“BREAK THE LAW.”
INCITING TO VIOLENCE By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, July 21. In the Magistrate’s Court to-day, William Parker, one of the speakers at an unemployment meeting in Post Office Square on July 5, was sentenced to a month’s imprisonment on a charge of inciting to violence by using the following or similar words: “They tell us we must not break the law, but, as long as the law remains as it is, I say break it.” Parker, who pleaded guilty, was fined for a breach of the peace during the 1913 strike. He was ordered to find sureties or go to gaol for six months fon inciting to assault the police, and was sentenced to six months by the Supreme Court for wilful damage. In January, 1917 he was sent to gaol for twelve months for seditious utterances, and in April, 1919, was sentenced to a similar term for publishing seditious matter.
