DISLOYAL SENTIMENTS.
A MAN FINED. A man, Charles Flowerday, was fined in default two months’ imprisonment, at Auckland on Saturday, for making a statement at a boarding-house dinner table indicating disloyalty. The evidence showed, when a woman at the table remarked she had a brother in camp, Flowerday expressed the hope that all the British would get shot. He said he would rather fight for the Germans any day than the British, because of the dirty tricks the British had played. It seemed something had been said to defendant about why he had not enlisted, which caused him to be irritable, but there was evidence that he bad several times previously expressed similar sentiments, and that his general grudge seemed to be connected with the Wa'hi strike. The Magistrate stated at a time like this sentiments calculated to provoke the antagonism of class against class must be discountenanced. If the defendant’s remarks had been made in a public place he would have been sent to gaol.
