LOST HIS TEMPER

PAINTER’S SATURDAY NIGHT ABUSED WIFE IN SHOP On Saturday evening a painter, Henry Bresano, broke his prohibition order and used objectionable language to bis wife in her shop in Onehunga. He pleaded guilty to both charges in the Onehunga Police Court this morning. Sergeant Cruickshank told the court that Bresano had only recently come to live in Onehunga. He had done no work for some months, and his wife had opened a shop for the support of herself and live children, and was doing well. At six o’clock on Saturday evening Bresano came into the shop drunk, abused his wife, and interfered with her customers. On the advice of the police, he went home. He returned again, however, at 10 p.m., and made another scene, using the language complained, of. Mrs. Bresano could do good business if left alone. Defendant admitted having lost his temper, and regretted that he had done wrong. The justices, Messrs. J. EL Green and |F. C. Soar, convicted him on the charge of obscene language, and ordered him to come up for sentence if called upon within 12 months. | On the charge of breaking his proj hibition order he was remanded for hearing before a magistrate.
