WOMAN FINED
DISOBEYING WARDEN (0.C.) WELLINGTON, Saturday. When a woman named Mary Anderson, of Willis Street, was approached by a warden during an E.P.S. trial on June 20, and told she would have to take shelter, she said she was out for a walk and would continue it. She refused to give her name. She was stopped by another warden, then a third, later by a traffic inspector, and finally by a constable. Still she refused to give her name, but after she had been taken forcibly to the Mount Cook police station she expressed regret at refusing to obey instructions.
In the Magistrate's Court she was fined £2 and costs by Mr. A. M. Goulding. S.M. Senior Sergeant G. Paine said the wardens were not out for their own amusement, but for the protection of the public. Counsel said the woman had mistakenly thought the first warden was trying to be ''fresh," and unfortunately she later became stubborn about the matter.
