OBSTRUCTING TRAFFIC.
NEWS SHOWN IN A WINDOW. By Telegraph —Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. At the Magistrate’s Court to-day the police proceeded against the proprietary of the Evening Post on a charge of obstructing the traffic in Willis Street as a result of pasting up cricket and other results in the front window of the newspaper office. Counsel for the defendants pointed out that the latter’s act was really a public service, and the notification of results was of no benefit to the defendants. Evidence was given by the Mayor of Wellington and the chairman of the Rugby Union that they frequently requested the use of the Evening Post window for announcements of public interest. Agreeing with counsel for the defendants, the magistrate (Mr. Hunt) said he did not think the case was one for a conviction, and dismissed the information.
