"AN ELECTION EGG."
A HEAVY FINE. By Telegraph—Press Association. i • FiUILDING, November 19. Before Messrs Fred. Pirani and W. J. B. Trevvin (Mayor), this morning, Norman Woods pleaded guilty to throwing an egg into the crowd in front of the "Star" office on Tuesday night. Sergeant Bowden asked for a severe penalty, as the clothes of several people were spoiled. The Bench inflicted the highest penalty—£s fine, or imprisonment for one month—and described the act as filthy and loathsome. It was, they said, surprising how nny grown man could commit such a filthy act, which had such disgusting results on people standing >-ound. It. was an organised act, as the accused when caught had two eggs in his pocket. The Bench was sorry the maximum penalty was not £SO, which would not be too high for such conduct. Accused, a man about 23 years of age, paid the fine.
