DRUNKENNESS IN CHRISTCHURCH.
By Telegraph—Press Association. I CHRfSTCHURCH, Jamjdary 3, ( There were the usual crop of New Year drunkards in court to-day. One case was somewhat interesting. A man who had been fined in his absence last. March for using obscene language was arrested on his return to Christchurch for the holidays, and was fined 40s. Another man was in August convicted on a charge of obtaining board and lodging by false j pretences and sent to gaol for six I months, but the warrant was sus-, pended on condition that he went to the Salvation Army Home. However the holidays proved too much of a temptation, and he broke out and 3oined the throng. The migistrate declined to give him another chance, and sent him to gaol for six months. Another man, convicted and discharged, went home drunk on New Year's Eve and shortly afterwards his house was burnt to the ground. "
