GAY GREGORY.

1 Nabbed ia Syiacy. ' W) small surprise packet awaited a tieardless youth named John A. Gregory at Sydney lately., when a .burly '•'Tec. placed his paw on the o\d faniir • !iar shoulder m the old familiar way. iJ.A.G., it appears, had been canood9ing with a girl named Marion Bushel at Christchurch, a city where so much of. that sort of thing is done, and which holds an easy record for tthe colony for the unwanted illegitimate. The immoral intercourse . beitween the loving pair saw a doctor and nurse called m to the girl's abode an-d another unit added to our muchdeeded population. And H wasn't a •bad sort of a unit either. But Gregory flitted to Sydney, as so many have done before him, and the girl sighed and decided to be revenged. She liad the money . provided to bring the swine back ; the police wouldn't act otherwise ; they require the 'dibs every time. Well, Gregory was nabbed Sn Sydney and was brought back by • 'Acting-'Tcc. Gibson. THE YOUNG LOTHARIO admitted paternity when brought. beFore Beak Bishop at Christchurch this week, and Lawyer Fisher said terms of settlement had been arrived at. There was no question of marrying (the girl mentioned ; . it is bad policy tor a couple to splice m such a case ,as the 'present, as the probability isthat they would never agree ana th_ere iwould be a separation ia no .time. iXZeLV gadding Gregory has to pay „7s v'i6d "per week until his darling child 'Ss fourteen years of age. Also he had .ito find. a surety of £100 that he would! comply with the said bit oi blue pappr. Also he was -adjudged to pay the costs of bringing him back to Sydney—£ls 8s 7d. These odd coppers always seem to work themselves into official But that's nothing. Gregory has also to part up £11 .12s M confinement exes, which were unusually, heavy. The required security was found,., and Gregory must now settle down to work of! a dead horse.
