ABUSIVE LANGUAGE
PATEA MAORI IN GROCER’S SHOP. Charged with using obscene language and with wilfully damaging goods, the property of Cut Rate Providers, to the value of £l, Hira Marino was fined £5, in default one month’s imprisonment, on the first charge, and £l, with costs 10s, in default a fortnight’s imprisonment, on the second by Messrs. E. F. Hemingway and A. T. Christensen, justices of the peace, in the Patea Court on Friday. He was also ordered to make restitution of the damaged goods. I Constable W. Kelly said Marino walked into a shop and demanded the goods. As he had no money the request was refused. Later he returned and, saying he had paid for the goods, imperatively demanded the supplies. Using abusive language, he picked up a parcel on the counter and threw it at the grocer, breaking a bottle of kerosene.
