RESIDENT MAGISTRATE'S COURT
THIS DAY. (Before W. Eraser, Esq., R.M.) BREACH OH THE PEACE. Etna Aoru and Kia Tepora (two Maori women) were charged with being guilty of using dLorderly and threatening language in a public place, to wit, Pollen street, Thames, whereby a breach of the peace may tave been occasioned. Defendants pleaded guilty. Mr Wilkinson acted as interpreter. Mr Dodd appeared for the defendants, and said his two clients had had a dispute, but they had not had the slightest intention of committing a breach of the peace. Maoris naturally were a little more demonstrative than Europeans. They lad done no injury whatever to one another, and were now good friends. He hoped the Bench would deal leniently with the defendants. • His Worship said he would, make no difference between Maoris and Europeans but treat them alike. He would fine the q each 10s, and costs 6s 6d, or 48 hours'imprisonment. This was all the business.
