UNRULY AND INSULTING.
PAKAXOA INMATE CHARGED. WOMAN SENT TO PRISON. "You and other women like you must know that you must behave yourself. Now you are going to take what' is coming to you," said Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M.j in the Police Court, to-day, to Beatrice Higgins, in sending her to prison for five weeks for a brcacli of the Reformative Institutions Act. Mrs. Higgins was charged with committing a breach by being unruly and insulting to other inmates of the Pakatoa Inebriates' Home.
"I suppose I had .better plead guilty," accused said. Detective Sergeant McHugh said Mrs. Higgins, who was an inmate on the island, had been causing disturbances among the inmates. So bad had she become that the authorities decided to bring her before the Court. Mrs. Higgins' period of detention on the island expired in five weeks.
"Well, she can now spend the other live weeks in gaol," said the magistrate.
