The Ethics of Dancing.

We fear It would not do for some of the gentleman who expressed their views on dancinj? at the 'iroopers' reception me; ting .on Wednesday fevering to go to Cook Islands to judge from the following : Thus the lot Karanga of 26th M»y, published at iinrotßoga : -** Seme twenty live young men of Arorsngi were before the Arlklb Court at; Arerangi on, Friday ! last in answer to a charge of' atwensing themselves on Monday evening from the dancing practice. It appeared from the evidence that) a complimentary Ute had been tendered to Mr Taylor, of the Union >5 3. Company, on Monday, and ia conse quence the usual dancing practice ii*d nob taken place. In the middle of the Ute, which was being held, at a Tamari s house the police walked in am! took tbe nami sof aIJ the young men. Mr Blame, solicitor, appeared on behalf of the accused, and informed the Court that 'there was no law to support the charge, and that the police had no right to enter another man's property unless properly authorised or admitted. The Judge upheld this view of the matter, and dis charged the accused, at the same time pointing out that it would always be advisable to have permission of the pro* per authorities before absentir.g them' elves again. The jadge also warned the police that they should do nothing illegalj thab doing Illegal acts would only lead to trouble in the Higher Court.
