POLICE COURT NEWS.
BREACH OF PROBATION. YOUNG MAN SENT TO PRISON. A plea of guilty was made by Arnold Bridge Moody, aged 24, labourer, when charged in the Police Court yesterday with failing to comply with the terms and conditions of his release on probation. It was stated by the police that several months ago accused was admitted to pro-bat-ion for two years for theft at Whangarei. He had reported only once and had not made restitution. The magistrate, Mr. F. K. Hunt, passed sentence of three months' imprisonment. For being rogues and vagabonds, George Harrison, aged 50, and James Martin O'Brien, aged 46, both labourers, were sent to prison for six months. Both men were described by the police, as convicted vagrants, methylated spirits addicts and " cadgers." Owing to their bad conduct they had been refused admission to the Salvation Army's home and the Auckland City Mission's shelter. A fine of £2 and costs, in default seven days' imprisonment, was imposed on Sidney H. Boatman, who admitted using obscene language at the Auckland railway station on October 9.
