EX-DETECTIVE’S PLEA.
OBJECTION TO MAGISTRATE. RE-HEARING SOUGHT. DUNEDIN, April 22. John .Frederick Hammerley, ex-detec-tive, made application in the Police Court this afternoon for the re-hearing of a case in which he was convicted a fortnight ago of disorderly behaviour. In his affidavit he set out, among other things, that he objected to Mr. Bundle, S.M., taking the case, but had no objection to Mr. Dixon, S.M., taking it, as he was of the opinion that Mr Bundle showed antagonism and hostility towards him. In ordering the affidavit to be struck off the file, Mr. Bundle said: "You may consider yojirself fortunate that you are not charged with contempt of Court on this affidavit.” Hammerley: "I have already been charged with that at your dictation, and served forty-eight hours at your command. ’ ’
The application was adjourned till May 6.—(P.A.)
