ROGUE'S RECKLESS RECORD.

Eighty-one " Priors."

Margaret Webster has a pretty fair lead m the race for the Criminal Stages m Christchurch. She was charged vPith being an incorrigible rogue and vagabond t'other day, and when pleading guUty acknowledged that she might have 81 previous convictions for various offences. She had knocked off counting them long ago herself. Margaret doesn't look capable of qualifying for conviction to any great -extent m the future, .because she is old and So shaky that the venerable prisoner's box creaked m its foundations when Margaret's trembling form leant up against it. "The longer time she is removed from the streets the better it Will be for herself," said Sub-Inspector McGrath, and Mag., who had been found by hi,sit on the premises erf an extremely respectable resident, was sent into obscurity for the space of eighteen mouths by Beak BailcV.'
