EXTRAORDINARY SCENE IN COURT.
* (BY TJSLKGRAPIt. —PRESS ASSOCIATION'). WEU.INfJTON, Friday. To-day when Agnew and liU wife were charged with using insulting and provoking language to the Premier, the latter, who could scarcely be heard above the lamentations of the female accused, wished the Court to understand that he had nothing to do with Agnew's c;i*e, which had been liberally dealt with by Parliament before he assumed office. Ho had no wish to punish these people, but they were becoming such a nuisance that he found it impossible to leave his house without being followed and insulted by them, and each day they were becoming more violent and threatening in their attilude. The Court held that the charge was proved, and ordered the accused to find sureties to keep the peace for six months, each in £00, and two sureties of £25. Agnew veiled to Sir Henry Atkinson and the KM., "I'll not find security, and I hope you'll both be in hell before I come out." Mrs Agnew declared she would go to gaol, and work for nothing for the Government who had robbed them.
