A respectable-looking young man was convicted <d being; disorderly when drunk. On the morning of September 25, ten first offenders, and on September 25, six first offenders, including an elderly and well-dressed woman, were convicted. Two young men were charged with behaving in a violent and offensive manner in a railway carriage. The guard of the train deposed that the late train on Saturday nights had heroine known as the. “drunks train, and there were rows: aboard it every Saturday night.

Vet, even with this limitation, what a record the a 1 >ove reports constitute of BRUTALISATION 1 —Advt.

BRUTALISATION ! The Liquor Party have complained that the Prohibitionists, by implication, have steadily and determinedly attempted to “brutalise the liquor traffic. The origin of this plaint is the. fact that the Home .journal, by the re-publication of some of the proceedings at the Police Court, has sueoossfulfy called public attention to j tin- degrading, debasing, and destroy- | lag work of the liquor traffic. That | traffic is really the most “brutali«i nig” of all the evil agencies .in our : city, as wijl he seen from The following record of convictions of men and women at the Auckland Police Court duiing the month of September:Drunk and Disorderly , . 27 Theft while Drunk '. . 5 i Obscene Language while Drunk 5 Indecency while Drunk . . 4 The following are particulars of tome of the worst cases of “brutalisation” : Two men, surrounded by about 20 Other persons, were found by • the police fighting in Newmarket. Drink was the cause of the brawl. Three respectably-dressed young men were convicted of theft, of vegetables from a. Chinaman. The sub. inspector stated that they were certainly the worse for drink. The affair was a drunken freak. A man was charged with disobeying orders for the payment, of maintenance charges. His wife stated that drink was the cause of all the trouble. He had come home at 4 o clock on the morning in question and knocked her about in a shocking way. A Maori created a disturbance in Queen street. “You know you must expect to.get into trouble if you let the 'waipiro” get yon,” said the magistrate. A first offender went into a restaurant, made a disturbance, and smashed furniture. In two of the wharf pillaging cases, it was alleged that drink was contributory to the crime of which the men were convicted. A man was convicted of assaulting a barman and using obscene language. Counsel for the defence said that the facts were admitted, but the man was not used to drink, and ho would never have behaved so foolishly if he had not had the drink; neither was he addicted to bad language. In the maintenance cases before the S.M. Court on September 8, the Bench remarked to one man: "So you are still drinking;” to another, “Do you drink?” to a third, “And what about the drink?” In another case, the Bench said that the defendant had been drinking a good deal, and it would be a proper thing to send him to Rotoroa. “He would he better there,” said the sergeant. "He lias been coining here for the last three years; a useless case. If he goes to the island he can get a chance to pul) himself together,” addl'd tin* magistrate. In yet another maintenance ease, a woman applied for an order on the grounds of her husband's cruelty. The man admitted that he did not rare twopence for his wife, and that he hail struck her and sworn at her. In answer to the usual question about drink, be said he was a moderate drinker, hut .sometimes went home a “little hit on.” .A man, sullering from tile aftereffects of drink, lay down on a verandah, and refused to mole. He resisted violently when arrested. A mail who started for town with .CIO to have “a glorious time," was *<> drunk that he did not know what lie sus doing when he stole a suit oi clothes from a shop.
