VAGRANCY CHARGE.
UNRULY CONDUCT ON TRAIN. "If I had the power to do so I would give you a term of reformative detention. What you need is steady work," said Mr. Wyvern" Wilson, S.M., in sentencing Harry Mafeking May to two months' imprisonment on a charge of being idle and disorderly. Accused had been previously before the Court and remanded for sentence. The magistrate said that accused's behaviour when he had travelled on a train without paying his fare had been unruly. He had broken parts of the carriage. Accused: There is a right and wrong way of treating a man. Some people up North are good, and others are like animals. I would put them in a cage if I had my way."
