A THEATRE CASE.
ALTERATIONS MADE WITHOUT PERMISSION.
Per Press Association, DUNEDIN, last night.
At the Magistrate's Court this morning, Perry Herman was lined two pounds and costs for having permitted structural alterations in the Theatre Royal without the ‘sanction of the City Council. Mr Fisher, for the Council, said that when the Nellie Stewart Company was at the. theatre the management; lifted the hack harriers between the pit and staffs, with a view to increasing the room in the stalls. The result was that the door and passage of the theatre were blocked up and rendered useless to the public as a means of ingress and egress, and the pit was so crowded as to make it impossible for the police to get in and preserve order in case of accident.. The alteration was evidently made to increase the takings at tiie theatre.
