AN AUCKLAND SENSATION

Per Press Association.

Auckland, July 8,

Some sensation was caused in Queen street on Saturday evening by the sudden discovery that a man named H. Bloustein was behaving in a highly dangerous manner with what was believed to be a loaded revolver. Several bystanders quickly closed with him, and ho was placed in a cab and removed to the lockup. He appeared at the Police Oour,t this morning, charged with threatening to shoot Solomon Bloustein. His counsel asked for a remand until Wednesday. The men, accused and complainant, were brothers and partners, and little passages of arms were always passing" bewteeu them. This was merely one of many. “That is so,” replied Solomon, “but nothing so serious as this. I don’t want to press the charge, but I really must appeal to your Worshipfor some restraint being put upon him. Otherwise I shall not be safe. ”

‘lt is just a novel way of debt collecting,” remarked Mr Luuden.

“ There is a matter of £lO between the two brothers, complainant being the borrower, and my client the lender. He thought that perhaps an empty revolver might facilitate repayment. ” An adjournment was granted.
