DISTURBED A DANCE
CITY YOUTHS FINED. AUCKLAND, January 20. George Edward Olson, aged eighteen years, was charged in the Police Court with obstructing a constable in the execution of his duty. Alfred Henry Baiker, alias George Roberts, aged nineteen years, was charged with being drunk and with using insulting language. The accused youths went out from town and caused a disturbance at a .New Lynn dance when the local lads j resented their action in trying to force their way in. The appearance of a con-stable-prevented the intruders from being, very roughly handled. Constable Boag said the accused were full of beer and looking for fight. Apparently they were known in their own district and went to other parts. A lot of these youths drove in motoroars to outside districts and caused trouble. “May; we have our names suppressed?” asked Barker. “Certhiiilv not,” replied the Magistrate, Mr Hunt. “If I had my way
] would advertise your names in every dance hall in Auckland.” Each was fined £5 .with tlie alternative of fourteen days’ .imprisonment.
