BROTHERS QUARREL
BOUND OVER BY COURT. (By Telegraph—Per Press Association.) AUCKLAND, December 6. The very well known brothers, Campbell and Hallyburton Johnstone, were the principals in the Police Court today when Campbell Johnstone proceeded against his brother and asked the magistrate to order him to find sureties to keep the peace. Campbell alleged his brother had, within the past six months at Avondale, exhibited offensive writings on envelopes of letters addressed to him, care of various local bodies, of which he was a member. The envelopes were addressed to him as follows:—“Campbell Johnston, the man who pleads statute of limitations, care of Auckland Harbour care of Raglan County Council, and care of Waikato Hospital Board.” Complainant declared such conduct on defendant’s part was likely to cause further annoyance and perhaps a breach of the peace, as Campbell is actually a member of the local bodies referred to.
After submissions by the respective counsel that for Hallyburton undertook to stop such writings in future, and the magistrate then bound the defendant over in the sum of £lO that no further annoying letters would be addressed to his brother.
