Cases in the Magistrate's Court todaywere dealt with by Mr. E. Page, S.M.

, John Flaunagan, aged 73, a seaman, was fined £1, in default seven days' imprisonment for a third statutory offence of drunkenness, and Albert Arthur Baker, aged 53, a labourer, was fined 10s, in default three clays' imprisonment for a second statutory offence of drunkenness. A remand until next Wednesday was granted in the case of Sydney Lloyd Bellette, aged 17, a butcher's assistant, and Henry Clarke Angclo, aged 17, a message boy, who are jointly charged with attempting to break and enter the Central Meat Mart in Ghuznec Street, on, July 10 with intent to commit a' crime therein. Bail was allowed to each in the sum of £50, with one surety, of £50. Stated by ' Inspector H. Martin to' be "leading rather loose lives," Florence Roma Aitken, aged 21. a domestic, Albert William Cox, aged 20, a signwriter, and Andrea Malcolm Perica, aged 20, a mechanic, were charged with being idle and disorderly persons. They pleaded guilty. The inspector stated that the three had been found by Constable O'Boyle and Detective Robinson in a house in Taranaki Street yesterday morning. In the possession of Cox was what the inspector called an indexed "stud book." ■ "That is the extent of this young man's living, apparently," said the inspector. Cox had previously been before the Court, but Pejica had not. Mr. F. W. Qngley explained that the girl had been allowed to drift, and he asked that she be sent to the Mount Magdala Home and not to a Borstal institute. The Women's Probation Officer (Miss Simpson) had no objection to that being done and the Magistrate convicted Aitken and ordered her to come up for sentence if called upon, within twelve months on condition »~that she remains at Mount Magdala dining that time.

CVix and Perica were remanded until tomorrow tp enable the Probation 'Officer (Mr. T. P. Mills) to make further inquiries. .'
