Dear Sir,

You may have heard of the outcome of the Mt. John 'trials' in Timaru last week. I was fined $60 for obscene language (including solicitor's fee and costs), and placed on 1 year's probation for inciting disorder. Tony Mansfield was fined a total of $150 for 'inciting obscene language' and two charges of 'obscene language' (again including solicitor's fee and costs.) When lawyer's fees for the defence are included, we'll have to raise about $350 between us - I'd be grateful if you could publish an appeal for money. I understand that Gavin Thompson and Co. have started an appeal. All donations or letters of abuse should be sent to either Tony or myself at the above address.

Fraternally,

Brian O'Brien.
