GISBORNE SHOP WRECKING.
♦ [Per Press Association*.] GISBORNE, January 2. James Blanco, for wilfully damaging a pano of glass in connection with Thursday night's raid on a German pork butcher's shop, was fined £3 and costs at the Police Court to-day. He was also charged with inciting othor persons to break and enter, and was fined £5 and oosts. Tho Magistrate said that the attack on inoffensive citizens was most cowardly, and certainly was not the conduct of Britishers. He had not for a moment thought that the men of Gisborne would have acted in this way, as he had always given the community credit for bettor sense. Proceedings against others are likely to follow.
