WHITE WOMEN AND CHINESE
ANOTHER OFFENDER PUNISHED
Every effort is being made by the police to prevent the immoral association of white women with Chinese or Hindus, and almost every week for the last two or three months at least one woman or girl has been convicted in the Magistrate's Court of being either a rogue and a vagabond or an idle and disorderly person. In most cases, the Bench has committed the accused to some home, observing that it was in her own interests to do so. , .;, Another such offender appeared be- , fore Mr. J. H. Salmon, 8.M., to-day. She was Susan Tobin, a domestic, aged 40 j and she pleaded guilty to being a ! rogue and a vagabond, with insufficient lawful means of support.

She has not done any'work i for a considerable time, and has six previous convictions for the same class of offence."
"Six months' reformative detention," aaid the Magistrate.
