Summary

Three Chinese were charged before Mr. J. R. Wood, at the Police Court his morning, with creating a disturbance at the Tai Ping Theatre. Inspector O' Sullivan said the three men were sitting in seats under the gallery, for which they had paid, and an employee went round to collect two cents for the use of mats they had been supplied with, whereupon the first defendant shouted 'Strike him!' The others took up the cry and there was a disturbance. A witness said the men did not actually strike him, but they threatened to do so. The men were cautioned and discharged.
