DRUNKEN FIREMAN.
♦ FOUR OFFICERS ASSAULTED. (PRESS A3BOCIATIOIT TELBGBAH.) WELLINGTON, November 19. Following a spree ' ashore, Charles Henry Bowyer, a fireman, aged 21, returned to the oversea steamer Mania very drunk, and assaulted an apprentice and the second officer. Thereafter he appears to have run amok generally and assaulted four officers in turn and anyone else in uniform he found about the decks. He wrecked the galley. When he was charged to-day a penalty was asked for that would preclude his return to the ship, where he is no longer wanted. Mr Salmon, S.M., was deaf to counsel's plea. He said the man belonged to the Home Country and might bo stranded. He considered he should discountenance defiance of the officers, and sentenced Bowyer to six weeks' gaol.
