THE GRAMOPHONE “NOISE.”
HAMILTON, February 28. The noise of a gramophone in a shop near the courthouse disturbed the proceedings in the Supreme Court to-day. Mr Justice Blair said: “Get somebody to slip over -and-stop that noise.” A constable left and returned, but the noise persisted. The sergeant of police made his way over the road. With his reappearance a new record was put on. Two sergeants then saw the music seller, but even their persuasion failed to effect a cessation of the music.
Finally, his Honor instructed the sergeant in charge that if the gramophone was still playing in the afternoon to arrest. the culprit and bring him before the court. His Honor would then deal with him.
The hint was sufficient, and peace reigned.
