POLICE COURT-

(Before Mr. J. W. Poynton, S.M.) DRUNK IN CHARGE OF t,ORRY. In a case where a jiotor lorry' ran into and slightly damaged a safety-zone' in Pitt Street yesterday, it was admitted by Mr. Clark, who appeared for the accused, that the man was drunk. Counsel said it was a first offence and the man would lose his job. Under the cir- i cumstances he asked that the name be surpressed. The S.M. sentenced the man to three days' imprisonment and ordered that the name be not published. ; NOT AN UNDESIRABLE. A Jew named Nonny Samershaw, aged 10 years, who deserted from, a Norwegian steamer recently in Auckland, had been remanded on a charge of being an undesirable alien. Mr. Goldstine, who appeared for the lad, said the Government and now decided to permit him to remain in New Zealand. The S.M. pointed out to Samershaw that he was lucky to get a welcome to such a fine country as New Zealand and £ent him away happy. NOT WANTED ON THE COURSE. Charged with being found on the Alexandra Park racecourse several "undesirables" were fined John Graham .Bryan was fined £5. William Fleet, described by Chief Detective Cummings as a bookmaker, "and still carrying on his calling," j was fined £10 and told that next time i it would be the maximum. Albert Hugo I Korth, Frederick William Niccoll, and Len Tozer, were each fined £10. AFTER HOURS. Being found on licensed premises, the Royal Hotel, after hours, was the charge against George Farnworth, James Barker, John Land (for whom Mr. Bone appeared), nnd John Tulloch. Each was fined £1 with costs. WATER IN THE MILK. In answering a charge of selling milk, that was not up to standard, Mr. Bennett said the defendant, Joseph Ruben Clark, Heme Bay, did not know how the watfi- got in. The milk was handled by several people in the country before he got it. Since the incident defendant had sold his round, so there was no chance of a repetition . The S.M. inflicted a charge of £10 with costs. GIVEN A CHANCE. A young woman, whose name the magistrate ordered to be suppressed, pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing-i £1 from a man who boarded where she j had been working. Sister Pat, win, i appeared with the accused, said the! latter felt the position most acutely. I The magistrate put the accused on probation. HARDLY FRATERNAL.
