PECULIAR INCIDENTS.
INTRUDER AT GOVERNMENT HOUSE. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION'—COPYRIGHT. (Received Jan. 21, 12.35 p.m.) PERTH, Jan. 21. There have been peculiar incidents at Government House. When a constable came on duty early on Tuesday morning he found a labourer .named Bush dressed in a military officer’s uniform in the private secretary’s room. He informed the constable that he could go off duty, he claiming to be the Governor’s son. He then walked into the drawing-room, and made himself comfortable in an easy chair. The constable called a footman, whom Bush in a nonchalant manner sought to dismiss. Bush was recognised as a man who had lately given considerable trouble about Goyernment House.
Lady Campion came on the scene, and denied that Bush was her son, whereupon he bolted. He was captured in the garden, and subsequently sentenced to two months’ imprisonment on a charge of being unlawfully on the premises. He was recently discharged from hospital after being under medical observation.
