VAGRANTS FROM AUCKLAND.
PROSECUTION IN TDIAEU. TIMARU, Thursday. Coming from Auckland three weeks ago. Wiliiam James Smith, aged 25, and James Douglas Silby, 30, in an endeavour to obtain money, told fictitious tales of expecting thousands "of pounds from relatives: Besides consorting with undesirable women and convicted persons, 'they were drunk yesterday, and' they appeared to-day on charges of drunkenness and vagracy. Smith had four previous convictions for theft. * After sentencing each to two months' in gaol, Mr. C. B. Orr Walker, SAL, changed his mind, and ordered that they be detained in custody for a week, to see if work could be found for them.
