----- Original Message ----- From: Judy Weller To: Elaine Mattsen Sent: Monday, July 25, 2005 10:05 AM Subject: HB Herald, Tues. May 12th 1891 Death - BRABAZON - at the Napier Hospital, on Sunday, the 10th May, Rebecca, the beloved wife of John BRABAZON, of Ormondville, aged 41. The funeral will leave the Rechabite Hall, Ormondville, at 1 p.m. to-morrow (Wednesday). Friends will kindly accept this intimation. Yesterday morning John WARIN was charged at the R.M. Court with allowing cattle to stray on the public roads, and was fined 3s. Mr C.W. CATO, who for some time past has been assistant accountant at the Wellington branch of the Colonial Bank, is coming back again to Napier, as he has been promoted to the position of accountant of the branch of the Colonial Bank here. Mr CATO is expected to arrive in Napier this evening. Mr S.R. KENNEDY, the present accountant of the Napier branch, is transferred to Wellington, and will probably leave on Saturday. His place in musical and athletic circles will not readily be filled, as he has taken since his arrival in Napier an active part in the promotion of aquatics, other athletic sports, and musical matters. The bell-ringing case to which we have previously referred came on for hearing at the R.M. Court yesterday.....The information, which was laid under the Police Offences Act, set out that the defendant George ROBINSON, did wantonly and maliciously cause annoyance by ringing a bell......Mr LASCELLES contended that the practice complained of did not come within the Police Offences Act. His Worship upheld that view. He said that if there were any bye-law to restrain bell-ringing it would be a very proper one, but he was satisfied that this ringing of a bell in the pursuit of an ordinary avocation did not come under the "malicious and wanton" clause of the Police Offences Act. If the Corporation had no bye law restricting bell-ringing, they should make one, but he would have to dismiss the present information.
