More particularly does the ill luck overtake him who fills himself, and this was demonstrated on Tuesday last when the afternoon train arrived 2t Te Kuiti. The majority of the passengers occupying one particular car had been wor- '. shipping at the shrine of Bacchus, and three of the travellers struggled out on to the platform. They were so evi- ' dently incapable of taking care of themselves that Constable Matthew . provided them with a night's lodging in the lock-up. On Wednesday morning they appeared to answer the charge of drunkenness before Mr F. H. Sims, J J.P., and were fined 5s each for the > offence.
