Larrikins Taught A Lesson

THE larrikin type of mind, whose chief delight is m causing annoyance to other people .is well exemplified 'by the behavior of Alexander . Woods and James Hutchinson, who 'were summoned at the Auckland Magistrate's Court for disturbing a religious; meeting. :\ Unfortunately, they are not alone m their conceited hooliganism, for \ matters became so bad during the Sunday evening services held at the • Strand Theatre* that the Help of a plain-clothes constable had to be ob- * tairied to detect and stop the interruptions. ■>. The constable gave evidence that he heard Woods and Hutchinson twice warned by ushers to desist from their deliberately loud conversation before he intervened himself. Woods had been fined before for a similar offence at Otahuhu. "You larrikins must be taught that you cannot have matters all your own w~ay," said Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M., and fined Woods £2, with 8/costs, default being fixed at seven days. Hutchinson was fined £1, with . the- same 1 costs/ and if he does not pay U P> he will go to Mt. Eden for three days.
