Inspector Norwood prosecuted. Graeve did not appear, and Schultz pleaded guilty. The Magistrate (Mr. Young) said tho defendants had discharged fireworks or crackers and Chinese bombs. This was admitted, ami was quite clear from tho statement of the Inspector. These young men were not celebrating a German naval victory, nor wero they' heard using disloyal words. They were guilty of discharging firoworks - in the principal ! streets of Gore on Sunday, which made a noise that disturbed people. The action of the men was very indiscreet, seeing that they bore German nanus, and .under the special circumstances existing, to let off fireworks which; in Ihe Magistrate's opiuion, might have lead to a breach of the peace. Each defendant was | fined c£3, and Court costs.
