FINED FOR FIGHTING
BOUT IN VICTORIA STREET Providing of course that the other fellow doesn’t go to hospital, there is no objection to a friendly bout of fisticuffs in a secluded corner, where there is no one to interfere. But when a man indulges his yearning for a fight in a place like Victoria Street, in full view of the public gaze, he is simply asking .for trouble. Robert Henry Johnston was settling an argument in this old-fashioned way on Saturday when Constable Du Temple came along. Johnstone’s opponent thought discretion the better part of valour and merged into the, landscape. In the Police Court this morning the fight cost Johnston £l, with three days in gaol as the alternative.
