COLLECTING DEBTS WITH A REVOLVER.
AN AUCKLAND CASE. Press Association. AUCKLAND, last night. Some sensation was caused in Queen-streei, on Saturday evening by the sudden discovery that a man named Henry Bloustein was behaving in a highly dangerous manner with what was believed to be p. loaded revolver. Several bystanders quickly closed with’ him, ami he was placed in a cab and removed to the lock-up. He appeared at the Police Court this morning, charged with threatening to shoot Solomon Bloustein. His counsel asked for a remand until Wednesday. The two men, accused and complainant, were brothers and partners, and little passages of arms ware always passing between them. This was merely one of many. “That is so,” replied Solomon; “but nothing so serious as this. 1 don’t want to press the charge, but I really must appeal to your Worship for some restraint to be put upon him, otherwise I shall not be safe.” “It is just a novel way of debtcollecting,” remarked Mr. Lundon. “There is a matter of £lO between the two brothers, complainant being the borrower and my client the lender. He thought perhaps, that an . empty revolver mi"lit facilitate repayment.” The adjournment was granted.
