The Evening Star SATURDAY, MARCH 4, 1899.

Messrs C. Ziele and J. Wren, Justices, occupied the bench at the Police Court this morning, when Lun Sen Chong, charged with vagrancy, did not appear. Sergeant O'Neill explained that the case was adjourned from last Saturday in order to give accused an opportunity of going to work, but up to the present he had not made a staj-t. He had no home, and was found sleeping on the overbridge steps last week. The Bench inflicted a sentence of one month's imprisonment. Margaret Buckingham, similarly charged, pleaded not guilty. The sergeant called evidence to show that the woman had no means of support, and wandered about the town. The Bench sentenced her to seven days' incarceration.
