PRIVATE BOXING BOUT
ONE DEFEATS THREE MAGISTRATE HAS FINAL WORD From Our Own Correspondent HAMILTON, Today. There were lively doings in the quiet railway suburb of Frankton on a recent evening, when four young men held a boxing tournament to which the public had not been invited, and three of the youths. Patrick Hynes, Arthur Johnstone and Thomas Shaw, were fined 40s and costs for fighting in a public place. In the Police Court today it was stated that Hynes and Shaw were arguing outside the Frankton Theatre. When warned by the police they retired to the railway sheds and engaged in a bout of fisticuffs. Warned again they repaired to Bandon Street, where Hynes "took on” three of the others successfully. One of the fighters was indisposed for several days. Shaw said Hynes had “put in the boot” and was responsible for the trouble. The magistrate said he thought Hynes was the aggressor, but the others were also blame.
