GIRLS FOUND IN SHIP
Refusal To Leave (NJC. Press Association) DUNEDIN, May 13. Three girU were each fined £lO, costs £1 10a, by Mr J. D. Willis, SJM., in the Magistrate’s Court today for reflating to leave a ship at Port Chalmers on Saturday morning. They are Hilda Phillips, aged 21, Tina Purus Kerei, aged 21, and Rangi Maria Man,pis, aged 30, all unemployed. Default was fixed at 10 days’ imprisonment. Inspector A. Hunt said the three girls, who came from Auckland, were found by the police in the Tasmania Star at 4.15 am. on Saturday. They were in a seaman's cabin in stages of undress. Each said she had been asked aboard by seamen and refused to leave. The girls told the Magistrate they wished to return to Auckland. The Magistrate said they were “an unsavoury trio of the worst type” and nobody would stop them from returning to Auckland. He also commented that they were liable only to a fine and that “the sooner the legislation is changed the better.”
