The sequel to a piece of rough play that took placo in a well-known city institution a few days ago is likely to be hoard in the City Police Court next month, when the proceedings will be doubt be watched with considerable interest (says the “Otago Daily Times”). It appears that a group of young men one evening conceived the idea that one of their number who is not usually taken very seriously, should have “the order of the bath” conferred upon him. They accordingly seized him and dragged him to the bathroom, removed his clothing, and put him under. The joke was entirely on one side until the other morning half-a-dozen young men who had been associated with the daring exploit were surprised to receive blue notices from the police informing thorn of the time and place at which they would appear before a Magistrate to answer a charge of assault. Further laughter on the subject has been suspended until it isjseen which party will be awarded the right to laugh last. Ladies Costumes just opened out £5 10s upwards..
