Alexander Marinug Christinus Tuk, aged 59, described as a cook from Holland, was in the Magistrate's Court to-day charged with wilfully breaking a pane of glass, valued at ss, the property of the Government. "This man was in Hereford street last night, opposite the Old Post Office Building," said the sub-inspector. "He deliberately broke a pane of glass and then waited for a constable to come and arrest him. He said that he had no work, no money, and no place to go, and wanted to be locked up. It was just a case of an honest man having neither job, money, nor homo getting desperate. It is a case of real hard luck, and far removed from tho usual type that comes before your Worship." The man was convicted and ordered to como up for sentence. The Salvation Army promised to look after him.
