PRINTER FINED
ISSUE OF CIRCULAR (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. An echo of the recent seamen's dispute was heard in court to-day when Denis Driscoll, a printer, was fined £lO tor printing a paper lor publication without his name and address. Chief-Detectlve Ward said the case' arose out of the formation of a new seamen's union. The defendant had published a circular purporting to have been issued by W. T. Young, leader of one section of the seamen, but Young denied authorising it and said it had been published to discredit him in the eyes of some of the men. The police had been unable to find out who authorised the circular. The defence was that the imprint had been cut off during trimming and that when a proof was sent out for collection the draft copy had been lost.
