STAND-UP FIGHT

DANCER TAKES OFFENCE ONEHONGA POLICE COURT "While jazzing at the fair in .Jellicoe Park on Saturday evening, Mervyn May felt aggrieved at a remark passed by an onlooker outside the dancing ring. His resentment of the comment led to a stand-up fight, which cost him £2, in default 10 days’ imprisonment, at the Police Court at Onehunga this morning. For speeding up Queen Street, On>S hunga, on a motor-cycle with two ladies-'—one of whom had her arm around his neck—McDonald Smith, aged 17, was fined £1 and costs. F. Dally, an employe© of the Mount Roskill Hoad Board, pleaded not guilty to speeding across the intersection of streets at Onehunga, stating that at the time mentioned by the traffic inspector the board’s building- inspector had the car in another part of the district. The building inspector to the board, H. L. Jessop, denied this, and said he was on his way from Auckland to Mt. Roskill in a bus at the time stated. “One of you is telling an untruth,” said the magistrate, as he fined Dally £1 10s and costs. It cost Thomas Holt 10s and costs for hawking fish without a licence, and Walter Craig had to pay 5s and costs for allowing his horse to stand on the footpath in Church Street.
