprising when events in Europe were remembered— been given vent to by means of a demonstration against a person, a, naturalised German. There was really cause to be indignant with the race, but that did not justify the disturbance against a naturalised German who had for manv yeara lived in Wanganui. Although the German race, by any means in its power, was endeavouring to overcome the British race, there were many thousands of Germans who had received the benefits and blessings of British rule who were not in sympathy with their compatriots' methods of warfare. This was, he said, the first case of its kind in his experience.
