A Warning to EggZThrowers
(Per United Pre«s Ass iciation). FEILDING, November 19
Before Messrs Fred Pirani and W. J. B. Frew in (Mayor) this morning, Norman Woods pleaded guilty to throwing an egg into the crowd in front of the Star office on Tuesday night. Sergeant Bowden asked for a severe penalty, as several people had their clothes spoilt. The Bench inflicted the highest penalty, ,£5 or one month, and described the act as filthy and loathsome. It was surprising how any grown man could commit such a filthy act, which had such a disgusting result on people standing round. It was an organised act, as accused, when caught, had two eggs in his picket. The Bench was sorry the maximum penalty was not ,£SO, which would not be too high for such conduct. The accused is a man of about 24. The fine w&a paid.
