SLEPT IN A CAR
TWO IDLE MEN BEFORE COURT. George William Low, a labourer, aged 29, and Francis Walker, a labourer, aged 19, looking for a cheap “doss” on Thursday night, selected a car that was parked in a quarry along Oriental Bay m which to repose. Yesterday they appeared in the Magistrate’s Court, before Mr. J._ H. Salmon, S.M., charged with being idle and disorderly persons, without lawful means of support. Low said he was in receipt of a war pension of £3 6s. Bd. per month, and Walker stated that he expected to have means to support himself from that date. He had done his best to get work, but things on the wharf recently had been slack. The Magistrate convicted Low, who had a previous record, and. sentenced him to fourteen days’ imprisonment. Walker he ordered to come up for sentence if called upon within one month.
