A second charge of casting offensive matter on to the footpath within view of passers-by was also preferred. Defendant pleaded guilty. Constable McClinchy said that defendant had been drinking all day and was very drunk when arrested. He. was a single man, living at Karangahake, and had never been in trouble before.

He would be convicted and discharged on the first clmrge, and convicted and fined £1 on the second, in default 24 hours’ imprisonment.
