LABOR LEADERS IN COURT.
CHARGE OF SEDITION FAILS. By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, May 6. Patrick Hodgkins Hickey and John Glover appeared ..before Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M., this morning, charged with having committed breaches of the war regulations by publishing and selling respectively the document “The Irish Tragedy and Scotland’s Disgrace,” which, according to the Crown, expressed a seditious intention, contrary to war regulation No, 4. The magistrate dismissed the charges. He said the document had a seditious intention in Great Britain, but the question for him to decide was whether it might encourage lawlessness or violence in New Zealand and whether it had a seditious tendency. In this case he was not satisfied that the document was within the section of the Act, and would therefore dismiss the information.
