• PUSHED OUT BY HIS SOI.. By Telegraph.—Press A3 an.—Copyright. , Auckland, May 29. A domestic trouble way ventilated in the Police Court, when Charles Edward Dumper, of Devonport, proceeded against his son, Ernest Albert Dumper, for assault. "the complainant, who was in the garb of a clergyman, said he called at a house in Devonport to sell tea, when his son appeared and took his hat off and threw it into the yard. "I told him he was a naughty boy," the witness said. The magistrate: What age 13 he?— Twenty-seven. The witness added, between sobs, that he was grieved to relate that his son then pushed him and he fell down. Defendant, in evidence, stated that lie lived with his mother, who recently obtained a divorce from the complainant. On May 10 his father came to the house and refUF.ed to leave. Witness then took him to the gate, but did not kick him clown. "He cried like a school child, just as he did just now," witness added. Corroborative evidence was given by defendant's sister. She said her father had made himself a great nuisance by annoying the women of the family. Although dressed as a minister, he was riot one. Complainant: You know I was at the house for the purpose of selling tea. — No, you were not. "Did I not otTer you a bunch of violets one mailing?"—" Yes, and I refined them." Complainant (again resorting to tears): You broke my heart. The magistrate dismissed the case.
