DISLOYAL SPEECH.
EXEMPLARY PUNISHMENT. By Telegraph.—P*nss Association. Wellington, January 12. At the Magistrate's Court Maurice Hope was lined £5 for making a disloyal statement regarding the war to some returned soldiers in a hotel tar. The remarks led to a quarrel, wherein Hope struck the soldier, whose comrades chased him. The Magistrate remarked that the case was not one for imprisonment. Defendant was probably under the influence of liquor when the remarks were made. William H'arker was charged with a breach of the city by-law by addressing an anti-conscription meeting in the street, and was fined £lO. He declared that he would not pay, and was sentenced to two months' hard labor. A similai penalty was imposed in the case of John Loughnan on a like charge. John Patrick Hea was lined £-10, and Gerald Dee, having promised not to speak in future, was ordered to come up for sentence when .'ailed upon.
