TRIED TO SMASH WINDOW
Man Objects to Going into Relief Camp.
(Special to the •‘Star.’ ) AUCKLAND, November 3.
The admission that he intended to smash windows in a Queen Street establishment on Tuesday night as a protest to being ordered into a relief camp was made by Norman James Dudson, aged thirty-six, a labourer, who was charged with being disorderly while drunk.
A constable said that Dudson was throwing sods of clay at shop windows. “ What did you do that for? ” asked the Magistrate. Dudson: I meant to smash windows as a protest as I was yesterday ordered to camp. I got a job last week, and I am unfit for camp: yet I was told yesterday that I would have to go to camp. The accused was fined £2.
