THREE MONTHS' GAOL
Patrick James Houlihan, labourer, iq who appeared in the Magistrates Court on August 15 charged with being idle and disorderly, was then convicted by Mr. J. L. Stout, S.M., and ordered to come up for sentence within six months if called upon. Yesterday he appeared for sentence. Detective-Ser-geant E. H. Compton stated that since his last appearance in Court he had done no work. He had been directed by the Man-power Officer to employment, but had failed to take it up. "I have worked. I worked on the wharf for two days." the accused said. "I gave you a chance last time and you didn't "take it," replied the Magistrate. '-You will be sentenced to three months' imprisonment with hard labour." ~
