A PRECIOUS PAIR.

' fTKere arc some beautiful specimens % the way of disorderly houses m and arouiid Christchurch. and the suburban peeler casts his optic on them jwhen he isn't running' m the stray cow. The respectable suburb— the tofcfy one, or the . one that has pretensions to tofliness, doesn't like women »f ill-fame parading their localities, getting boozed,- enticing the young Bloods to go to the devil, and smashing .tkings generally a A> fiqtous^den

has just been broken up at Linwood, where two harlots named Elizabeth Charlotte Joyce and Emma. Annie Hiekinbottom, held sway, and provided gaiety for the neighborhood* The woman Hiekinbottom is the divorced wife of a well-known Christchurch business man. Joyce is a married woman, and both are a, pair of real grafters

ON THE PATH OP SIN. Mrs J., whose husband is a bakery who does most of his work at nighttime, became so notorious that the 1 police stepped m and took away her children. . The neighbors have bees complaining at the drunken .orgies that have been going on lately, and at the numerous men who happened along and knocked at the wrong houses ; so Constable Flewellyn blue-pap-ered the couple, who promised the bench to clear out of the locality. This has now been done, so they were convicted and discharged. Where Joyce drifted to isn't known, but her mate, Hiekinbottom, has gone to Rangiora. The people of that borough are welcome to their gay and dashing visitor. It is stated that a new arrival m Christchurch is prepared to marry, her. He is also welcome to the lady.
