GIRL IN COURT

Two Charges Laid “A man cracked me. in the face last night, and that caused all the trouble; I don’t see him here anywhere,’’ said Kathleen Higgins, aged 19, tailoress, when charged before Mr. T. B. McNeil, S.M., in the Police Court on Saturday with drunkenness and also with wilfully damaging a chair, the property of the Government. A remand for a week was granted. “She seems to be at a loose end,” said Sub-Inspector Lopdell. “She does not seem to know where her parents are. She was in the care of an institution up to a certain period in life, and she has gone astray since. It is probably advisable that some arrangements be made for her future. Ido not know where she wishes to go.” “I’ll go,” said accused, although no place was mentioned. Begged Alms William Pendleton, aged 39, was convicted and ordered to come up for sentence if called .on in six months on .a charge of being idle and disorderly in that he begged for alms in Vivian Street. A condition made was that he pay the witness’s expenses. Alexander Herd, aged 19, painter, was convicted on two charges of obscene exposure. On the’first he was sentenced to six months’ imprisonment and on the second he was ordered to come up for sentence if called on in six months.
