SEQUEL TO EXPLOSION
MAN BEFORE COURT (Per Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, this day.

The defendant pleaded guilty. As the police did not press for a penalty, lie was convicted and discharged. The defendant said he had been on contract work in the country. Some explosives were left over, and lie brought them home for safety. His son found them during his absence.
