A disturbance, in which Arthur Clampett figured, came before the Police Court at Dunedin on Thursday, when the licensee of Court's Otago Hotel was charged with keeping open after hours and permitting a disturbance. The evidence was to the effect that Clampett was in the Hqtel at 4 a.m., when another party of three or four came in> Chaffing remarks caused Clampett to pull out a revolver and threaten: to shoot the others, and this led to a lot; of scuffling,^ which was only put an end to by the landlady and barmaid appearing on the scene. It was shown that the b,ar was not open, and that the night porter had been instructed to serye only, lodgers and travellers out of a small lot of liquor left in his charge, and that he had been specially warned not to let Clampett in, for disobeying which order he had been dismissed. The R.M. dismissed both charges.. ,
