MAGISTRATE'S WARNING
"When a person defies and keeps on defying the orders of. the man-power officer there is only one thing to do, and that is to send the person to prison," said Mr. W. C. Harley, S.M., at Lower Hutt yesterday to Marjory Carleen Hunt, who, having been directed to employment, had left after 4J hours, and had refused to return. The Magistrate said he did not, however, wish to send a girl to prison, and as he had' her solicitor's assurance that she would return to work she would be convicted and ordered to come up for sentence within three months if called upon. . . „ At the same sitting, Patricia Margaret Boyle, who had already returned to work, was convicted and discharged, the Bench remarking that she had just escaped imprisonment.
