FRIGHTENING A CHILD.
Dunedin, March 13. D. E. Eunson, manager of the Moinington Tram Company, and Eobert Loudon, an employe, were fined for ill-treating a child. The child had been playing about the tramcars 3> and the defendants had placed it in a cupboard. The parents swore that the child had been nervous ever since, and given to screaming in its sleep. An attempt was made to show that the action had been brought because there was a quarrel between the local policeman, whose child it was, and the manager, but the Magistrate said he did not think this was bo, He admitted that children and larrikins must he a source of great j annoyance to the Tram Company. He i thought if the law allowed it, and had
the boy not been of such a nervous temperament, not much barm would have been done, as there was nothing brutal about it; but it was contrary to law, aud he fined Loudon Is and Eunaon ss, with costs £3.
