WOMAN FOUND ON SHIP AT AUCKLAND
(P.A.) ' AUCKLAND, Oct. 18. The law should be amended to prohibit women of an undesirable type from going aboard ships, said Mr J. H. Luxford S.M., today, when Mihi Wong Foy,-aged.3l, was charged with being idle and . disorderly, with insufficient means of support. The police .said the woman was found early yesterday morning in a cabin in the Lautoka. She was the Maori wife of a Chinese who was ill and unable to work. She was neglecting her two children. It .was stated that with the invalidity pension and child allowance, £2l was going to the home each month. The Magistrate said that in view of that the charge could not be sustained. “I cannot imagine why shipping companies allow women to go aboard,” he added.
