BAD CHARACTERS.
TWO WOMEN CHARGED. ONE SENT TO PRISON. Elsie Clara Logan, aged 34, appeared at the Police Court to-day for sentence on a charge deeming her to he a rogue and vagabond who consorted with undesirables. Mr. Selwyn Clark said that the man who was going to marry her, had left Auckland some time ago, when he found that there was a warrant out against him in connection with a "sly-grog" case. "You heard what the police had to say about her last week," said Mr. E. K. Hunt, S.M. "Her record is a very had one and I cannot overlook it. I think if the man saw it he would not marry her." Logan was sentenced to six months' imprisonment. HER FIRST APPEARANCE. "This woman has been under observation for some months and she has been associating with some of the worst characters in the city, also frequenting hotels and drinking," said DetectiveSergeant Kelly, about Ethel Briggs, aged 49. Briggs, for whom Mr. K. Aekins appeared, pleaded guilty to a charge of being an idle and disorderly person who habitually consorted with undesirables. Counsel said the woman had never been in trouble before, and he submitted she was worthy of another chance. In order that a report might be obtained from Major Gordon, the magistrate remanded her to appear to-morrow.
