FISHING WITH GELIGNITE.
CONVICTION AT WAIHI.
[BY . TELEGRAPH. —OWN CORRESPONDENT.] WAIHI. Tuesday. A sequel to the recent accident at Waihi beach, whereby F. Quintal, a fisherman, and H. Pipe, were seriously injured in a boat by an explosion of gelignite, the former having his right hand blown off, transpired in the Magistrate's Court to-day, when charges of procuring explosives without a license and having the same unlawfully in possession, also using gelignite to blow up fish, were heard. Defendants pleaded not guilty. Pipe submitted that he was the guest of Quintal, and was unaware that there was gelignite in the boat when leaving the snore.
Quintal was fined £5 with costs on the charge of using gelignite to destroy fish, and ordered to pay costs on the other two charges.. The informations against Pipe were dismissed.
