STRANGE BEHAVIOUR.
NEW ARRIVAL'S LAPSE. WARNING FROM MAGISTRATE. [BY TELEGRAPH.—OWN CORRESPONDENT.! DUNEDIN, Tuesday. The extraordinary behaviour of a young man in the Octagon yesterday caused his appearance before Mr. J. R. Bartholomew, S.M., in the Police Court this morning, when he was charged with disorderly conduct while drunk. His name was Robert Brownlie. He came from Glasgow only a week ago and described himself as an engineer. " This is a sorry case," said SeniorSergeant Quartermain, "He seems rather a decent chap, but in the Octagon yesterday he behaved in a rather extraordinary manner. He pulled women's dresses and even went so far as to spit on one woman, whereupon she went across to the Town Hall and complained. "He was bailed out in the sum of £5 and had £SB in his possession," tlio sergeant proceeded. " I had a talk wilTi him and I feel rather sorry for him." In reply to the magistrate accused said he intended to slay in the Dominion. The magistrate, in warning Brownlie that he could be sent to gaol for this offence, inflicted a fine of £5, in default 14 days' imprisonment.
