John Arnold<p>_The Evening Post_, 27 March 1924:<br> DRUNK IN A MOTOR-CAR</p><p> (BY TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.)<br> CHRISTCHURCH, 26th March.<br> William <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Hayes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hayes</span></a>, a farmer of West Melton, was charged before Mr. Cruickshank, S.M., with having been found in a state of intoxication while in charge of a motor-car. After hearing evidence the Magistrate said: “One has to make an example of a man like this. He is quite a decent man, but he had a glass of beer. After that it’s much easier to accept another, and gradually he got five beers into him.”<br> The sub-inspector: “There’s nothing suggested against his character.”<br> The Magistrate: “He is fined £5 [ca. $630 today], and disqualified from obtaining a driver’s license [sic] for six months from to-day. Six months is not a very long time, and he will have to use a <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/buggy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>buggy</span></a> or something when he comes in.”<br><a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250327.2.146" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/news</span><span class="invisible">papers/EP19250327.2.146</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OnThisDay</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OTD</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PapersPast</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/LawCourts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LawCourts</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/DrinkDriving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DrinkDriving</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/WestMelton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WestMelton</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Christchurch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Christchurch</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NewZealand</span></a></p>

John Arnold<p>_The Evening Post_, 26 March 1924:<br> BURGLAR CAPTURED<br> EXCITING CHRISTCHURCH INCIDENT<br> A BOLD BID FOR LIBERTY<br> …<br> CHRISTCHURCH, 25th March.<br> Masked by a silken scarf Whitefoord Jukes <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Curtis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Curtis</span></a>, aged 17 years, was arrested while crouching behind a counter in the premises of the New Zealand Farmers’ Co-operative Association of Canterbury, Ltd., at 3.30 a.m. to-day. Curtis, though handcuffed, made a great bid for his liberty, but was recaptured after a splendid break, which traversed several blocks and ended at the back of the municipal chambers. It was found, eventually, that Curtis was arrested on his third job, as the information he gave to the police led to the recovery of a large quantity of stolen property, associating him with the operations at two other business premises.<br>[Details of his capture, escape and recapture are recounted].<br> … Eventually Curtis was cornered after a long chase, and even then he unsuccessfully endeavoured to break away again.

John Arnold<p>_The Evening Post_, 25 March 1924:<br> HEAVY CATCHES OF FISH<br> While the question of a regular and plentiful supply of fish is engaging attention of scientific and commercial men, <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Wellington" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Wellington</span></a> harbour as a fishing ground furnishes food for thought. On Tuesday last a party of three, fishing from a small boat, landed a catch weighing approximately 2 cwt. [ca. 100kg]. Last Saturday the same party, augmented by three additional fishermen, landed a great haul. The catch for the two days was 70 moki, 220 terakihi, and several fine schnapper [snapper], all caught on hand lines. The weight of the total catch was quite 5½ cwt. [280kg]. In the local market it would have realised a good round sum. The party distributed its catch to friends, after satisfying its own needs. Other amateur parties are also reporting large catches. These large hauls are being taken over the ground now being dredged. The buckets stirring up the bottom evidently release large supplies of feed, attracting moki, schnapper [snapper], and other fish. Usually good as the fishing in the harbour may now be, it is not generally so abundant as in former years.<br><a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250325.2.142" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/news</span><span class="invisible">papers/EP19250325.2.142</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OnThisDay</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OTD</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PapersPast</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Fishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fishing</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Angling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Angling</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/WellingtonHarbour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WellingtonHarbour</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NewZealand</span></a></p>

Canvas <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/canoes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>canoes</span></a> used to be much in evidence, both on the river and harbour, and were nearly all constructed by the boys themselves, some of them exhibiting great skill, both in design and workmanship, and when the tides were high the fleet used to leave its rendezvous—the river—and adventure on the harbour, and in some cases out on the open bay. Various were the means of propulsion… the mosquito fleet would be found in units all over the harbour bobbing on the waves, and, to the astonishment of the boat and yachtsmen frequently passing them…. Seldom, if ever, was an accident reported, and as the tide receded the fleet again reassembled in the river.… this summer… the graceful canoe seems to be superseded by a multitude of tiny craft of a type similah [sic] to a wharf construction punt.… Our Iron Duke Sea Scouts, who recently won Lord Jellicoe’s trident, were, no doubt, recruited from this perennial band of adventurers.<br><a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250324.2.108" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/news</span><span class="invisible">papers/EP19250324.2.108</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OnThisDay</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OTD</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PapersPast</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Recreation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Recreation</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Pastimes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Pastimes</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Boys" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Boys</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Nelson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Nelson</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NewZealand</span></a></p>
