MORE DRUNKENNESS
STEADY INCREASE SHOWN COMMENT BY MAGISTRATE "I notice the list for drunkenness has been increasing steadily—in fact, it has been increasing all tho year," said Mr. Wyvern Wilson, S.M., ill the Police Court yesterday, when 27 men were fined for drunkenness. Sub-Inspector Fox: That is so, Your Worship. I think* the increased sustenance allowance is partly responsible for this. "If it continues in this way we will probably have to increase tho fines," the magistrate added. "I think you had better take heavier bail in future. Instead of the usual bail of 10s, 1 think tho police had better take £l."
