IDLE AND DISORDERLY
FURTHER CHARGES PENDING. BAIL FIXED AT £SO. A charge of being an idle and disorderly person was preferred against Peter Lucas in the Justices' Court yesterday morning before Messrs W. S. Cato and A. L. Flux, J.P.'s. Sergeant Paine stated that the defendant had been arrested about 10.30 on Tuesday evening. He asked for a remand for eight days, there being a possibility that other charges would be preferred against defendant. The man had been out of work for the past fortnight. Lucas stated he had been employed in a local restaurant for a month. He subsequently lost another job because he assaulted a man. He held that he had purchased a railway ticket quite openly on Tuesday evening—he was just going on in the chance of getting work as he had done in the past, hoping eventually to get to Hawke's Bay. Sergeant Paine, pointing out that the police had reason to believe other charges would be preferred against this man on the 12th, stated he would not care to accept anything below £SO as bail. The Bench ordered that defendant be remanded until the 12th, bail being fixed at this amount.
