MAGISTRATE’S COURT.
CHRISTCHURCH. (Before Mr H. Y. Widdowson, S.M.) DRUNKENNESS. Two statutory first offenders were each fined 10s, in default twenty-four hours' imprisonment. SUPPRESSED. A traveller, aged thirty-eight, whose name was suppressed, was remanded to appear on Tuesday on a charge of having driven a motor-car while in a state of intoxication. Mr Tracy, who appeared for the accused, suggested that the name be suppressed until the facts of the case were heard. The Magistrate agreed with this. THROWING MISSILES. A boy, aged sixteen, and another, aged eighteen, pleaded guilty to charges of throwing missiles at a moving tram. The Magistrate told them they had better go to night school. He ordered them to come tip for sentence any time within six months. Their names were suppressed. UNREGISTERED FIREARM. (Before Mr H. Y. Widdowson, S.M.) Charles Frederick Griffen, seventeen years of age, received a shock when he was told that he was liable to be fined £SO for having an unregistered firearm. He was fined 10s. “And see that it comes out of your pocket-money, not out of your mother’s money,” the Magistrate said.
