THE ARMY TROUBLES.
(by telegraph). Blenheim, To-day.
To day the charge against a member of the Salvation A tiny, for drum beating, resulted in a conviction, but the offender was dismissed under the 87th section of the Police Offences Act. The presiding Magistrate said there was no analogy between a drum and the church bel s, as the latter would be a nuisance if carried round the streets and rung out of their place.— In reference to selling War Cry's on Sunday, the Magistrate said he considered the case trifling and trumpery, though he was clear that the Army had no right morally or legally to sell War Cry’s on Sundays, and that, if they had any regard for the sanctity of the Sabbath, they would give up the practice.
