A DEGRADING SPECTACLE.
FIGHTING WHILE HOME
BURNS
Gisborne, October 17
At half-past ten o’clock to-night a fire broke out in a four-roomed cottage in Grey Street, owned by the Hon. Captain Tucker, and occupied by a well-known character named Joseph Geddes, and his wife.
When the fire was discovered, Geddes and his wife, oblivious to their danger, were engaged m a drunken quarrel inside, with the doors locked.
A passer-by burst in the door, and dragged the occupants to the road, where they continued fighting until both were arrested.
The house and all its contents were completely destroyed.
